• U.S. ; --Implications for the Country, Leclairryan's Robert B. In Opinion Piece for the Chronicle of Higher Education.

BOSTON, Oct. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- If the United States simply accepts that males will continue to lag behind their female counterparts in academic interest and performance--a gap that continues to widen according to the latest Census Bureau data--the consequences will be profound, not only for the so-called "lost boys" themselves, but for American society and higher education in general, veteran LeClairRyan attorney Robert B. Smith asserts in an opinion piece published Oct. 2 by The Chronicle of Higher Education. This is no abstract issue," writes Smith, a Boston-based partner in the national law firm and head of its Education Industry Team.

• Investigating the Dean

In a February column in Northwestern University's daily newspaper, the Daily Northwestern, Medill School of Journalism senior David Spett, 22, took less than 500 words to outline his suspicions that the school's dean, John Lavine, had used fabricated quotes (attributed to an unnamed student) to promote one of the school's courses in an alumni magazine.

Except this one comes from an unlikely source: the Chronicle of Higher Education. The Chronicle recently released a survey of the compensation packages available at 185 public universities.
