Though some are lured away to more lucrative fields, many are frustrated by limited opportunities to move up. "People who have worked hard, been on the rewrite bank, done the police beat are not being promoted as fast as their white counterparts," charges Ira Hadnot, a vice...

Equally offensive is the inclusion of Professor Alan Heimert '49, director of the South Africa Fellows Program, on the agenda. Heimert lost the credibility to speak with any moral authority on Harvard's relations with South Africa when, along with Steiner, he designed the ill-fated internship program to send Harvard students to teach in South African schools.
