The Winter of Summers Discontent

'The Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard approved a resolution on Tuesday expressing a lack of confidence in the leadership of the university's president, Lawrence H. Summers, citing longstanding dissatisfaction with his management style and, to a lesser extent, his remarks in January about women in math and science. The vote was 218 in favor and 185 opposed, with 18 abstentions. At an intense and sober meeting, Dr. Summers's supporters accused his opponents of political correctness while his critics emphasized that their concerns had nothing to do with political correctness but were about Dr. Summers's leadership, as well as his remarks concerning a lack of women in science.'

First he picks a fight with black professor Cornel West. Then he picks a fight with women. Watch for his next fight: with homosexuals.
