HARVARD SEEKS TO “ELEVATE” WOMEN THROUGH MASSIVE INFUSION OF CASH —– by Steve Nadis

Embattled Harvard University president Lawrence Summers has made at least 100 apologies since January 14, when he suggested that the dominance of men in science and math may be due to innate differences. (The actual term he used was “intrinsic aptitude.”) But now that summer is approaching, Summers has grown tired of apologizing. Instead, he’s trying to put that controversy to rest, pledging to spend $50 million in the next decade to improve the situation for women on campus. However, if the “provocative” assertion he has since recanted was, in fact, correct, one has to wonder whether $50 million will be enough.
