...should the University make any effort to change what has been the status quo throughout the University's history? Harvard is certainly as popular and as prestigious as ever--donations and applications have not slowed down simply because women hold a mere fraction of the tenured faculty positions at the University or because a woman has yet to reign over Massachusetts Hall.

It's hard not to get excited by a fashion designer who so resolutely marches to the beat...
...allege that the gains in minority scores might be illusory. According to a study published last month by Walt Haney, an education professor at Boston College, growing numbers of the state's minorities - as many as 50% in some schools - are either dropping out or are granted "special education" status, meaning their test scores are not counted toward their school's overall ranking.
