During a recent appearance on CNN’s “AC360,” Harvard Professor and President Emeritus Larry Summers called for thorough investigations into the funding sources behind the recent protests on college campuses. He also urged for a reevaluation of university governance, criticizing trustees for being too passive in overseeing issues such as faculty behavior and tenure rules. Summers emphasized the need for greater accountability in how protest efforts are financed and suggested that trustees need to take a more active role in governing universities. This call for introspection and scrutiny comes in light of concerns about the transparency and effectiveness of university leadership in addressing contentious issues on campus.
