Oh - that was sort of in response to the f marilee attitude that has been coming out from some of the older classes. Many are bringing up the paper and I guess feel vindicated because they disliked her for it.

And the Clinton example is horrible. He lied under oath when specifically questioned about it. She was never asked about it and so any coming forward on her part would have been strictly voluntary and as the years went by became essentially impossible to do. She screwed up, it's true, but it was a mistake from almost 30 years ago that really has no relevance to whether she is capable/qualified for her job (except for the obvious questioning of integrity, but again, 30 years ago and we all see that once done so hard to undo).

It's really gross - and it's unfortunate that it ended up being such a public humiliation since the school felt it needed to cover its ass publically. Many have commented that it would have been much better to let her resign quietly with dignity, but unfortunately that could leave MIT in a tough spot later if someone decided to make a stink. Gross gross gross all around that these steps are necessary because people are douche bags.
