Not exactly, but....quote:
So here's the deal. Retired 78 year old professor makes some lewd comments online to several of his female students. They complain to MIT. MIT investigates, finds him guilty and then takes down all his free classes and course materials from MIT OpenCourseware, leaving a lot of students bereft of a drat good and free introductory physics course. If the guy is guilty, fine. Punish him. But to take down all his stuff so students can't access it seems a bit extreme.

Doesn't anyone less old and retarded have videos of themselves teaching physics? They should just put those up.

Well that sucks. His lectures definitely helped me get though my courses. Surely someone somewhere has them all saved. If it wasnt for him I probably wouldnt be where I am today - 4 months from completing an engineering degree. SanitysEdge fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Dec 10, 2014 |

This sucks, he was famous on campus for his lectures (riding bikes in class, shooting guns, ect.) and getting a lot of students interested in physics. Too bad he turned out to be creepy.

Too bad he turned out to be creepy. It makes me curious as to what he was doing/saying to be defined as creepy. Like, is this propositioning a younger student or is this more an "elevator incident"?

It is not enough to fire him and denounce him... no we must erase every last bit of evidence of his very existence, to purge ourselves of the taint he's left.
