The administration has been a lot more fucked up recently. Current student wisdom blames it on Columbo, who came from Columbia, and seems to have brought a lot of his shitty policies with him. Nightline has been shut down, medical isn't 24/7 anymore, dorm culture is under attack, etc.
- nugget 12y agoSorry to hear that. I don't know Columbo but I just looked up his bio and he seems to be a more conventional type of administrator who spent almost two decades at Columbia. Why MIT would recruit someone like that from outside the community, and for such an influential position, I don't know - unless he really believed in and embraced MIT's values. Ultimately it's up to you and other current students to keep the open minded hacker culture alive, and on I hope the more the admins try to interfere the more determined and creative you become (another important lesson for the real world).
