Interesting choice for such an academic powerhouse such as MIT.
- 3dFlatLander 16y agoHis wiki page indicates he's a "doctoral candidate in Business Administration." Also interesting, it seems he's a godson of Timothy Learys.

- omnivore 16y agoHe still never finished an undergraduate degree. He dropped out of Tufts and U. Chicago.
- _delirium 16y agoTrue, but his new job won't have much to do with undergraduate degrees; the Media Lab is a research-only lab that doesn't have an undergraduate program (some of the profs do also teach in MIT's undergraduate programs, but in that capacity they'll report to someone other than Ito).
