"A Harvard Business School professor has been placed on leave amid accusations that she fabricated data that underpinned multiple peer-reviewed studies.

Behavioral scientists, including Leif Nelson, analyzed some of the studies co-authored by Harvard professor of business administration Francesca Gino. They found signs that data used in at least three of the studies was fabricated to support the authors’ hypotheses, including data used in a study that has already been retracted.

One of the studies posited that being dishonest could lead to creativity. Participants took part in a virtual coin toss. They could cheat during the coin toss. Participants were then asked to perform two tasks, including saying how newspapers could be used in different ways."

Purdue University President Retires - He Kept Tuition Low. One of the Few

 Salute - Purdue University president retires.

Someone wisecracked that most universities are investment companies with a college attached. The endowments - permanent piggy-banks - keep expanding while the school and tuition grows.

Augustana College in Rock Island now has tuition, board, books, and et-ceteras at $62,000 a year. They also bragged about endowment gifts, not giving the total, which is listed at $166 million.

Yale's endowment is $42 billion.

We met a Notre Dame mother who said her daughter was accepted because the family did not request any tuition help.

Notre Dame annual cost is now at $76,000.

Yale is $80,000 so ND is a bargain!

Grand Canyon University has kept tuition down, in part by becoming non-profit and no longer paying $300 million a year in taxes. They are way below Augustana, Yale, and Notre Dame.

 Sterling is the main library at Yale University. We went to see Roland Bainton there, where he had an office. He helped me with my dissertation and offered to do some xeroxing for me!

 The interior of Sterling boasted one of the largest card catalogs ever. Computers replaced them.

Harvard University's Book on The Literary Guide to the Bible - KJV!

 

 Harvard picked the KJV for its literary guide.

“We have as a rule used the King James Version in translations, and our reasons for doing so must be obvious: it is the version most English readers associated with the literary qualities of the Bible, and it is till arguably the version that best preserves the literary effects of the original languages.”

The Literary Guide to the Bible, edited by Robert Alter and Frank Kermod, Harvard University Press, 1987, p. 7.
