Sure, academia often seems like a world unto itself. But with the announcement that historian Drew Gilpin Faust will be the next president of Harvard, women now account for a full 50 percent of Ivy League presidents (the others are Brown's Ruth Simmons, Penn's Amy Gutmann, and Princeton's Shirley Tilghman). That's called parity, and it's truly remarkable in a country where only 16 percent of the Congress is female, only 9 states are led by women, and only 10 Fortune 500 companies have female CEOs.
So thanks to Faust, Simmons, Gutmann, and Tilghman for proving this is bunk.
