I'm NOT saying appoint me. I'm doing what I can already. But just noting that if you're a famous Harvard professor, track record is no barrier. I doubt a woman and/or a person of color would survive such a track record, even if they managed to get the Harvard brand behind them.

Anyway, I do wish them luck, honestly, because we need them to do the job right. So much depends on it. At a minimum, I hope there is some reflection on why some people were so wrong. Being wrong is normal and reasonable and even helpful as long as one learns from it, and openly.
