Harvard Law School denies tenure to Morgan Shipman, and some people are seeing unfair prejudice:
"A lot of students think the Faculty vetoed Shipman because he didn't fit in. [Richard M. Sims 3L] explained. "He's a Texan, large, a little clumsy, and he speaks with a drawl. He's not polished--everyone else around here is polished--but he's a good teacher and very receptive to students. He keeps his door open to students."
THE YEAR THAT BLOG FORGOT IS: 1968.

And in 2003, Grateful Students Initiate Scholarship to Honor Professor Shipman.
Some things never change in the Ivy League. Still it is good to know they were discriminating against beige (presumably gentile) Americans along with their Jewish colleagues.

Being a clunky and graceless person, I was curious as to his looks and general manner. The above mentioned link provides a video discussing the Enron and other high-tech busted stocks. Shipman's presentation is about 33 minutes into the vid. Initially appears uncomfortable in his skin, has a distinct accent and speaking style but is funny and down-to-earth.
Maybe Harvard thought he was a good ole boy Texas Republican. Anyway in '04 and '08 he donated to the DNC/Clinton
I had Shipman as my corporations professor at NYU in the early 80s. He was the only professor that I had to write everything down in the hope of figuring it out later. I could not understand him in real time.
