Last year, Harvard University welcomed the first female president in its history. In a few months, the university will mark another milestone: the installation of the first black female as dean of Harvard College.

Judith Rodin is not the only female to reach the heights of the Yale University administration, though she was arguably first. Alison Richards of anthropology was Yale provost. Susan Hockfield was both Dean of the Graduate School and Provost.

Let the Yale-Harvard games begin! First black police chief, first hispanic finance director, first one-legged trans gendered and visually impaired president.....the possibilities are endless.

Yippie! Score another one for affirmitive action. I'm just sure there were no qualified whites available (snark).
