Greetings! I appreciated your article on 'Plagiarism and Gonzalezism' and
agree with much of what you said. While the problems described are
scarcely exclusive to Harvard, my university (and other high profile
schools) have a special obligation not to sweep issues of plagiarism under
the rug. I regret the failure of our President and other University
leaders to 'step up to the plate.'

With best wishes.
