However, the initiative that was announced yesterday in Boston has no similar Cambridge counterpart. And University officials say the planned Cambridge announcement on Monday is unrelated.
"What really distresses me is if the Summer Academy is sort of looked at as a consolation prize in a contest between Boston and Cambridge," Grogan said. "I don't want [Galluccio] to feel, anyone to feel, anyone to misinterpret this as throwing a little bone to Cambridge while we're doing something big in Boston."
Making the Announcement
But on Tuesday, planning decisions by Harvard administrators left Cambridge Mayor Galluccio saying he wanted the entire announcement put on hold.
The plan was for a dinner with the mayor at the Harvard Faculty Club, followed by a GSE professor's speech on current issues in education.
This set-up--which was centered around the University rather than the city--was described by Galluccio as "completely inappropriate."
"I wanted to make sure all the city elected officials would be involved because the elected bodies of the city have been very clear about their will to see Harvard engage in more partnerships," he said.
