Harvard comes to its senses?

A Harvard librarian's discrimination lawsuit was rejected by a federal court today. Desiree Goodman, a black woman, claimed she was passed over for promotion because of her race and good looks. An interesting--and it seems to me, seriously misguided--argument against an institution that champions affirmative action admissions and employment policies. Ms. Goodman should read Harvard's brief from the Supreme Court cases two years ago, in which the Harvard brass defended its policies that specifically benefit people in her position.

  • The administration of Harvard does seem to be better put together than its faculty or students-- a rarity, but a welcome one.
