• The Boston Globe: "Free Speech at Harvard," by Scot Lehigh:

ONE OF THE elections I'm fascinated with this year is for ... Harvard's Board of Overseers.

Why, you say, should we non-Harvard types care about an election for the lesser of Harvard's two governing boards? Because two outspoken candidates are trying to storm the gates, arguing that the storied university needs to embrace free speech unambiguously, reform its disciplinary procedures, and focus more on its students.

And because what happens at Harvard doesn't stay at Harvard, but rather reverberates throughout the academic world.
