They would have done whatever it took to avoid a public news story that would have triggered awkward questions during the next prospective student weekend. I admit I was toying with the idea, and the prospect of getting an MS in the mail if I played ball and didn't make trouble on my way out was what convinced me not to do it. A person who feels they have nothing to lose is a scary thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-41641215198638436042016-08-30T19:25:06.794-04:002016-08-30T19:25:06.794-04:00Huh, good catch.
