The Crimson runs a fascinating piece on the coalition of department chairs at Harvard which has quietly developed into a powerful anti-Summers faculty bloc.

I enjoy irony, so I often point out the ironies of Summers’ presidency, and here’s another one: A president who has set out to diminish the power of the faculty may well wind up increasing that power, because he has united so many professors in opposition to him.

And from what I hear, Summers has returned to his imperial manner these days, and is acting as if the brouhaha of last spring never happened….

In Cambridge, the drama is far from over.
