The Crimson is to be commended for its efforts to publicly discuss and resolve the censure of its president, Ira E. Stoll. Such openness about internal controversies is extremely rare in the larger world of American journalism. It's refreshing and laudable that the Crimson's staff recognizes all of the significant responsibilities that go along with the significant power media institutions wield.

I do not think the breach of civility and of institutional leadership he has acknowledged, as serious as it is, should be used to deprive The Crimson and the Harvard community of his services. Lee A.
