The "MIT News" section of the latest Technology Review has an article
about eliminating the IHTFP philosophy by admitting 5 years of cheery
millenials who will "reject" it. It also has a Marilee Jones article
about how new "millenial" students are mindless, soulless drones -- it
may even be the exact same article of hers that ran a few months back
somewhere else. (As far as I can tell, the MIT News section exists
only in print; no web presence that I can find.)
I can't believe how blind the admins are to the students they're
admitting, or the way in which they (the admins) continually
reinvigorate the "IHTFP philosophy" with this kind of condescending
claptrap.
Sigh.
