From The Chronicle of Higher Education:

Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences voted no confidence in the university's president, Lawrence H. Summers, on Tuesday.

The vote was 218 to 185, with 18 abstentions. Mr. Summers said after the vote that he planned to continue in his post and to work with the faculty.

The faculty also voted 253 to 137, with 18 abstentions, for a separate and milder motion that amounts to a censure of Mr. Summers for his recent controversial remarks that women may have innate differences of ability from men, as well as for his leadership style. Both votes were by secret ballot.


Should I hold my breath waiting for the AAUP to issue an Academic Freedom alert?
