The Stanford Daily reports upon Caroline and Blair Hoxbys' decision to leave Harvard for Stanford.

“Stanford and other universities have strong leaders and they’re moving forward,” she said. “It’s hard for Harvard to move ahead if they’re in constant crisis mode.”

Meanwhile, Hoxby elaborated on the controversy she was once embroiled in, and the Crimson's report that she had criticized her critic by playing the race card.

In an interview with The Daily, Hoxby firmly denied ever making the controversial remarks, saying that the “inexperienced reporter at the time,” Javier Hernandez, had made a mistake.

“The reporter made that up or attributed someone else’s quote to me,” she said.

“That’s not my style,” Hoxby added. She also said that she disputed the quote with The Crimson in a letter to the editor and that the newspaper subsequently ran a correction.
