Expecting Cornel West to actually do the job he was being paid to do was only part of Summers' undoing. He tried to improve the lackluster School of Education at Harvard, too, again, meeting push-back.

But what sent the liberal arts faculty over brink was Summers saying that "there may be some biological differences between" the genders.

A woman biology researcher from MIT present at Summers talk, apparently an early Snowflake in academia, almost melted hearing Summers say that.

Paglia's common sense about some stuff isn't welcomed in "education".

True, the spectacle of that female MIT biology prof having a total meltdown at Summers is one of the (many) enduring periods of shame for modern academia. A BIOLOGIST, of all things, unable to tolerate even the mere discussion of possible biological differences. She said she was so upset she could hardly breath and had to leave the room. What a pitiful snowflake.

fwiw, Summers did not even assert that
“biological” differences between men and women were any definite explanation for different outcomes in math and physics achievements... he was merely outlining 3 “hypotheses” for attempted explanations of why there are not more female math and physics profs, especially at the highest levels.

But the mere “hypothesis” could not even be discussed by a so-called scientist at MIT. Un-frickin-believable.
