Arr, mateys! Young lass Sally Kornbluth, a fresh face at M.I.T., did not raise as much ire as them scurvy dogs from Harvard and Penn after the recent congress meetin'.
In the language of a 17th century pirate, me hearties, let me spin ye a tale of Dr. Sally Kornbluth, a lass who be new to M.I.T. By all accounts, she be a clever one, but she's been fortunate enough to avoid the cannons and muskets that be fired upon her counterparts at Harvard and Penn after a recent congressional hearing, arrr!Now, ye may be wonderin' why a fine lady like Sally be facin' such scrutiny. Well, it be all about the treasure, me mateys. These universities be havin' endowments worth more gold doubloons than ye could count in a lifetime! And the scallywags in Congress be lookin' to see if these institutions be usin' their wealth for the greater good, or if they be hoardin' it all for themselves.
Harvard and Penn, they be takin' a beatin' at that congressional hearing, with accusations flyin' like cannonballs. But ye see, Dr. Kornbluth be a crafty one. She be keepin' her head down, makin' no waves. She be a new recruit to M.I.T., and the pirates in Congress be too busy swingin' their swords at bigger targets to notice her just yet.
But let it be known, me hearties, that Dr. Kornbluth be no stranger to controversy. Back in her days at Duke University, she be caught up in a storm of scandal, accusin' some scurvy dogs of cheatin' and misbehavin'. She be a feisty one, that be for sure.
So for now, Dr. Kornbluth be sailin' smooth waters at M.I.T. while Harvard and Penn be battlin' the tempest. But mark me words, mateys, trouble be never far away in these treacherous seas. Who knows when the cannons be aimed at her ship, ready to fire?
