Abstract

Harvard University has appointed John Manning, a conservative lawyer and scholar of federal courts and administrative law, as its permanent provost. Manning, who has a background in the Justice Department and clerkships with US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Judge Robert Bork, will oversee academic policies at the university. This appointment comes as Harvard has been undergoing leadership changes and facing scrutiny from Congress. Manning's conservative stance and background are seen as a departure from the prevailing liberal perspective at Harvard, according to professor Steven Pinker. [Extracted from the article]
