  The Return of the Prodigal Couple
The Crimson reports that Marcyliena Morgan and Lawrence Bobo are returning to Harvard after having decamped to Stanford in January 2005.

Af-Am Chair Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham said that the change of leadership in the University was one factor that made Morgan and Bobo’s return possible.

University President Drew G. Faust contacted the couple in person to urge them to return to Harvard, Gates said, and Higginbotham said that Af-Am faculty wooed the pair this summer over dinners in Cambridge and Martha’s Vineyard.

Morgan, you will recall, is the author of Language, Discourse and Power in African American Culture, as well as the forthcoming The Real Hiphop - Battling for Knowledge, Power, and Respect in the Underground.

Does this mean we're finally allowed to be happy about the overrated Caroline Hoxby leaving?

Now that those who went West are returning, it's time to get West back...

Drew Faust wants to significantly increase the number of black faculty members. How about appointing a few black deans as well? There are plenty of openings to replace the bad appointments Larry made.
