Post by the subject of the article, moved from the top of the page[edit]

Acting as a representative of Tufts University and the subject of this entry, I wanted to point out an updated bio page with additional information that may be beneficial to this entry:

Removed "most respected" line[edit]

Bacow was called "perhaps the most respected university president in the country" by someone receiving an honorary degree from Larry Bacow. (reference link was this: http://now.tufts.edu/commencement-2011/commencement-address-charles-m-vest). That's not a sufficient justification to put the line in his bio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.112.8.14 (talk) 20:08, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Harvard Section[edit]

This section is nothing like neutral, it consists almost wholly of accounts written by someone who supports the divestment campaign. I do , too, but thtat's beside the point.

The section on Harvard's investments was unsourced and factually incorrect.
