Dean of MIT Admissions, Marilee Jones, resigned today because she fabricated her own resume. All I can say is "good riddance" since this memo is what I remember most about Ms. Jones:
They [students] need to be involved in decision making, but they need for us to make the final decisions. We Boomers in particular have a tendency toward consensus even when consensus is inappropriate. They don't want us to be friends. They want us to lead.
[...]Stand firm through all of their excuses and whining. Eventually they will realize that you mean business and they'll comply because Millennials generally want to obey the rules.
[...]They do not need 30+ choices of living groups - they are busy...they just want a room.
