Larry Bacow is the president of Tufts University. Barbara Grossman, in addition to being former DNC chair Steven Grossman’s wife, chairs the romance languages department at Tufts. Alan Solomont is a Tufts trustee who occasionally teaches as well (not to mention a huge fundraiser for Democrats).

My sole memory of the JFK assassination (when I was 4) was that I couldn’t watch Bozo, even though I knew it was time for his show, because there was news on all the time.

but I remember him from introducing the classic films on The Great Entertainment, or something like that. Glad to see his still alive and kicking.

Of course, our competitions’ CEOs also signed (Charlie Baker at Harvard Pilgrim and Jim Roosevelt at Tufts), so it’s not really a competitive issue (although I wonder where the right-wingers are going to find their health care coverage).

Am I the only one to notice no Latino names and very, very few people of any color than as white as the driven snow? Is this a concern, or a harbinger of problems, or the result of a class, racial, or regional bias? Or did nobody ask anybody? Is it a result of limited outreach, or, more likely, the result of a broken alliance?
