Students sent each other memes and other images mocking sexual assault, the Holocaust, and the deaths of children, according to screenshots of the chat obtained by The Crimson. Some of the messages joked that abusing children was sexually arousing, while others had punchlines directed at specific ethnic or racial groups. One called the hypothetical hanging of a Mexican child “piñata time.” — The Harvard Crimson
Ten students who managed to beat out nearly 38,000 others to gain admission to Harvard lost their chance to attend the university after sharing offensive online memes in a private Facebook chat. After discovering the memes, which ironically were traded over a platform designed by a former alumnus over a decade ago, the College withdrew the students' offers of admission, upholding the institution's strong commitment to ethics.

And this is architecture-related because GSD?
This isn't architecture-related. It's related to student life. Archinect has a massive student audience.
^ Archinect is no longer confined to architectural topics. Something something social something culture something something ideas something something technology. Oh, and something politics something something.
Archinect has never been strictly architecture in our coverage. Nothing has changed in that regard in 20 years.
I'll never understand the younger generation's expectation of anonymity on corporate platforms attached to their real identities.
Back in my day we had enough sense to make up usernames.
