In January of 2005, Harvard President Lawrence Summers delivered a
speech where he speculated about the causes of the disparity in
professional achievements between men and women in
science/engineering. The speech provoked a firestorm of critical
comments, particularly in academia, but also in the general media.

I have written an essay in response to Summers' critics. The gist of
the essay is not to take a stand on Summers' hypotheses per se, but
rather to support and promote the free expression of ideas in general.

Fair Disclosure: The site is a partly commercial site which promotes
my book, Spying On The College Of Your Choice. However, the content
of the essay is "on topic" in terms of addressing the ethical issues
behind both Summers' speech and the response it received.

I would welcome feedback from readers. You can find my e-mail address
by poking around the Web site.
