I was also very surprised by Mr. Summmers' response. I went to NYU where John Sexton (president of the University) would often be seen in jeans and a sweatshirt. That being said, it was not uncommon for students to be in suits and ties for various functions. I mean, when you're paying >$30k a year, I feel like the idea of wearing a suit to a meeting with someone isn't outlandish.
