those skanky ivy league bastards!

::turns up nose at dorkorific, the presidential shrub and other ivy leaguers::

so in the amherst student today: an admissions officer at princeton was suspended, investigated, then fired and rehired (in a less important postion)... why?

because he used information from applicants' applications (name, dob, ssn) to hack into yale's new online notification system and find out if they'd gotten in.

but it gets more surreal: the site displays fireworks if the applicant has been accepted and a tasteful little letter if not (what, no lump of coal?)

fireworks...

..just might be a way to gloss over the fact that even though you've been accepted at yale, yale is still in new haven

OTOH -- give someone control over a website and no telling wtf they'll come up with

instead of fireworks, it might have been yale's pres standing on a hilltop, arms spread wide in a jesus pose, robe flapping in the breeze exclaiming, "welcome to yale"
