CAMBRIDGE — Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow, whose time at the helm of the elite institution has been defined by both her fund-raising acumen and an at-times uneasy relationship with campus social justice activists, will be stepping down from her post at the conclusion of the academic year.
In a letter to the law school community, Minow described her eight years leading Harvard Law as "an extraordinary honor and opportunity for daily learning" — although Minow stressed that she will remain on the school's faculty.
