Controversy surrounded the resignation of President Lawrence Summers on June 30, 2006, following the outcry of criticism for comments he made about the causes of gender demographics in academia. Despite this blip Harvard retains its status as one of the world's premier centers of higher education. Harvard was founded in 1636 and is the oldest institute of higher learning in the United States of America. A faculty of 2,300 professors tutors 6,650 undergrad and 13,000 grad students. Its financial endowment numbered 36 billion dollars in 2015, the largest of any academic institution in the world.
