From the Boston Globe, Reed’s most recent President Colin Diver weighs in on the Harvard scandal and how to foster a culture of honor. The takeaway quote:
instilling such a culture requires far more than superficial palliatives: it requires a whole set of interlocking institutional commitments that promote honorable behavior.
Could not agree more (in fact I did on this blog a few days ago).
This is about a lot more than just privileged Harvard students. It’s also about administrators, deans, and faculty at one of the world’s premier institution of higher education (which coincidentally costs more than $50,000 a year to attend and has an endowment over $32 billion) sitting by idly while such the culture of learning becomes so perverted.
