Please review[edit]

As of 2016--this editor is not an employee of Berlowitz nor a public relations professional but merely an academic friend of Berlowitz who has known that she did not have a Ph.D. for the past 35 years. Her salary the year that the Globe targets included deferred compensation. Her base salary was about $380-390,000 (check the IRS Form 990 of the Academy for the preceding year); her successor in the job (he is a tall man; she is a short woman) has a base salary of $490,000 (“American Academy of Arts and Sciences picks new president,” by Todd Wallack, Boston Globe, April 17, 2014). Note also that no government or other funding agency has taken any steps against Berlowitz other than those mentioned by the Globe in 2013. A Ph.D. was not on her application for employment at the Academy nor has it been alleged that one was. The reedited paragraph by 666Thrashattack implied that she resigned from NYU. Also fixed today were inconsistencies in style and spelling. User:AxlHinge 20 July 2016 —Preceding undated comment added 20:33, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]


A recent article in the Boston Globe [1] said that this Wikipedia page was written by public relations people in the Academy Ms. Berlowitz is the president of. I note this article as well as this older one [2] both make substantial mention of certain controversies about her presidency and the work environment at the AAAS and the article doesn't mention any of this.

The controversies are now mentioned. The work environment isn't addressed, but I don't think that information is missed. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 00:33, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
