the shut up award.
did you hear about harvard's super-chump president?
he claims that: "...innate differences between the sexes could help explain why fewer women succeed in science and math careers....[and] also questioned how great a role discrimination plays in keeping female scientists and engineers from advancing at elite universities."
and though he refutes any pernicious intent, he won't release the transcript or recording so we can hear him in all his glory.
clearly sexism and misogyny is alive and kicking at our nation's number one college, which by the way, in light of this news, not surprisingly nurtured w. i urge you to write an email and tell him how you feel. he so deserves the "shut up award."
