Second, and perhaps more importantly, scholars with an interdisciplinary focus, who do not fall neatly into one department or another (or even one school or another), are often neglected. Within FAS, Summers and former Dean William C. Kirby began to address this by creating divisional deans to oversee tenure offers for related groups of departments. This is a step in the right direction, but Harvard must redouble its efforts to compensate for structural problems that repel interdisciplinary scholars.

...protect the rest of the community from them! The Harvard students’ grave crime: making too much noise. Am I the only one who thinks someone upstairs has a few screws loose in their head? Noise complaints are certainly a legitimate issue for the police to address on a case-by-case basis, but we are living in a serious city with serious problems, and the occasional party with loud music and a little bit of (gasp!) underage drinking is not one of them.

That was the message last week from a Cairo conference organized by the Arab League and the U.N. Development Program, which drew together more than 300 leading religious figures from 20 Arab countries, and was jointly led by Sheikh Mohamed Sayed Tantawi, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Mosque - which is influential throughout the Sunni Muslim world - and Pope Shenouda III, head of the Coptic Orthodox Church and President of the Middle East...
