Horrors!

Another blogger bought down after he raised questions about the recruitment process at a top school! Whether the statements were true or false it is anyone's guess (I for one am more inclined to believe them), but to see free speech abused thus is a sad thing indeed.

It appears as if there is a strong conspiracy to only showcase the brightest and the best of Business School culture, anything that doesn't meet the bar is either pressurized to shut up or ostracized to the extent that the whistle blower loses interest in the project. After all why go through so much personal grief to educate anonymous people of the inner workings of a school? Apparently even the top schools are not immune to the voices of dissent and feel the urge to stamp down on them, it happened in the past with Stanford and now Cornell.

Kool-aid seems to be the drink of choice and you will be punished if you don't lower the level in your glass in record time.

Next time I go to a bar I will definitely raise a glass to oldman who shot from the hip. I haven't seen as enthusiastic a person as him in answering questions raised by prospective students on the BW forum, while at the same time not pulling wool over their eyes when it came to the darker underbelly of the system. Here is wishing him all the best for the future, and hoping that he doesn't face too much repercussions for standing up and speaking the truth, atleast as he saw it. So long Oldman!
