She's still rockin that hairstyle from 3rd grade.
She ain’t got no kulcha.
Is Maya Sen going to apologize?

All these racist, stereotyping, and ad hominem attacks are disgusting. They also miss the main point, which is this person's lack of scholarly credential adequate to their current position (and, indeed, make it seem like a concern about substance traffics in such nastiness, which it need not.)

With that attitude you’re going to become a paratha in academia.

HKS is a separate school and does indeed have much lower tenure standards than the Gov department. But certainly not as low as to tenure someone with Sen's record. Even factoring in strong the affirmative action pressures and the toxic influence of GK and JH, there is simply no discernible set of ideas and findings that are her own, and she is clearly a freerider in all projects. Worse yet, even if you give her 100% credit for all coauthored work, the work itself (especially the Deep Roots agenda) is of such poor quality that tenure denial would be the only logical conclusion.
"Of course that doesn't excuse Harvard from having tenured an utterly incompetent person merely on the basis of a combination of freeriding and playing the diversity card."
I have heard that tenure standards at the Kennedy School are a good deal lower than for the Harvard government department. Is this true, and if so why? -

I have heard that tenure standards at the Kennedy School are a good deal lower than for the Harvard government department. Is this true, and if so why?OK, that was quite a rant. But I'd still like to know WHY tenure standards at HKS are so much lower than for the Harvard government department. Is this unique to Harvard, or is it the norm at other universities with both political science departments and policy/public affairs schools? For example, is the bar for tenure at SIPA, SAIS, and Elliott way lower than the bar for tenure at the political science departments of Columbia, Johns Hopkins, and George Washington?
