A
Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor (接任者)to Lawrence Summers.
The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust , a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study ,as the university’ 28th president .
“This is a great day , and a historic day for Harvard,” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. “Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb (一流的)scholar, a dedicated (献身的)teacher , and a wonderful human being.”
Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers’ comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.
Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women’s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues.(性别问题)
