I am a graduate alumnus of Harvard, in a science department that still retains its honor (as does most of Harvard science, medicine, and engineering). (That is more than I can say for the "human rightser" NWO Kennedy School and the paganized, feminazi/gaysbian Divinity School.)

In pushing out Summers for his speculations about researching women's abilities versus men's , and in selecting Faust, Harvard has knowtowed to the very WORST segment of its faculty, together with outside feminazi agitators!!!!

The vast majority of Harvard's faculty, including nearly all of the professional school faculty, did not approve of pushing Summers out, or of censuring him!! It was only the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, driven by a determined feminazi ideology-driven cabal, (including outside agitators) that made this happen!!!!

Not only did Faust preside over a feminazi and lesbian-infested, ideolgically-driven "institute", but she is a Southern "women's history" specialist. In other words, just the kind of researcher that feminazis love.

What about Harvard's scientists, engineers, and medical doctors, and even its law and business school? Can they be adequately led by a darling of the feminazis? What about Harvard's new initiatives for a science campus in the Alston section of Boston, across the Charles River?

The whole thing stinks to high heavens!!!!

I don't like making fun of people because of their looks, that is something one typically is born with, but that hair. It really sends a message.

Isn't that woman the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church also?

Yes,it's a message that so many "womyn" in and around Harvard Square send by means of their appearance.She,no doubt,will allow freedom of academic inquiry...and speech.. to flourish during her tenure at Harvard.

Well,at least some speech and inquiry.

"It was a done deal that they would get some postmodernist-Marxist-feminist stooge, and apparently they did."

I read a number of books all saying the same things about Harvard: a bastion for postmodern thought. I also saw the movie The Devil Wears Prada, which I thought was designed as a preparatory forerunner to Hillary (set in corporate America as easily as Washington), and can see how this feminist getting the high-powered job could be just another case of the ascendancy of women. What I mean is that Paganism as an extreme form of feminism is back – paganism defined perhaps as the new impiety with protean, deceitful, human-like gods. The Hillary make-over comes to mind and – from reading Lyotard's take on paganism – with it a new sexual space, a topology of erotic power for women. The movie seemed to suggest this to me: sleeping with the boss has a potential lesbian current. Also the actress Anne Hathaway also played in the movie Brokeback Mountain, so I wouldn't to too shocked if something like that happened.

Anyway, what is also interesting is CNN's Christiane Amanpour and Jeffrey Toobin are specifically mentioned in The Devil Wears Prada as intellectually worthy of study and Fox's Rupert Murdoch is chastised as a villain. What is scary is that Freeper Howlin has already uncovered a connection between CNN and a polling company owned by the Clintons. Is the connection a coincidence? I doubt it. The Clintons are known for their devilishly deceitful, protean and erotic ways: true pagans out for power.

She looks kind of dykie to me. Also, does anyone think "Diversity" means anything other than "screw the white guy"?

Should the Board of Overseers confirm Faust, the Senior Vice Provost for Diversity that she created will be even more redundant than before.

Aint this great. A taxfree institution that charges 40K plus for tuition and is allowed to establish a position specifically to discriminate against white males. America is a great place if you are connected and can pull everybody's string.
