"Many of those who replied to the Task Force observed that HIID had not effectively linked its activities with other parts of Harvard," the report notes.
Fineberg's task force, chaired by Associate Provost Dennis F. Thompson, also included former HIID director Dwight H. Perkins, Whitehead Center for International Affairs director Jorge I. Dominguez, and Program on Technology and Economic Policy director Dale W. Jorgenson.
Many members of HIID's staff discussed the report with Thompson, Perkins and interim HIID director Richard B. Pagett in meetings held during the first week of January.
At one meeting, Thompson said the task force found the institute's activities "disproportionate and insufficiently integrated into the University's core functions of teaching and research."
While the task force focused on the gradual breakdown between HIID and teaching and research in Cambridge, HIID has had far more public problems in recent years.
