The Plot Thickens

The bizarre cheating scandal at Harvard.

This is going to be fun to watch.  My favorite bit:

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.
If you want to understand the elite dysfunction in America, watching how this plays out will highly instructive. Everyone will point fingers. No one will take responsibility. People on all sides will threaten, harass, lie, and try to intimidate to get their way. All involved will come out looking like horrendous spoiled little children, and not a single person will suffer any sort of harmful punishment. This is how we resolve things at the top. I love how everyone feels justified in cheating because the class was supposed to be easy and it turned out to be hard. Brilliant!!!
