Harvard Apologizes For Publishing The “Awards” of Ted Kaczynski as “Eight Life Sentences”

Harvard alums received a bit of a surprise when reading the status of graduates for the class of 1962 in anticipation of the 50th reunion. One graduate decided to respond and list his current profession as “prisoner” and his “awards” as “eight life sentences.” The alum is unabomber Ted Kaczynski.

The Harvard Alumni Association issued a statement. “While all members of the class who submit entries are included, we regret publishing Kaczynski’s references to his convictions and apologize for any distress that it may have caused others.”

Of course, such grad distinctions often involve more classic ivy league crimes like Ester Reed (identity theft), Eugene N. Plotkin (insider trading), Andre Shliefer (insider trading), and Jeffrey K. Skilling (former President of Enron).
