<p>i'm not sure this is a fair characterization of the events as they actually happened. after accessing a handful of yale accounts after the mailing of RD decisions, princeton announced at an annual meeting of ivy admissions officers that they had done so, warning yale that they should (naturally) require more than just a social security number for log-ins. rather than moving forward with such good advice, yale sat on the story for several months, then went to the FBI with it, as if they had discovered some secret transgression. not at all gentlemanly on their part, and the cause of some (allegedly) continuing tension between the two schools' administrations. (and as for the harvard mocking princeton bit, that's just pure fabrication.)</p>
