I know it's a good thing for guys who want to get laid, so not too many men are complaining about it, but it's a bad sign that there are 130 women for every 100 men in college today.

if you're gay I guess it is. Otherwise, it's a very good thing Smiley

He will probably resign, I can't see the dutiful liberal students and faculty at Hahvahd standing for keeping him much longer

To the extent that Lawrence Summers was a Clinton Democrat, I actually like his leadership of Harvard, if only because he told Cornell West to spend less time burning rap CDs and more time doing research and writing papers (you know, what professors are paid to do).

Oooo, Liberals suppresing free speech.

No, suppressing free speech would be calling for his arrest.  These people are asking him to personally take responsibility for his actions.

We don't know what he said.  They are attacking him for *maybe* saying these things.  Calling for someones resignation is suppressing their free speech.  If he is fired, he lost his job because he expressed himself.

They were not calling for his firing, they were asking for his resignation.

Even if asking him to resign is going too far, NOW is definitely right to call attention to the situation.

Wasn't he Secretary of the Treasury under Clinton?

He's obviously not getting fired, and he's even more obviously not resigning. I imagine he laughed at NOW's "demand."
