To Jane ... three factors to disparity

Jane,

I have the original of Summers' 'working lunch' talk here, as main entry and as a comment to the main entry:

Please note in the original that Summers attributed the disparity in Ivy League tenure to three factors: lifestyle issues, discrimination, and possible disparity in the very TOP END of the bell curve (balanced by the opposite disparity at the LOW END which is not relevant to Ivy League tenure).


Relevant link to Harvard Crimson article comparing transcript to tape of Jan 14 talk.http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=505787


More later on all this.
