Things just keep getting leftier and leftier.
Members of Harvard Law School's gay student organization have decided to protest military recruitment on campus by reserving interview slots for themselves and then using the interview to "come out" to their interviewer. That's right. Taking interview slots from their classmates who want to serve their country in order protest in a wholly ineffective way. A few better ways to protest might be: writing letters to legislators to urge policy change, doing it the old fashioned way with signs, marches and posters, or pretty much doing anything else that might indicate that the purpose of the protest is to change minds and persuade rather than to privately snark at our fighting men and women.
Further, in order to decrease the ability of their graduates to market themselves to employers, Harvard has scotched the "grading" thing. I'm waiting for the decreased marketing ability of this new system reflected in a reduced tuition price. I may be waiting for some time....
After the whole Summers flap I thought I had seen a remarkably long spate of mostly reasonable behavior. Clearly this had to come to an end... Welcome Back, Leftibus Maximus! I'd wondered where you'd gone.
