"We lack decisiveness," he added, and "we are held hostage by our analysis paralysis." Garlinghouse got part of his wish. Yahoo...
...applaud the Task Force for its commitment to students and for its sound practical diagnoses. The importance of such a strong public commitment to teaching by nine of Harvard’s most recognizable names should not be underestimated.Three of the Task Force’s recommendations deserve particular attention from the full Faculty.
