The Weary Professor Strikes Again

<p>From yesterday's Crimson:</p>

<p>University President Lawrence H. Summers will face a new no-confidence motion at the next full Faculty meeting.</p>

<p>Judith Ryan, who is the Weary professor of German and comparative literature, said tonight that she is placing the motion on the agenda for the Feb. 28 session. Summers lost a similar no-confidence vote last March by a 218-185 margin. </p>

<p>Ryan's 18-word resolution reads: "That the Faculty of Arts and Sciences continues to lack confidence in the leadership of Lawrence H. Summers." </p>

<p>This is getting a little tiresome (pun intended). After wasting most of last year on this nonsense, Professor Ryan wants the faculty to do the same this year, once again shoving aside the now long-overdue consideration of the curricular reform proposals that were made two years ago. Someone should tell the Weary Professor, "Genug!"</p>

<p>The Harvard Crimson has editorialized that it is, in effect, time for these whiners to sit down and shut up.</p>
