Lord, How the Money Won't Roll In
The good news is that if Summers is forced out fundraising should be better for everyone else - no one's going to give money to the Harvard faculty of Arts & Sciences for a while. The better news is that if Summers stays we may see tenure reform in our time.
Further: Attempting to address reporters after the meeting, Summers was shouted down by a few dozen students waving a large sign that proclaimed "End Sexism" and chanting "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Larry Summers has got to go!" Even better. For every "hey, hey" chant they lose a million dollars. Shouting down your own president (especially a moderate Dem like Summers) is a great way to alienate alums.
