HERE’S A PROFILE OF LARRY SUMMERS from tomorrow’s New York Times. Excerpt:

In general, I found that with the exception of the ideologically driven, almost every student who has actually had contact with Summers has come away liking him. Summers’s indifference to propriety was bracing for students wearily accustomed to the agonized sensitivity that has more or less become semiofficial campus culture.

Summers is less popular with the faculty, whose devotion to the ideological correctness of past decades is increasingly out of step with the sentiments of today’s students.
