Dave,

    If the schools were serious about being fair and honest; they 
should also revoke the degrees they have awarded to those people 
found guilty of major scandals like accounting fraud, etc.  Otherwise 
this is nothing more than grandstanding to show how serious they are 
about integrity, while not addressing the more serious problem of 
giving away oversight of the privacy data of potential students to a 
third party.  This could be the start of a plethora of law suits 
against the schools and the company that permitted the security 
breach.

    Stanford is the only school that seems to be acting rationally in 
all of this.
