Doctors Without Borders is deeply disappointed to see #Canada’s cuts to aid reflected in its reduced pledge to the #GlobalFund.
Such cuts will fuel the reversal of progress in the fight against HIV, TB and malaria.

Summers should choose the most straightforward path and resign. Should he refuse to, though, the University must cut ties with its former president to the greatest extent possible.

Being friends with Epstein is not a fireable offense or else Dershowitz would have been gone a long time ago. Thinking women are inferior is not a fireable offense. Developing a romantic relationship with a junior colleague isn’t a fireable offense. But what Summers was *doing* is sexual harassment.
He was attempting to extort sex from a junior colleague, which is a breach of professional ethics. It’s pretty hard to get a professor fired for abhorrent views. Abhorrent conduct is marginally more likely (though Harvard has a long history of sweeping harassment under the rug).

It is a moral failure dressed up as fiscal responsibility. If we take away the abstract language and political doublespeak, Canadians may find the human cost of these cuts too
