Peretz held a part time in Social Studies (often as little as 10 per cent) renewed annually for many years. He evidently he wanted to claim the status of a Harvard faculty member. This was strictly against the FAS policy. It was overlooked by his pal Dean Rosovsky. Also Peretz started giving regular contributions to Harvard for pet causes at this time. Knowles eventually put a stop to the annual renewal. A good case for those intrepid investigative reporters at the Crimson?
 

Marty Peretz can't write; either that, or he's a dolt. Because he makes no sense. He should stop licking toes and resign in protest at his own stupidity. Come to think of it, so should a lot of people.
 

Looks like someone should contact the editor of The New Republic and tell him to update the bios on some of his contributors. The FAS online directory lists Peretz only as an honorary associate of one of the Houses (though also lists a Social Studies office address and telephone number and an FAS email address for him). But the TNR's web site claims:

"Marty Peretz has been editor-in-chief of The New Republic since 1974. Simultaneously he has kept up his teaching at Harvard University, where he has been a part-time lecturer in Social Studies since joining tnr."

Perhaps, anon 4:50, difficulty with English tenses is part of his writing problem.
