shufitzFeasibility
Lawrence Summers, resigning as president of Harvard University, stated, "I have reluctantly concluded" that schisms "make it infeasible for me to advance the agenda of renewal that I see as crucial."
Far be it from me to question the president of Harvard, but I had thought the word was "unfeasible". Is there any nuance of distinction between
infeasible and
unfeasible?

KallehWe might have to ask Larry, but from my investigation they seem to mean exactly the same thing..."not capable of being carried out."

zmježdThe suffix
un is a more anglic one, and
in- a more latinate one. That being said, I'd prefer
in-. Goes better with
feasible.
