		Harvard University president, Lawrence Summers, who has been embroiled in one controversy or another throughout his nearly five years in the office, announced Tuesday that he will step down in June.
		According to Tuesday's Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper, the latest vote was sparked by the recent resignation of the dean of the arts and sciences faculty, William Kirby, after the newspaper said Kirby was forced out by Summers.
		In a letter posted on Harvard's website, Summers, 52, a former economics professor who served as Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton administration, wrote that his Harvard presidency "has been one of the great joys of my professional life." He also said he has sought to "prod and challenge the University" to improve.

		In early 1654, the magistrates sent a letter to the ministers of the area requesting their thorough examination of President Dunster's position, for he "hath by his practice and opinions against infant baptism rendered himself offensive to this government." A conference of ministers and elders was held for two days to examine Dunster.

	The Chronicle: 2/1/2002: Why Shouldn't Harvard's President Ask Tough Questions?
		* The president has asked the faculty, as a whole, whether the university would be better served by a shift in policy to tenure more younger faculty members on the fast track and fewer professors from elsewhere who are at or near the peak of their careers (and thus about to head downhill).
		Many Harvard faculty members were reportedly dismayed, and even outraged, by the substance of the president's questions.
		Maybe that's the price the president of a university must pay: to be the target of tough questions, but not the source.
