	Biography of Lawrence H. Summers
		His election by the President and Fellows of Harvard College with the counsel and consent of the Board of Overseers was announced on March 11, 2001, marking the culmination of an intensive and broad-ranging nine-month search for a successor to Neil L. Rudenstine.
		Summers is the former Nathaniel Ropes Professor of Political Economy at Harvard, and in the past decade served in a series of senior public policy positions, most recently as secretary of the treasury of the United States.
		In 1983, he returned to Harvard as a professor of economics, one of the youngest individuals in recent history to be named as a tenured member of the University's faculty.

	In the Agora: Harvard's Beleaguered President
		The president must go, they say, because of a series of abuses, this last of which has made it impossible for him to be an effective administrator.
		As President of Harvard, Summers is in the unique positition of having everything he says be analyzed as though he were speaking for both himself and for the school.
		So if Harvard's faculty wants to say that it is beyond acceptable for their administrator to go out and give speeches like the one in question at a time when Harvard's faculty hiring policies with regards to women are already coming under question, then I wouldn't see a problem with it.

		As Harvard can afford to staff its faculty almost exclusively with superstars, and as superstars are loath to teach, the gap between the global power of the brand and the actual quality of the education delivered is quite large.
		The president of Harvard is many thingsâ”a fund-raiser, a gladhander, an educator, a politician, a bureaucrat.
		The adjective Bradley uses to describe him is "deferential," and for the president of Harvard, Rudenstine cut an almost absurdly humble figure, composing longhand thank-you notes on the slightest pretext.

	Harvard president raises firestorm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A recent comment by Harvard University President Lawrence Summers regarding possible “innate differences” between men and women that result in fewer women reaching top positions in science and engineering fields has created a flurry of debate and renewed controversy for Summers, who is now in his third year in the top position at Harvard.
		University of Chicago President Emeritus and Professor of History Emeritus Hanna Gray, also a fellow of the Harvard Corporation, cautioned that it is important not to jump to conclusions regarding Summers’s remarks at the NBER conference.
		Gray said that, from conversations with Summers, she did not think that he believed that innate differences between men and women held the latter back from achieving top positions in science and engineering fields, and that there was “clearly a misinterpretation,” of what he said.
