‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
To the Editors of The Crimson:
Both the Boston Globe and The Crimson (11/25/73) recently quoted George Putnam, Treasurer of the University, as saying he was looking for "a top investment policy man with administrative experience" to head the new Harvard Management Company. I believe the University's Affirmative Action Plan and Government regulations require that all positions be open to all qualified candidates irregardless of sex, race, creed, etc. This kind of statement by a top officer of the University clearly demonstrates the continuing insensitivity of the Administration to the spirit necessary for an Affirmative Action Plan which will be acceptable to both minorities and women, as well as to HEW. Equity is not a sometime thing but a matter which must be made evident by thought word and deed, in public and in private, by every single one of us in the University. Perhaps the letter of the law would be easier to achieve if the spirit of it became a part of everyday thinking and speaking. Elizabeth M. Dunn
