The Yale Daily News has a pretty good wrap-up of events going on at Harvard.

(Which is to say, there’s not a hint of schadenfreude.)

The News gets a number of quotes that move the ball forward.

Judith Ryan: “I personally think that the only good solution would be for him to resign.”

Yale president Richard Levin: No comment.
This would fall under the “If your enemy is shooting himself in the foot, stand back and let him” category.

Stephan Thernstrom: “The Corporation … is probably rather troubled by what’s going on now. It would not be too astonishing if President Summers’ days were numbered, but that could be wrong.”
A remarkable concession from one of Summers’ strongest supporters. This does not bode well for the Harvard president.

Like the Times piece discussed below, this article seems pretty balanced. The real damage to Summers is its existence. Let me put it this way:

Harvard=Larry Summers, controversy, division, anger.
Yale=Richard Levin, stability, growth, no controversy.

That may or may not be fair, but public perception has nothing to do with fairness.
