April Fool: Misconduct at M.I.T.

"Reports of misconduct at MIT climbed in last academic year" by Evan Allen  |  Globe Correspondent, April 01, 2013

CAMBRIDGE — The number of reported cases of student misconduct on MIT’s campus more than doubled in the 2011-2012 academic year, although officials largely attributed the jump to better reporting by students and professors....

Nearly three-quarters of students accused of misconduct were male....

Allegations of harassment, which includes sexual misconduct, more than tripled, from five to 18, according to the report....

Other reported cases:

■ Allegations of cheating more than quadrupled....

■ Plagiarism stayed level....

■ Alcohol policy violations were up....

■ Unauthorized access complaints were up....

■ Assault and reckless endangerment dropped from 19 to five, and other violations, which were mostly property damage and disorderly conduct, dropped from 28 to 26....

So once again, violent crime went down.

--more--"

So that is what those kids are doing over at the lab.
