Lawrence Summers, president emeritus of Harvard University, will be honored with an outstanding education award this weekend for his long reputation of defending rigorous academics, advocating for free speech, and attempting to steer modern universities back to their “truth-seeking” mission. The Philip Merrill Award for Outstanding Contributions to Liberal Arts Education comes from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni as part of its 30th anniversary celebration Friday in Washington, D.C. The award recognizes his outstanding contributions to higher education, particularly his commitment to academic rigor and expanding access to quality education.
