Another Harvard scholar to join Obama team

By Globe Staff

The Harvard mafia continues to grow in the incoming Obama administration.

Cass Sunstein, a prominent legal scholar who recently joined the faculty at Harvard law school, will be the president-elect's czar of government regulation, the Washington Post is reporting.

As administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein will oversee regulatory reform in environmental, healthcare, and other policy, the Post says.

Among the more prominent Harvard people already on board is the university's former president, Lawrence Summers, who will be Obama's top economic policy adviser. Barack Obama, of course, is a Harvard Law grad.
