‘Sexism’ charges prove bogus

Article here. Excerpt:

'Is Harvard Law School — that liberal Utopia and bastion of political correctness — sexist?

A group of feminist students and alumni thinks so.

In a short film available online, a group calling itself the “Shatter the Ceiling” coalition claims that Harvard Law’s competitive climate is “hostile to women.”

“Hostile?” Maybe. But sexist or hostile to women, in particular? Please.

When I was at HLS in the early 1990s, enormous classes and campus political polarization contributed to a feeling of alienation among male and female students alike. Students were intellectually challenged, but unhappy.

Then came Dean Elena Kagan (now on the U.S. Supreme Court), and much of what made Harvard Law so miserable began to change.

Kagan reduced class size, modernized the curriculum, and dramatically upgraded the infrastructure. Most important, she personally hosted numerous community-building events and made scholars and students of all political perspectives feel welcome. Students were happier.

But although Kagan did much to improve morale, she did not sacrifice rigor. HLS remains a grind. It probably always will be.

Enter “Shatter the Ceiling” and its charges that HLS oppresses women.'
