The real question is (snip) will those who want Harvard to continue as a respected, if deeply flawed, intellectual institution–a group that no doubt includes many professors–be able to use the opportunity to blunt the Corporation’s intended transformation?

There is nothing quite so convincing as signals sent by the marketplace. Folks "voting with their feet," taking their patronage elsewhere. It has humbled some very proud organizations, think Budweiser and Disney.
