I have no respect for someone who repents only after they are exposed.
Teaching IS a public commitment! He must resign immediately!
Summers has no business in a classroom. His students deserve a teacher who does not view female students as intellectually inferior sex objects.
should he be cancelled??? HE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED!
Summers should take a step back into a jail cell
The moral rot of the most powerful people in America should cause a revolution if nothing else does. A society with no morals is ungovernable except by an immoral dictator.
JVL, hiring Sam Stein was the smartest thing The Bulwark ever did.
Summers was a disaster for the arts and humanities at Harvard. He was and is a bully and widely disliked at Harvard and in academia in general.
It is an abuse of trust with respect to students and a professor. Don’t minimize the conduct.
I'm honestly so tired of people saying "I don't see anything illegal here." How about just morally bankrupt. These are supposed to be the "leaders" of your country. Hold them to a higher standard.
