    Odds of another woman of color as her successor? Or maybe a white female this time.

    Education is extremely important.

        They should pick someone who doesn't have a gender.

        And maybe handicapped.

        And morbidly obese.

              Of course...

              "Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor — two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am — and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus."

              "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  CNN "analyst" unclear on the concept of what "plagiarism" means.

                            I wonder how much truth there is to Obama stepping up to support her, and I wonder how much clout he has.

                            I would google it, but I don't really want to google "obama gay".

                                You too, sir. I just opened this thread for the first time in weeks and saw your prediction 14 days ago.

                                    By the way, the Harvard Corporation statement at least mentions her transgressions. Not with specifics but it at least mentions that there were some.

                                      And though she has resigned as president, she still keeps her job at Harvard as a (cough) "scholar."

                                      The salary is about $900K, which is more than I made in 7 months.
