????大學兄弟會預備會員遭受的欺侮虐待跟世行（World Bank）有關聯嗎？答案是肯定的，而且關系遠比你能想象的大得多。

????最新一期《滾石》雜志（Rolling Stone）刊文，繪聲繪色地描述了前達特茅斯學院（Dartmouth）兄弟會成員安德魯?羅瑟在西格瑪阿爾法愛普西龍（Sigma Alpha Epsilon）兄弟會遭遇的悲慘經歷。文章充斥著令人作嘔的奇聞秘事，比如兄弟會預備會員被迫吞食嘔吐物并互相涂抹嘔吐物。羅瑟將被虐待的經歷向校方告發。這些聳人聽聞的內容不由讓人質疑學校管理團隊背后的人物，也就是達特茅斯學院院長金永吉到底起到了什么作用。

????金永吉是世行（World Bank）行長美國提名候選人，這是無數人夢寐以求的榮耀。他是一位人類學家、內科醫生，是非政府組織“健康伙伴”（Partners in Health）的共同創始人，還曾經擔任世界衛生組織（World Health Organization）艾滋病部門負責人。金永吉的履歷令人印象深刻，但是在達特茅斯學院，以及他最近出版的世行未來展望報告中，他似乎都忘記了一個非常重要的元素，那就是女性。

????《滾石》雜志文章稱，當年，金永吉的前任、前達特茅斯學院院長詹姆斯?萊特希望平息兄弟會風波，并在1998年推行了兄弟姐妹會制度，但此舉遭到來自校友和學生們鋪天蓋地的批評。一年后，萊特不得不做出讓步，推行更為柔和的改革。金永吉在2009年擔任院長不久之后就會見了學院校友。雖然他自己是兄弟姐妹會制度的擁躉，面對兄弟會的欺侮和性騷擾早已天下皆知的情況，他依然“向校友們重申他無意推翻兄弟會制度”。

????他的寬容態度引發人們質疑：如果他連抵制達特茅斯學院兄弟會文化這種小事都做不到，又如何能在國際舞臺上抵制父權文化呢？

????路透社（Reuters）博客作家菲利克斯?薩爾蒙努力修補金永吉漠視兄弟會性虐待事件帶來的公關惡果。但金永吉在女性問題上不明朗的態度仍是問題。三月底，金永吉在《金融時報》（Financial Times）言論版倡導創造一個具有包容精神的世行，但卻對性別問題只字不提。

????女性占據全世界勞動力的40%，但卻僅擁有全世界1%的財富。世行數據顯示，在很多國家，消除女性性別障礙能夠讓每位勞動者的產出提高3%到25%。2008年，高盛集團（Goldman Sachs）分析師指出，女性教育水平每提高一個百分點，GDP平均水平就能提高0.37%，而GDP年增長率能提高0.2%。簡單來說，促進女性經濟發展將會帶來極大的機遇。

????現任世行行長羅伯特?佐利克在2012年世行世界發展報告的視頻中表示：“一切又回歸到最基本的問題。如果占到全世界人口一半的人不能實現自我價值，不能為社會做出貢獻，我們就會喪失重大的發展機遇。重視這個問題的國家將會得到更好的發展。實現性別平等不僅是一件正確的事情，也是發展經濟的明智選擇。”

????美國外交協會（Council on Foreign Relations）會員蓋爾?萊蒙表示，文化常常被用作拒絕為女性提供投資的借口。而有意思的是，金永吉通過接受《滾石》采訪，為自己對達特茅斯學院兄弟會事件的回應辯護，他說：“作為一名人類學家，你學到的一件事情就是，不能介入、改變一種文化?！?/p>

????What does college frat pledge hazing have to do with the World Bank? A whole lot more than you'd think.

????The most recent issue of Rolling Stone includes a colorful, disturbing retelling of former Dartmouth fratboy Andrew Lohse's harrowing experience as a brother at Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Filled with nausea-inducing anecdotes of pledges ingesting and clothing one another in vomit, the profile's sensationalism upstages the role of the man behind the team Lohse reported the hazing to: Dartmouth President Jim Yong Kim.

????Kim is the recipient of the coveted U.S. nomination for World Bank president. An anthropologist, physician, co-founder of NGO Partners in Health, and former director of the Department of H.I.V./AIDS at the World Health Organization, Kim certainly boasts an impressive resume. But at Dartmouth -- and in his recently published vision for the future of the World Bank -- he seems to have forgotten one very important element: women.

????According to the Rolling Stone story, Kim's predecessor at Dartmouth, James Wright, faced immense criticism from alumni and students when, hoping to calm Fraternity Row, he pushed for a coed Greek system in 1998. A year later, Wright waved a white flag and implemented softer reforms. Kim met with Dartmouth alumni shortly after taking office in 2009. A fan of the Greek system, he "reassured them he had no intention of overhauling the fraternities," even though their reputation of hazing and sexual assault was no secret.

????His forgiving attitude then raises the question: If Kim can't stand up to fraternal culture on a tiny New Hampshire campus, how can he stand up to patriarchal culture on a global stage?

????Reuters blogger Felix Salmon scraped at the PR nightmare Kim faces after ignoring the sexual abuse on Dartmouth's Frat Row. But Kim's unclear stance on women's issues just might go deeper. On Wednesday, Kim called for an inclusive World Bank in a Financial Times op-ed; there was not one mention of gender.

????Women make up 40% of the world's labor force, yet they only hold 1% of the world's wealth. And, according to the World Bank, eliminating barriers for women increases output per worker by 3% to 25% across a range of countries. In 2008, Goldman Sachs analysts cited that a 1 percentage point increase in female education raises the average level of GDP by 0.37 percentage points and raises annual GDP growth rates by 0.2 percentage points on average. Put simply, there's huge opportunity in promoting women's economic development.

????"It comes back to the basics. If you've got 50% of the world's population not reaching their personal fulfillment but also not contributing to the societies, we're missing a huge opportunity for development," says current World Bank President Robert Zoellick in a video presenting the World Bank's World Development Report 2012. "Countries that pay attention to these issues do better. Gender equality is not only the right thing to do, but it's smart economics."

????Gayle Lemmon, who is a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, says culture is often used as an excuse for not investing in women. Interestingly enough, Kim defended his response to Dartmouth's frat scene by telling Rolling Stone, "One of the things you learn as an anthropologist, you don't come in and change the culture."????
