Returning from a spring semester abroad in Colombia, Delaney was surprised with a host of unnecessarily complicated problems— and she wasn’t alone.Encouraging study abroad at Harvard was a primary initiative of former University President Lawrence H. Summers. Despite his relatively short tenure, his legacy remains to this...
