Associate Dean of Student Life and Activities Judith H. Kidd will accept the administration??s retirement incentive package and retire from her post this summer, Kidd confirmed to The Crimson yesterday. “It was a very difficult choice to make, and I suspect it would always be difficult to leave,” Kidd said. The retirement plan, announced earlier this semester as a cost-cutting measure, allows staff members over 55 years of age with at least 10 years of service as of June 30 to voluntarily choose early retirement.

By framing the debate around Gen Ed in fundamentally semantic terms...
...Center, many scientists are heavily involved with exoplanet research. Harvard astrophysicists have developed one of the most “exciting” techniques in the search for exoplanets, known as the transit method, which is currently being utilized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration??s Kepler Mission, Sasselov said. NASA’s Kepler telescope is designed to find Earth-like planets around other stars. “Harvard is very much involved [with Kepler], providing the scientific backing for the mission,” said Sasselov. Scientists said that they are optimistic about Kepler?...
