Harvard’s Cornel West *80 "will soon decide whether to return to Princeton," reported the New York Times last week. Mired in a feud with Harvard’s new president, Lawrence Summers, West, who has cancer, is on leave from Harvard. On April 2, an administrative assistant in Princeton’s African-American studies program inadvertently told an Associated Press reporter that West was accepting a position at Princeton. But the associate director of the program, Noliwe Rooks, later told a Daily Princetonian reporter that the statement "was just a mistake." The African-American studies program had prepared a statement in case West was hired, Rooks said.

Harvard professor discusses living-wage issues
By Melissa Harvis Renny ’03
One year ago, a group of Harvard University students staged a 21-day sit-in to demand that the university pay a minimum wage of $10.25 per hour to all its employees. They attracted the attention of the media and the administration as they rallied around Harvard’s lowest paid employees.
Because of these students, the Harvard Committee of Employment and Contracting was formed, headed by Professor of Economics Lawrence Katz. Under Katz, the committee examined Harvard’s labor practices and determined many of them should be changed. Today, the minimum wage for Harvard employees is $11.35 per hour.
"I think that this case study will clearly show an example that while market forces are quite important in setting wages, things like management policy, union strength and negotiating tactics and political pressure, especially on a non-profit organization will have a big impact on the labor structure," Katz said in a lecture at the Woodrow Wilson School on Monday, April 8.
Katz spoke of the custodians, security guards, and dining services workers as the lowest paid members of the Harvard University community. He explained that in the past, Harvard had only hired in-house employees – employees contracted by the university and paid a certain flat rate – to fill these positions, but as the university realized they could cut costs by outsourcing – hiring employees from outside the university for less – they began to practice outsourcing more frequently.
Due to this outsourcing, he said, Harvard’s standard wages dropped, and there was a demographic shift in employees from non-immigrant high school graduates to largely immigrant non-educated employees. Katz spoke of museum security guards guarding $8-$10 billion of art who were paid only $8-$10 per hour. He claimed that before outsourcing, these guards were people who loved art and took an interest in the museum, while after outsourcing the turnover rate for these guards was so high that they weren’t considered trustworthy enough to be given a library card.
"Why in the case of janitors and security guards is playing hardball so important?" He asked, noting that at prestigious universities faculty is paid much higher than average wages, while janitors and security guards are often paid less than average.
Katz’s discussed that an in-house monopoly with no outsourcing was not the answer to the university’s problems, because often employers were dissatisfied with the quality of work if there was no competition. However, he said, unrestricted outsourcing brought down wages. As a compromise, the Committee suggested that Harvard use parity wages – a set wage paid to both outsourced employees and in-house employees.
Katz’s committee also recommended that Harvard make immediate initial wage increases, improve the quality of work life, and increase the transparency of employment and contracting practices.
Although implementing these changes will by costly, Katz claimed that in the case of non-profit institutions like Harvard, it is beneficial to keep employees satisfied with their jobs.
Katz also encouraged student activists to be media savvy and learn all they can about the university’s wage policies. He emphasized that students with the right information can effect change.
"I have little doubt that without the students there wouldn’t have been any great change in wages," he said.

On April 3, students gathered in front of the Frist Campus Center to voice their views on the Israel-Palestine conflict. The Prince reported that the Princeton Committee on Palestine held a protest against Israeli occupation, while another group of students held a pro-Israel counter-protest.

Some Princeton students have started a new campaign to encourage the university to sell its investments in companies doing business in Israel, reported the Daily Princetonian.

The Admissions office mailed its "YES!" letters to prospective members of the Class of 2006. "More than 14,500 students applied to the university this year, a 1.4 percent increase" from last year, reported the Prince.

Two Princeton juniors have been named 2002 Truman Scholars by the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation. Rebecca Gifford and Daniel Pastor are among 64 students from 54 U.S. colleges and universities selected this year. The award recognizes their leadership potential, intellectual ability, and likelihood of "making a difference." Each scholarship provides $30,000 — $3,000 for the senior year and $27,000 for graduate school in preparation for a career in government or elsewhere in public service.
Gifford, a Woodrow Wilson School major, intends to pursue a joint graduate degree program in law and public policy, focusing on issues of education, health, and labor in urban areas. Eventually, she hopes to work on education and social policy reform in a school, nonprofit organization or government agency. Pastor, a politics major, plans to earn a master of public affairs in international relations at a Latin American university and a doctoral degree in political science, focusing on the 20th-century economic and political history of Latin America and U.S. involvement in its affairs. Ultimately, he hopes to pursue a career with the State Department in the foreign service.

The American Society for Microbiology has awarded Princeton biologist Thomas Silhavy its 2002 Graduate Microbiology Teaching Award. The society cited Silhavy for his "exceptional teaching and mentoring" both at Princeton and at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, where he taught from 1981 to 1985. Silhavy, who holds the Warner-Lambert Parke-Davis Professorship of Molecular Biology, teaches Prokaryotic Molecular Biology, a required course for first-year graduate students in the department.The Princeton University Art Museum launched its new Web site, princetonartmuseum.org, on April 1. In addition to general information about the museum and its educational resources, the site includes easily accessible information about the museum’s collections, exhibitions, programs and publications.

The student-run Princeton Charity Fashion Show will take place April 25 on the Frist lawn at 8 p.m. The show, organized largely by members of the Class of 2005, will include fashion from 10 major designers and performances by student dance and singing groups. Any funds raised are designated for cancer research. Also helping with the show are the student groups Princeton Against Cancer Together (PACT) and the Asian-American Student Agency (AASA). Ticket prices are $7 for students and members of the classes of 1980 and 1955, the Class of 2005's parent and grandparent classes, and $10 for general admission.

A group of students with the Princeton Justice Program and the Student Global AIDS Campaign are engaged in an effort called NEXT, Needle Exchange Today!, which seeks to have a bill passed in the New Jersey state legislature that would implement needle-exchange programs throughout the state. Robin Williams ’04, the director of NEXT, says the group began last fall and have taught workshops at a national conference on needle exchange and testified recently at the state capitol in Trenton. Future plans include meeting with Governor McGreevey and other lawmakers. For more information, email him at awiliam@princeton.edu

Barton Gellman ’82, an investigative reporter for the Washington Post and the Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton, was part of a Washington Post team to win the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting for its coverage of September 11 and the war on terrorism.

Arminio Fraga *85, who took over as Brazil’s central bank governor in 1999, was named "Man of the Year" by LatinFinance. "Arminio Fraga has preserved financial stability in Brazil and in Latin America during a particularly tumultuous period. His decisiveness, ability to read the market and political skills have held down inflation and kept Brazil growing," stated the publication.

Larry Lucchino ’67, who played basketball at Princeton, became the president of the Red Sox and will be responsible for running the day-to-day operations of the franchise.

Joseph S. Nye, Jr. ’58’s book, The Paradox of American Power: Why the World’s Only Superpower Can’t Go It Alone published in January by Oxford University Press, has received good reviews. The Boston Globe called Nye "one of the more prescient thinkers on the role of the United States in a change world."

A former managing director of the World Bank, Jessica P. Einhorn *74 has been named dean of the Paul N. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of The Johns Hopkins University. She will start June 1.

Jill Sigman’89 *96’s new solo concert "Vision Begins," a multimedia dance/theater work, received good reviews in the Village Voice and the New York Times, which called it a "feisty, funny, and at times hauntingly sad new piece. In the end, the solo is not just about what feminism gave and took away from her generation but also about a kind of wacky heartfelt idealism that seems no longer to exist." Sigman performed "Vision Begins" in March at the Williamsburg Art Nexus in Brooklyn, New York.

Mark Shapiro ’89, who joined the Cleveland Indians in 1992 as an assistant in the team’s baseball operations department, starts his first seasons as the Indians’ executive vice-president and general manager.

Noel Hinners *63, who retired in January as vice-president of flight systems for Lockheed Martin Astronautics, will received a lifetime achievement award from Aviation Week and Space Technology in Washington on April 16.

Wesley L. Harris *68’s wife gave him something special for his 60th birthday last fall: she established the Wesley L. Harris Scholarship Fund for MITE2S (Minority Introduction to Engineering, Entrepreneurship and Science), a summer program at MIT, where Harris teaches, for underrepresented minority high school students.

Laura Vanderkam ’01, a Collegiate Network intern at USA Today, wrote an essay suggesting that the college binge-drinking problem is overstated. She wrote, "But before we ban fun, this ‘drinking problem’ needs a closer look. My friends and I didn’t get in trouble with the law. We didn’t drink and drive. Our binge drinking was such a crisis that we had to settle for A averages and good jobs after graduation. In other words, not much of a problem at all. The worst that happened to most of us because of drinking was a hangover. "But that doesn’t matter to the army of busybodies intent on finding fault with student alcohol consumption. Certainly some students, like some adults, have problems with substance abuse. But the scope of the problem is much more limited than the alarmists lead people to believe."

John McPhee ’53, Princeton’s Ferris Professor of Journalism, can be heard April 23 in the PBS television special, America’s First River. McPhee provides the voice of Washington Irving and will read excerpts from Irving’s work. "Irving is one of my all-time favorite writers," says McPhee, "as fresh and topical today as he was in 1819. He is so sharp and funny, and the rhythms of his writing go across time." The two-hour program tells the story of the beginnings of America’s environmental awakening, which took place in the Hudson River Valley. Hosted by Bill Moyers, America’s First River was directed and coproduced by Monica Lange s’76.
