Not Your Typical Harvard Professor

Opinion Journal reports on Harvard's Harvey Mansfield:

his combat with campus liberal orthodoxy that has brought him a more public profile. To drive home his crusade against grade inflation, he began giving students a real grade (what he actually thinks of their work) and an "ironic grade" (which goes to the registrar). More controversially, Mr. Mansfield argues that grade inflation is the result of the university's affirmative-action program--admitting too many underqualified minority students and then not wanting to give them poor marks.

Anyone trying to get tenure at Harvard now,knows better than to express these sorts of thoughts.There is only one Harvey Mansfield at Harvard.Actually one would struggle to find another at any major political science department.
