Endless Summers

Interesting discussion on Harvard Professor Greg Mankiw's blog about the UC Regents' decision to uninvite Larry Summers to speak at their dinner Wednesday night. It is funny how a decision never to invite Summers, based on the same complaints against him, would not have been notable, but to back away from an invite that already has been issued becomes a much bigger thing. And here is the story from the Davis Enterprise describing reaction to the decision from one of the Davis professors who led the petition drive.

Meanwhile, Chemerinsky is back as dean of the fledgling UC Irvine law school...

...and Stanford faculty are protesting Rummy's appointment at the Hoover Institution. Somehow I don't see the Hoover folks caving.
