...tooth-and-claw campaign for the poetry professorship might also be described as Darwinian. The front runner, West Indian poet and Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, withdrew his candidacy four days before the poll after the resurrection of 1982 allegations that he sexually harassed a Harvard student.

Goodman, who received both a Ph.D in sociology and a JD from Yale, conducts research on patterns in the development of legal institutions around the world, integrating sociological and legal analysis approaches. At NYU, Goodman will assume a full professorship at the law school, and will also be affiliated with the sociology and politics departments. Goodman could not be reached for comment yesterday.
