Looking back, Peterson admits his alarmist views "were never justified." Most professors concur, but nevertheless believe if they had it to do over, they would have moved with the same caution. The Faculty members at the time recoiled from the dangers of what Peterson calls a "precipitous merger," contending that Harvard was not "prepared" for the allegedly grandiose reversals in University tides...
...Federal Reserve's moves, particularly its shift toward management of the money supply through direct controls instead of manipulation of interest rates. Conservative Economist Alan Greenspan describes this development as "by far the most important and significant change in U.S. monetary policy in a generation," and others concur.

However, professors and the University have long ago set priorities that prevent student exploitation of these Faculty skills. Robert N. Brandon, a graduate student who taught Philosophy tutorial three years ago, said the problem partially arose from "faculty members' disinterest in teaching in general, because this is a major research university." Brandon added gently, "It is not that they don't like teaching so much. They just like other things better...
