Freedom vs. The Academy
Alan Dershowitz, while disagreeing with Summers' comments on the innate abilities of women, says that Harvard is in a time of “crisis.”
"The crisis is over whether a politically correct straightjacket will be placed over the thinking of everybody in this institution by one segment of the faculty."
Dershowitz is not a man of the right. But he is a man of the academy who can read the writing on the wall.
