The Harvard Affair

Prof. Wisse writing in Commentary, discusses the flap about Larry Summers. This is a very powerfully written, albeit totally against conventional views of "truth" about Harvard, the intellectual elite and the feminist movement. Women, like anyone, should be given equal treatment. But, it seems, "equal treatment" means special, prefreential treatment which has not attained the desired goals of the elite. One also wonders about the intellectual ability of the supposed intellectual elite. If the Harvard affair shows the mindset and intellectual ability of the school's faculity, then why would one want to spend a quarter million at a place so devoid of intellectual honesty educating one's child? Is a female professor at Harvard there because of ability or just there by social promotion?
