Right, because the standard penalty for trespass onto campus property is a federal indictment. Good thing no MIT student has ever snuck into a restricted area before.
- cube13 15y agoOnly he's a fellow at Harvard, not an MIT student or faculty. So no, they couldn't handle this internally. Possibly with the local police, but that may have been what caused it to escalate.
- rhizome 15y agoEvidently you're unaware of MIT's history of pranks.
- qq66 15y agoEven with MIT's charitable (but declining) tolerance towards student hacking/pranking, they take a very dim view of non-students doing the same (even alumni).
- _delirium 15y agoThere used to be considerable tolerance of Harvard students doing pranks at MIT also, since Harvard/MIT had a bit of a prank-exchange rivalry (though MIT students engaging in shenanigans on the Harvard campus is more common than vice-versa).
- wiredfool 15y agoI believe that the storytelling after breaking and entering is an important part of it. While I'm no MIT student, I have seen the tomb of the unknown tool. (Though, at the time, I was accompanying a bunch of MIT students).
