On CNN’s “AC360” broadcast Monday, Larry Summers, professor emeritus and former president of Harvard University, called for a “thorough investigation” into the sources of funding for recent campus protests and changes at the university. He called for a “thorough investigation” into the matter. Because “the trustees, who are life trustees, and they make the rules about tenure and everything else, were far too passive in what happened.”
Summers said, “Just as anyone on a college campus is expected to be accountable when they receive outside funding for their activities, these protests “I think there needs to be a thorough investigation into how it’s being funded.”
After criticizing the actions of some faculty members and saying there was a lack of accountability for the actions of some faculty members, Summers said: And my own feeling is that the trustees, the ultimate trustees who set the rules for tenure and everything else, were far too passive in this episode. ”
