Geller says she feels that she is running out of options. She's spent 20 years in the Boston area, and at her age she says she can't really move to another school.
Geller says many friends and colleagues, including the presidents of other universities, have interceded with the College on her behalf--all to no avail.
She recently decided to go public with her grievances in the hope that the University would improve its treatment of women faculty members.
Geller gave an interview to Continental Airlines' in-flight magazine about a year and a half ago, and another to Science magazine which will be published in November.
"I feel the truth doesn't hurt me, it only reflects badly on the University," she says.
"The actions of the University in my case make it abundantly clear that the Administration's rhetoric about Harvard's desire to attract and retain the most distinguished women in the world is empty," she says.
Geller says she "can't really find any other explanation" for her treatment then the fact that she's a woman.
"I don't really know why I've been treated differently," she says.
