A day after the Crimson and three days after the story was posted on this blog, the Globe takes note of Larry Summers’ dis-invitation…..

Meanwhile, the San Jose Mercury News notes that the decision by the UC Board of Regents to disinvite Summers is stirring up controversy.

The University of California Board of Regents is being accused of squashing academic debate for withdrawing its invitation to former Harvard University President Lawrence H. Summers to address the board.

…”The fact that the university capitulated to this is appalling. The administration is intimidated by a minority of faculty,” said David Horowitz, a conservative writer who founded the activist group Students For Academic Freedom. “Summers is a brilliant guy. I don’t share his politics - but if you can’t discuss ideas at a university, where can you discuss them?”

Because he was quoted in the Crimson yesterday, and because reporters are lazy, Greg Mankiw is quoted in both the Globe and the Mercury News.
