Guess which one is Drew Gilpin Faust
Lisa Nowak?
Will she get a plane?
Board of Overseers? Now there is a loaded, non-PC moniker. How could that one pass Rev. Jackson by? A "golden" opportunity for the right race card player.
Faust, eh?
Boy, I'm curious about the details of that contract...
"What a bargain!"
Hopefully it will be Hillary!...so we won't have to deal with her.

That was a forgone conclusion. They were ready do to anything to appease the vicious fire-spitting feminazis that caused them to get rid of the evil MALE president.
She has never run a major institution and did not attend Harvard, which the university usually prefers.
Given that Lawrence Summers is her predecessor, would I be a complete conspiracy-theorist in seeing this move as "forced" at just the time when Hillary! has a real possibility at the White House?
Drew Gilpin Faust? Are they sure she's a woman?
Here's hoping it's Rosie O'Doughnut-she'd be perfect for it. And they probably have benefits for same sex couples.
She's an Arts & Sciences type (history) and will fit right into the mold. It was the A & S faculty that forced Summers out. Summers fit like a fist in the eye. ("Faust" is German for fist but this lady will do nothing to disturb the smothering Harvard status quo.)
Oh, whooptee dooooo....and I'm a woman.....who couldn't care less!
I wonder if she's good in math or science...
Bio listed on the Radcliffe Institute website. She doesn't sound like the most radical of academia (compared to the truly nutty activists), by any means, but the mere fact that she was formerly Director of the Women's Studies Program at U. Penn guarantees that she has passed every PC litmus test academia can offer. She has certainly supported and defended the nutjobs, else she never would have been acceptable Penn's Women Studies Program.
