When I took Halderman's security class, he warned us that any student who broke the law would automatically get an F in his class.

I think if you broke the law-- and he can't argue you broke the law unless you are convicted-- then getting an F is the least of your worries.

Incorrect they found that the only venues for a crime are locations where essential elements occur. In the case of the parts of the CFAA violated that would either be the location of the hacker at the time of the hacking, or the location of the hacked machine at the time of the hacking.

You think this could have been said some thirty years ago?

Actually, I do remember on a Charlie ROse show, Charles Murray said something like: "Not very many people with 80 IQs can be successful mathematicians." [1]. He then went on to say, "Fortunately most people with 80 IQs don't want to be mathematicians."

Of course everyone was trashing Murray at the time.

[1] Not to conflate coal miners with people with 80 IQs.

Well it means that University investments will not go towards fossil fuels, but why were they investing in fossil feuls in the first place?
Oh wait. It must be because fossil fuels were the most lucrative alternative. So invest in the second most lucrative investment. The University will just make less money. It just means their endowment will be smaller. Which just means that their budget will be smaller.

Nowadays, Universities don't have many alternatives to compensate for smaller budgets, but they do have one major place they traditionally look to to, tuitions.

Except:

They've proven themselves not progressive. Just look at how much they demand in order to be allowed to attend classes. They are a school for the rich, by the rich.

So really raising tuition is not a good idea.

I know! They can simply cut faculty pay!

I'm so glad that 100 faculty are volunteering to have their pay cut.
