I'm shocked that the *Tech* editorial board didn't think that Kevin
McDonald's involvement with the Krueger affair should have
disqualified him from any sort of role that involved residential
supervision of undergraduates. Certainly if other administrators had
been aware of that connection previously, McDonald would have never
been hired. Dorow certainly knew that, but facilitated the hiring
anyway, to make life easier at DU. What the IFC types who wished
Dorow fond farewells failed to mention was that Neal had a long and
dangerous history of covering up facts and incidents of all kinds, in
order to protect the MIT fraternity system. Whether this was done in
the name of fraternity solidarity or some misguided sense of
responsibility to reduce crowding at the Institute, I'll probably
never know. But it is a human tragedy that it has taken so long for
this trail of corruption to be finally exposed to public view.
