EPTNot sure about you, but I have had group conversations both irl and in a virtual group chat that I would appreciate my boss to not know about, and I believe most of us have had it as well.

Edit: spellign I'd recommend not making a facebook page about it and naming that facebook page after your employer then. I can absolutely see why Harvard didn't want it's brand associated with a facebook page declaring itself as being for Harvard admitted people and full of offensive memes. In this instance they did it in a particularly stupid and public way. | ||

If it was a page, it would be completely understandable. However it is in my opinion not, when it is some people having a private chat through their messaging system.

Or if it was named Harvard something. Harvard has a lot of image value to maintain and having some rich shits mucking it up with foul stuff isn't going to be allowed. In the article: Two incoming students told the Crimson the group was at one point called “Harvard memes for horny bourgeois teens.” | ||

Never attribute to malice that which is explained sufficiently by stupidity. That would assume a high level of competence on the part of a large number of people, and when it comes to Trump supporters... forget it. I'm actually shocked that people were laughing as he was giving his spiel though. That was a sad moment for any and everyone who bought into his BS. | ||

Jesus. Begs an interesting question. Let's say someone posts an album of pictures on Facebook titled "my academic career at harvard", and it had a ton of questionable behavior and opinions and dirty memes etc. I wonder how that would go. When is it just doing your stuff, which happens to be at Harvard, and when is it actually Harvard's business? | ||

i mean the kid they interviewed only commented under the condition of anonymity. if (s)he can't stand by the things they said i can't feel bad that they had their admission revoked. play stupid games win stupid prizes. i'm not one for internet anonymity to begin with, though. and i'm actually clear on the opposite spectrum from Mohdoo. if i were a huge messaging group i'd lean more towards 'well stupid as as stupid does' but if it's a personal message that got leaked to the admins between friends i'd treat it even more seriously. | ||

Wait, what? You're saying a personal message between 2 people, sharing questionable content or making questionable jokes, should be punished? | ||

To believe that Trump doesn't just say how it went because he would realize how fucking offensive it is to the people who sang those slogans also means RIK hasn't really followed the donald recently. The guy is so candid it borders the grotesque. | ||

(I don't use facebook) Is a message group viewable by anyone or just the name, or what? I'd like to see the exact jokes they got banned for, just because I'm a little bit distrustful of how media would choose to relate some of the borderline content that exists out there. Anyway, sad thing to have ruin what was no doubt a lot of hard work, but hard to feel a ton of sympathy if the description is accurate :/ | ||

More or less my feelings on it. I don't even think these kids had any necessary poor intent - just off color joking. But this is clearly a hard lesson in PR and how people should be conscious of context when they may be representing something other than themselves.

From the article, it sounds like this group was a spin off chat from a larger, accepted students group. If it was a spin off chat of people who haven't met each other before, it'd be easy for something like this to reach the wrong ears. | ||

It's baffling to me that Trump was tweeting about the London attacks, in which three attackers managed to kill seven people using a van and knives, to bitch about how gun control doesn't help. I can't decide whether I'm more offended by the tactlessness of it or the stupidity. Gun control fucking worked in this instance. They didn't have guns, the police did, just minutes after they started their attack the police showed up and gunned them down. | ||

At this point they shouldn't even allow him to visit London. He shouldn't want to go either. If he does he will be booed mercilessly. | ||
