<p>Did you guys hear about the president of Harvard saying that women are not as good as men at science?! what a jerk. There is an irony.... so much for Harvard's attempts to be progressive and modern. I've lost a lot of respect for the school, I'm watching Lou Dobbs right now they are ripping this guy down, rightfully so , I'd say.</p>
<p>old news...</p>
<p>yeah I know it happened awhile ago, but I haven't been on CC for awhile so I didn't know if it had been talked about. sorry to conjure it up... still he is as much of a jerk now as he was before.</p>
<p>I like Lou Dobbs. he's the only news person that seems to care about corporate scandals, outsourcing and the demon that is WalMart.</p>
<p>that's right I love him too</p>
<p>"Did you guys hear about the president of Harvard saying that women are not as good as men at science?!"</p>
<p>Actually, he quite didn't say that. Here are his remarks.</p>
<p>i don't exactly agree with his views (goodness i know a genius girl applying as an astrophysics major at Harvard LoL) but i don't think he should be fired over his statements. the man has every right to his opinions.</p>
<p>my goodness, the man only suggested that there may be inherent differences between men and women, and that as a possible reason for why science and technology fields are largely populated by men. Certainly there are exceptions to the rule, but overall there is a large gap, and who knows he might have something. In my AP Physics class there are 2 girls and 20 boys. People just rush to judgement and call him a sexist jerk who should shut up and be fired. Meanwhile Ward Churchill calls the victims of 9/11 Little Eichmanns and is used as the paragon of free speech.</p>
