Harvard Diversifies
Larry Summers has come around.
Harvard University President Lawrence Summers, under fire for comments on women in the sciences, said the school would spend $50 million over 10 years to promote diversity on its faculty and reform the way women in science and engineering are treated.
James Joyner says:
They’re now going to spend $50 million in an effort to get people who would ordinarily not have made it into Harvard into the pipleline, hire faculty members who wouldn’t have rated a phone call, and otherwise lowering their standards.
Michael C., though, wonders if maybe they will add a few token conservatives!
Feministing seems to be buying it though…
Does $50 million get Summers out of the doghouse? It certainly seems like a step in the right direction to me.
