The femi-nazi’s did him in at Harvard and I think he was not willing to go thru that whole process again. He is a bit of a jerk..always the smartest guy in the room and plays the role. He’s a friend of a friend. These big time Profs often lack the social skills to be good leaders.
Well, there's a bit more. It was an MIT biologist that was the final straw.
However, he was trying to revamp Harvard's School of Education, told Cornel West to stop making rap records, and get back in the classroom (probably less damage from rapping, but Harvard was paying him to teach...), but what really put them over the edge was suggesting that there might be a difference between the genders. The (female) MIT biologist went into a tizzy that finally galvanized the both the S.W.I.N.E and professors of FAS.
I was willing to cut him slack (for being a Clintonista), but after he stuck with BHO for as long as he did while Obamanomics all but killed the economy, good riddance to a bad and unprincipled economist.
