David Kaiser is a war historian, sabermetrics enthusiast and a perennial thorn in the side of his alma mater, Harvard University.
Kaiser leads a group from the class of 1969 that has pushed Harvard to defend why it pays more than any other university for staff overseeing its $32.7 billion endowment. The group includes academics, an artist, a pastor and two lawyers -- all tracing their activism to anti-war protests that defined their college experience. Some members are gathering for the class’s 45th reunion, which begins today in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
