...hope that the new “what it means to be human” requirement will become more than a vague addendum, and grow to comprehend a wide variety of courses from across Harvard that address ultimate questions of truth, meaning, and purpose. Faith traditions like Christianity have much to teach us in this regard, and should not be neglected in this new proposed component. Many Harvard classes, like Wolfson Professor of Jewish Studies Jay M. Harris’ Moral Reasoning 54: “If There Is No God, All Is Permitted,” already take...

Looking ahead, Hyman says that he will work to implement the recommendations of the University Planning Committee for Science and Engineering, set to be released next month.

...Whoever gets the job will also be trying to do it as both parties head into what is the most wide-open presidential election in over half a century. It seems like half the Senate chamber is either running for President or thinking about it. All of those Senators will be grandstanding to the primary voters in their own party, and ingratiating themselves with the interest groups they think they need. That's hardly conducive to statesmanship or compromise...
