A member of Harvard's top governing board says he resigned over a proposed raise to university President Lawrence H. Summers, according to a copy of the board member's resignation letter released by the university on Monday.

Harvard Corporation member Conrad K. Harper also cited his dissatisfaction with Summers' leadership, including his controversial comments about women's aptitude for science and math, as a reason for his resignation.
