February 09, 2006THE CROCODILES ARE HUNGRY AGAIN"It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation, And that is called paying the Dane-geld; Once again, we are learning the lesson that appeasement, masking as tolerance and empathy, doesn't work. Once again we learn that totalitarians want to suppress freedom, not just of speech but of thought. "The Faculty’s elected governing body asked professors yesterday to consider completely excluding University President Lawrence H. Summers from the search for a new dean—in what might be an even more direct challenge to Summers’ authority than last year’s no-confidence vote. The proposal was one of three plans outlined by the Faculty Council to ensure that professors exert substantial power in the appointment of outgoing Dean of the Faculty William C. Kirby’s successor. And a day after professors blasted Summers at a heated Faculty meeting, at least one council member said yesterday that she is “quite seriously considering” placing a vote of no confidence on the agenda for the next meeting of the full Faculty on Feb. 28. “It does appear to be something of an emergency situation,” said Weary Professor of German and of Comparative Literature Judith L. Ryan, who said she may decide to place the motion on the agenda as early as today. The Faculty already expressed their lack of confidence in Summers with a 218-185 vote last March, and a second successful vote would seriously undermine an already-troubled presidency. “I’m sure it would pass,” Ryan said, adding that this new motion could receive even broader support than last year’s vote. And Professor of the History of Science Everett I. Mendelsohn said yesterday that even in the absence of a no-confidence vote, the Harvard Corporation—the University’s highest governing body, which has sole power to remove Summers—may take action against the president. “There is some probability that the Corporation will push the president out,” Mendelsohn said..."

As soon as Dr.Summers uttered those now infamous words, he should have immediately wrote his letter of resignation and commited sepaku.
The heathens who are all for a bloodletting of him will find nothing less satisfactory.
In time they will begin to eat each other, their
type of cannabilism is nondiscrimnatory.
They should all be looking at each other with deep distrust by now, as the secret backstabbing has most likely been going on among their constituents.
Oh what an ugly entity is man at times.
