It is clear from the passage that the Harvard President's remarks on gender difference ----.

In his three-and-a-half years in the job, the
President of Harvard University seems to have
upset a large number of people. First, he said
students were getting too many "A" grades
because of grade inflation, {which was correct).
Then he attacked a professor on account of his
extra-curricular activities. Now he has suggested
that one of the reasons women achieve less in
science and maths is that they have less innate
ability. The President's -comments were off the
record; but he has since confirmed that he did
draw attention to the possibility that innate
differences, rather than social factors, such as
education and treatment in the workplace, might
have a rote to play. This has resulted in a great
deal of violent criticism from many quarters. But,
scientifically speaking is he correct?
