I LOLed at "Awards".  It's like they're taking pride that their most famous nutjob is more accomplished than other schools' nutjobs.

Nutjob inflation.  That's only worth 4 life sentences at any other school.
Let's Go RED!

A lot of people are saying that the publication was in poor taste. I disagree; only the publication of the Awards section was. As a comedian I commend Kaczynski for the high-quality trolling but the editors of the update shouldn't have allowed him to sneak in a joke about murdering people.

The Cornell-Sucks rivalry is mentioned on Midtown Badgers's college sports bucket list.

Other than the description of the rivalry, it is interesting how the author recounts college hockey history entirely inaccurately.
Quote from: Andrew CoppensWisconsin fans should be well versed by just how good Cornell can be as they stopped the Badgers hopes of winning yet another national title in 2010 in the NCAA Frozen Four.
I am not sure how he thinks that Cornell made it to the Frozen Four with losing to UNH in the 2010 NCAA East Regional Semifinal. Wisconsin made it to the national title game that year and lost 8-0 to BC. The positive of this error is the implication that Wisconsin has respect for the hockey tradition at Cornell, unlike some programs in the WCHA.

My senior year in that universe would not have been as disappointing either. Unrealized potential.

We beat Wisconsin in the NCAA basketball tournament that year, and somehow the author transformed that memory.

I don't understand.  Why do you have to cheat when you're already guranteed an "A"?

Given the class, cheating is the final exam.

Students said they were tripped up by a course whose tests were confusing, whose grading was inconsistent, and for which the professor and teaching assistants gave contradictory signals about what was expected. They face the possibility of a one-year suspension from Harvard or revocation of their diplomas if they have already graduated, and some said that they will sue the university if any serious punishment is meted out.
Harvard education that teaches practical lessons for life. You can change your destiny if you have counsel.

If Prof. Matthew Platt is not tenured, what is his half-life in Cambridge going to be?
