Question: When I first joined CC there was a thread about a female student at MIT who committed suicide and her parents blamed MIT and sued – was she Asian?

<p>Yes, she was. I remember reading an article in Time about it. She wrote really despondent poetry and then set herself on fire after she couldn't bring herself to slit her wrists. Pretty old case by now, it occurred in 2000. Is anybody aware of the outcome of that lawsuit?</p>
<p>Oh, I found the Wikipedia page for it, here it is:</p>
