I am not sure how long Harvard has had its unprincipled position of hiring bright newly-minted PhDs, assigning them a ton of work, and then denying them tenure due to "insufficient published work"...It is my understanding that most tenured faculty does not earn tenure, but is hired into a tenured position.
Further, mention must be made of an even more grievous failing -- that of joining in the witch hunts of the McCarthy period, while giving lip service to academic freedom (see, e.g., the story of their shameful treatment of Ray Ginger). --Jose Ramos 07:14, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)
According to two different authors in the October 2004 issue of MR (V. 56 No.5) Sweezy went for tenure at Harvard with major support from Joseph Schumpeter his good friend and the leading American conservative economist of the day. The tenure was denied for ideological reasons in spite of Schumpeters arguments for intellectual and academic diversity. They may not have tenure there now with the same system but this it 70 years ago. TMNolan 16:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Then again, Harvard also denied tenure to Paul Samuelson, who was also a student of Schumpeter, and who, likewise, had Schumpeter's strong support. In Samuelson's case, it apparently was his Jewishness that was at issue. In those days, being a Jew was almost as bad as being red in terms of its likely consequences for winning tenure at Harvard. Now a days, Harvard doesn't discriminate against Jews, but they still don't like to grant tenure to reds. JimFarm (talk) 02:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
of course these two articles should be merged. They concern the same person, don't they? Hmains 22:25, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
