Summers and discontents

Article Abstract:

The resignation of Lawrence Summer on 21 February from his post as president of Harvard University after five years came after much criticism of his management style, his perceived arrogance and his suggestion that women are less suited to advanced science than men. Supporters of Summers say his resignation was due to his reformist agenda which threatened powerful vested interests at Harvard.
