...wrong," says Suez's Chaussade. "We need to charge for water to avoid waste and deterioration of our natural resources. But this doesn't mean that everyone should pay the same price." The French giants of the industry can shrug and point out that it is not their task to set that price. That's up to markets and governments that want to regulate them to provide access to the poor, subsidize farmers or soak the rich.

Although HMS is not directly analogous to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), HMS’ experience shows just how important incentive schemes are. In January, the Task Force on Teaching and Career Development at FAS released an extensive report which suggests tying pay raises to teaching in more extensive and explicit ways. Such changes are critical to improve pedagogy at Harvard, which can be wildly inconsistent. We hope that person who will actually institute these reforms?...
