U Arizona, though geographically far from the center of the storm, is erupting, along with the entire feminist universe:
Professor Karen Anderson has this to add:
Dear Fellow Travelers,Lawrence Summers is the same one who wrote a memo advocating exporting pollutionto underdeveloped countries because lives there were not worth as much as firstworld lives. This was leaked. He never disavowed it and never apologized. ABrazilian official who publicly condemned it, however, lost his job.You can read this at http://www.converge.org.nz/lac/articles/news990613a.htmSo, of course, he goes on to be Secretary of the Treasury and then president ofHarvard. This is what "business" leadership in the academy could portend.

And another comment:
If this president does not get fired over this, it will be a blow to all of us who have been pushing a feminist agenda for so long. I believe that individual and collective protests to the Harvard regent's (trustees?) is very warranted.

And the latest:
