peculation

After Bacow was mentioned in the "Chronicle of Higher Education" in 2006 as a possible candidate to succeed Lawrence Summers as president of Harvard University, Bacow categorically denied interest in the position, saying, "I took this job [Tufts] expecting it to be my last. I still do." [McAnerney, Kelly.
