I agree with you that what MIT has done is absolutely wrong. Some disciplinary action at the time -- suspension or even expulsion -- would have been appropriate. Although Yoo was not the only person responsible for Krueger's death, he certainly bore part of the blame. But taking his degree away from him now is preposterous.

And most of the blame should be put squarely on the fraternity system itself, IMO. As long as there have been fraternities, this sort of hazing nonsense has been going on. There have been scores of deaths over the years. They have sparked periodic campaigns to "civilize" the hazing process, but these incidents keep happening. Perhaps MIT would be better advised to get rid of its fraternities.

I would guess that Yoo has a solid case against MIT. But you're the lawyer. What do you think?
