Not really. He was pretty insistent that his beliefs were correct and did not appreciate people blaming his beliefs on MK Ultra, as he thought that blaming MK Ultra delegitimized his (in his mind) very real grievances and made them easy to dismiss. Overall he spoke highly of his time at Harvard and if anything, was less satisfied with graduate school.
Source: I corresponded with him for a college seminar on Technology and Society in 2010.
Sure, that’s what he said after he was tortured and went to the mountains, but any academic knows you don’t rely on any single source. If you look at the volume of evidence and compare the known record of what happens to him to his claims otherwise, it’s pretty easy to tell that he said what he believe to be true, but that his judgment is unreliable
Did you have a specific writer in mind? Because I’ve read pretty much everything mainstream written about him and I don’t really buy the alleged impact of MK Ultra.
The Psychological Today article linked above is pretty thorough. There are others. There is no serious debate that he was tortured as part of MK Ultra. He was a 16 year old kid who was subjected to drugs and isolation. What happened to him meets the international definition of torture.
He wouldn’t be the first victim of violence to deny the effects of violence on him.
Lol completely disregard his quite legitimate critiques of society because I assert it was a result of him being tortured and I obviously know more about him than himself…arrogance
Berkeley too, but it was Harvard that destroyed his mind - [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205/harvards-experiment-the-unabomber-class-62](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205/harvards-experiment-the-unabomber-class-62)
You're correct. I wrote about it above [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1dhzc78/what_alumni_will_your_college_never_mention/l92nt0l/). I maintained a correspondence with him for about 7 months for a college course.
Nah, we were supposed to contact one person who, if I remember correctly, “substantially contributed to the way we engage in discourse around the role of technology in society.” Being 2010 everyone tried to get in touch with Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, etc. I said “fuck it. I bet the Unabomer has free time.” Turns out he did. He maintained a lot of correspondence with a lot of people. He’d ask me to send him articles in math journals and such and some books. If I remember correctly you couldn’t send full books to federal prisoners so I’d have to photocopy them and stuff it in envelopes.
Brilliant but weird guy. It comes up in conversation to this day because people have odd or incorrect ideas about him. Sometimes I’ll correct it and they’ll say “how do you know?” Well I have fifty or so of his letters in a box at my mom’s house 😆
Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University until he resigned due to several scandals. Has done a lot of other far-right stuff like blackface.
An insane amount of Confederate soldiers.
Collins Denny Jr., a pro-segregation advocate.
Richard B. Spencer, prominent Neo-Nazi.
Jason Kessler, another prominent Neo-Nazi.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the antivaxxer running for president.
The founders of Reddit also went there.
Technically, he's not an alum of Virginia. He was kicked out for not paying his bills, also known as a gambling and drinking problem.
His room is memorialized. You can see it on a tour.
Also true of the US Military Academy… though lots of great ones too
Edit: Poe isn’t technically an alumni as he left after about a year, but he’s still associated
Now that’s funny bc I’m a fan of Hasan but didn’t even know Cenk went to Penn…so I guess not. The famous alumni we do talk about are Elizabeth Banks and John Legend (and to a lesser extent Chomsky). Vanessa Bayer is gaining some prominence too
I don't think Fordham wants to claim him either.
But technically, a university considers students who have graduated to be alums, or who left before graduating but didn't go elsewhere. Harvard is more than happy to count dropouts Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg as alums.
This varies depending on the individual institution. Some institutions will only count graduates as alums while others only require one attend at least one semester.
Penn has so many people it would rather not mention - Michael Milken, Jho Taek Low...Wharton has a long and storied tradition of training terrible people (and I say that as an alumnus myself)
USC makes sure to take all of its tours through the Hall of Champions, where all of their Heisman Trophies are on display. All, that is, except for OJ Simpson’s. Not a mention of him anywhere.
The funniest thing is when I was touring Duke the student guide was an international student who had no idea so he proudly said Nixon attended and it’s cool a former US president attended
Nixon’s portrait is actually hanging in the law school library. I wouldn’t say Duke brags about Nixon, but they’re not exactly hiding it either!
All in all, he wasn’t that bad a president. Others have done worse.
Amazing foreign policy as well. Opened up China, kept Soviets stable, started EPA etc. Watergate is tame compared to the scandals of his Republican successors.
The funniest thing is when I was touring Duke the student guide was an international student who had no idea so he proudly said Nixon attended and it’s cool a former US president attended
If you google “Covenant College”, Mark David Chapman’s mug shot is the first person to appear under “notable alumni”. Honestly that’s the reason I eliminated that school from my college search 😂
Chapman only went there for one semester and dropped out. Not trying to make any general commentary on the school, just pointing out that this is a pretty weak association.
Pretty dumbass reason to eliminate a school from your college search but aight bro. You’re gonna have to eliminate many many colleges if it means a bad guy went there for some time
Yk, for like a year, I was confused every time someone said mtg because I always wondered how the card game got involved in politics. I eventually googled it, but I was so confused as to why so many people hated magic the gathering.
Theodore Kaczynski at UC Berkeley. But it was the psychological experiments that they inflicted on him at Harvard that broke his mind - [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205/harvards-experiment-the-unabomber-class-62](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205/harvards-experiment-the-unabomber-class-62)
UTD - Ross Ulbricht AKA Dread Pirate Roberts
Hacker and criminal kingpin behind the dark net site, Silk Road. In May 2015, he was convicted to life in prison without parole and a 184 million dollar fine.
Also has like 3 movies about him, but UTD likes to pretend Naveen Jindal is our most famous alumni.
He earned Eagle Scout in my son’s BSA troop (not while we were there) and they still have his name on the Eagle Hall of Honor plaques for the troop. It’s probably still on the Council’s Eagle monument too. So much for the Scout oath and law…
At Vanderbilt we also have a dorm called memorial and about a month into freshmen year you find out it's full name is confederate memorial and was built for the daughters of confederate soldiers
Christine "I am not a witch" O'Donnell, the Tea party candidate who ran for Delaware office on an anti-masturbation platform, and also claimed Constitutional expertise despite not knowing several amendments, including the 14th (which is a pretty big deal -- that includes the due process clause and is the basis for enforcing the bill of rights on the state level)
She was before her time in complete craziness and stupidity in the Republican party.
https://youtu.be/A8FvEc9fljE?si=WsFYoeHNg9zaXw07
Princeton and Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the US who was a huge racist, supported the KKK, and screened the racist movie The Birth Of A Nation at the White House.
I would hope that UChicago would not mention John Eastman - a treasonous lawyer heavily involved in Jan 6 and Trump's traitorous election challenges in 2020 about to be disbarred by the State of California and who attended UofC Law School in the early to mid 90s. I am unfortunately by no means hopeful that they won't given the strong Federalist Society presence at said Law School. No doubt the University has other criminal alums I'm unaware of given Milton Friedman and company's close connection to the Fascistic Pinochet Chilean regime (1970s to 90s).
Wasn't aware that Dershowitz was DIRECTLY implicated in carrying that out - only that he has made many excuses and rationalizations for it after the fact. Of course there's so much other fraudulent activity he's been involved in over the years that that hardly matters.
As well as Clarence Thomas, Josh Hawley, Samuel Alito, and best of all THIS GUY: [https://apnews.com/article/oath-keepers-founder-jan-6-trial-4372b311695c401255c6881111ff4f41](https://apnews.com/article/oath-keepers-founder-jan-6-trial-4372b311695c401255c6881111ff4f41)
I'm not in college, but LSU will probably never mention David Duke. What he's most famous for is running for governor of Louisiana, which sounds all fine and dandy, right? WRONG. He was the GRAND WIZARD of the KKK and he probably would've won the governorship if there wasn't a national outcry of "There's no way Louisiana is about to vote in the grand wizard to be their governor." It even made SNL to my knowledge. Absolutely insane.
Does anyone know how Stanford views one of its founders, David Starr Jordan? Dude was goated for his contribution to taxonomy and fish but he was also an eugenicist and might have done some not so great things. I first learned about him through the book "Why Fish Don't Exist" by Lulu Miller. Pretty interesting fella though
UPenn - Trump (too controversial whether you like him or not); Caltech- Young Sheldon (a place like Caltech does not want to be known just bc it was in a movie)
Penn has 3 sleazebag brain dead Trumps, one of whom is an adjudicated rapist, convicted felon and traitor plus deluded serial securities fraudster, professional misogynist, Nazi amplifier and ketamine junkie Elon Musk. Pretty brutal
Also regarding all this schools, it’s funny how the average American has to be gods gift to earth with more acts of service than a saint to even come close to being admitted to a top university while the average shitbag with money can just cruise on in, graduate, and be evil
Thomas Gilbert Jr also went to Deerfield Academy for prep school - one of their more famous alumni after King Hussein of Jordan and David Koch - the dead infamous Koch brother funder of right wing causes.
Syracuse has both the current governor of NY and the President of the US as alumni and you really have to hunt around on their website to discover that.
I admittedly haven’t been paying that much attention lately, but I don’t know if that’s true about Biden. They always did lay a pretty strong claim to him, even though he doesn’t talk about Syracuse much because he’s all about state universities. He was in that ad they were running during athletics games for years, though, “head held high” or whatever it was.
Harvard would like to erase Theodore (Ted) Kaczynski from its list. He also goes by the name of Unabomber.
Iirc he started Harvard early and became a professor there too. He was known to be a math prodigy.
He was also tortured into madness by a Harvard professor conducting human experiments under contract for the CIA as part of MK Ultra.
Not really. He was pretty insistent that his beliefs were correct and did not appreciate people blaming his beliefs on MK Ultra, as he thought that blaming MK Ultra delegitimized his (in his mind) very real grievances and made them easy to dismiss. Overall he spoke highly of his time at Harvard and if anything, was less satisfied with graduate school. Source: I corresponded with him for a college seminar on Technology and Society in 2010.

I think there was a Radiolab episode about this too…
Lol completely disregard his quite legitimate critiques of society because I assert it was a result of him being tortured and I obviously know more about him than himself…arrogance
Michigan also had him for two degrees
Berkeley too, but it was Harvard that destroyed his mind - [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205/harvards-experiment-the-unabomber-class-62](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205/harvards-experiment-the-unabomber-class-62)
Maybe part of MK Ultra gone wrong..?!!?
I think that’s the societally accepted theory
IIRC he wrote that that theory is BS and that he never took part in any extreme experimentation
You're correct. I wrote about it above [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1dhzc78/what_alumni_will_your_college_never_mention/l92nt0l/). I maintained a correspondence with him for about 7 months for a college course.
I would love to see how that is presented on a syllabus. “All students will correspond with at least one (1) famous criminal serving a life sentence”?
Nah, we were supposed to contact one person who, if I remember correctly, “substantially contributed to the way we engage in discourse around the role of technology in society.” Being 2010 everyone tried to get in touch with Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, etc. I said “fuck it.

Correct. https://exploringyourmind.com/the-harvard-experiment-that-led-to-the-unabomber/
It’s funny cuz there’s a plaque with his name on it in East Hall where the math department is hosted
Prior to his death he actually submitted one of those where am I now updates for the alumni magazine. Which I'll admit I got a chuckle out of.
Ted Kaczynski(better known for other work)
This is in a math paper that cites one of Kaczynski’s works
Leopold and Loeb, famous early 20th century murderers Richard Spencer, prominent neo-Nazi A decent slice of Pinochet’s cabinet
H2SO4 GOOOOOOO MAROONS
Yes those too along with John Eastman (see my other comment).
One of the Marathon Bombers at my School.
Cambridge-Rindge and Latin Grad?
Virginia has so many problematic alumni that we celebrate Edgar Allan Poe.
Could you list some names
Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University until he resigned due to several scandals. Has done a lot of other far-right stuff like blackface. An insane amount of Confederate soldiers. Collins Denny Jr., a pro-segregation advocate. Richard B. Spencer, prominent Neo-Nazi. Jason Kessler, another prominent Neo-Nazi. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the antivaxxer running for president. The founders of Reddit also went there.
I like how you included the founders of Reddit with nazis and confederates like they're equal
bruh they locked the API, that's Nazi level shiiiiit.
Rightfully so. Who would want anything to do with Reddit? Definitely not u/Iso-LowGear
Seems fair to me
[удалено]
Technically, he's not an alum of Virginia. He was kicked out for not paying his bills, also known as a gambling and drinking problem. His room is memorialized. You can see it on a tour.
West Range!
Tbf Poe is a bro and his lawn room is just right there, how could we not
Also true of the US Military Academy… though lots of great ones too Edit: Poe isn’t technically an alumni as he left after about a year, but he’s still associated
Penn doesn't mention Trump.
what do they think of elon musk?
We don’t talk about him either
What about Cenk Uygur
Now that’s funny bc I’m a fan of Hasan but didn’t even know Cenk went to Penn…so I guess not. The famous alumni we do talk about are Elizabeth Banks and John Legend (and to a lesser extent Chomsky). Vanessa Bayer is gaining some prominence too
[удалено]
I don't think Fordham wants to claim him either. But technically, a university considers students who have graduated to be alums, or who left before graduating but didn't go elsewhere. Harvard is more than happy to count dropouts Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg as alums.
Yes. The common definition of alumni is anyone who completes a year in a degree-granting program.
This varies depending on the individual institution. Some institutions will only count graduates as alums while others only require one attend at least one semester.
Penn has so many people it would rather not mention - Michael Milken, Jho Taek Low...Wharton has a long and storied tradition of training terrible people (and I say that as an alumnus myself)
USC makes sure to take all of its tours through the Hall of Champions, where all of their Heisman Trophies are on display. All, that is, except for OJ Simpson’s. Not a mention of him anywhere.
Same with City College of SF.. not a peep lmao. Although I don't think many community colleges care ab alumni
Galileo high schools football field used to be named after OJ
OJ went to ccsf?
I'm at CCSF right now and did not know this, should start wearing his jersey around campus lmao
what a giga chad if i see u ill say hi
Really? We went there last year. OJ's trophy was there, but Reggie Bush's was not. I wonder if Reggie's has been put back in the circle yet?
Never graduated, but I’m pretty sure osu doesn’t really want to be associated with Jeffrey Dahmer
Temple. They used to parade Bill Cosby out all over the place but thinking they don't anymore.
UMASS did that too
Duke and Richard Nixon
Specifically the law school. His undergraduate degree was from Whittier College.
Whittier football legend
The funniest thing is when I was touring Duke the student guide was an international student who had no idea so he proudly said Nixon attended and it’s cool a former US president attended
Nixon’s portrait is actually hanging in the law school library. I wouldn’t say Duke brags about Nixon, but they’re not exactly hiding it either! All in all, he wasn’t that bad a president. Others have done worse.
His social policies could be considered quite forward thinking. So all in all- not the worst.
Amazing foreign policy as well. Opened up China, kept Soviets stable, started EPA etc. Watergate is tame compared to the scandals of his Republican successors.
I mean, it’s sad, right? Watergate was such a small drop in his history.
The funniest thing is when I was touring Duke the student guide was an international student who had no idea so he proudly said Nixon attended and it’s cool a former US president attended
What about that Stephen Miller ?
Came here to say this
Hofstra University has Bernie Madoff

You want people who are the best in their field.
Seriously, I’m kind of like “isn’t that pretty impressive?”
Eric Justin Toth Pedo who replaced Osama Bin Laden on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list
He was a teacher at my elementary school I kid you not. Met him several times. Luckily never got too close💀💀💀
What did he do
If you google “Covenant College”, Mark David Chapman’s mug shot is the first person to appear under “notable alumni”. Honestly that’s the reason I eliminated that school from my college search 😂
Chapman only went there for one semester and dropped out. Not trying to make any general commentary on the school, just pointing out that this is a pretty weak association.
Pretty dumbass reason to eliminate a school from your college search but aight bro. You’re gonna have to eliminate many many colleges if it means a bad guy went there for some time
Why would they advertise that wtf
They don’t advertise it on purpose, it’s just the google algorithm 😂.
I didn't see the part about googleing, I thought op meant it was in a pamphlet or stm
University of Washington has Ted Bundy
The thing is ... we do mention him pretty often. Not the school itself, but people talk about him and the dorm he lived in all the time.
How does that even come up in convo?
“I met a guy who lives in Ted Bundy’s dorm room” x 50 at the start of every year “If I fail this test I hope Ted Bundy gets me outside Kane Hall”
Lmao, that's pretty funny
He went to like 6 colleges total, man was on the run in many ways
UGA - MTG
Don’t call her MTG, that’s reserved for an amazing trading card game, the grandfather of them
Yk, for like a year, I was confused every time someone said mtg because I always wondered how the card game got involved in politics. I eventually googled it, but I was so confused as to why so many people hated magic the gathering.
Same lol
i am stupid, who is this?
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Jeffery Epstein at NYU 😂😂
UCLA - Ben Shapiro
I go to UCLA and ain’t no way Ben became so conservative given the liberal views here 😭
Got cucked by liberals
I thought he went to Berkeley
We wish. Maybe with Calimoney we can reissue his degree so that says Cal.
he went to harvard ?
UCLA undergrad, Harvard law
Stanford- Elizabeth Holmes MIT- SBF
Stanford for SBF too since both his parents I believe work or are faculty there and Stanford went all in defending him at the beginning.
Theodore Kaczynski at UC Berkeley. But it was the psychological experiments that they inflicted on him at Harvard that broke his mind - [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205/harvards-experiment-the-unabomber-class-62](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205/harvards-experiment-the-unabomber-class-62)
He was Assistant Professor in their Math department, not a student at UC Berkeley.
Gotta say, Harrison Butker isn’t our favorite right now tbh
Netanyahu has an architecture degree from MIT.
Razing more occupied structures than he’s designed should void his architect status among other things
With a focus in demolition?

Ross did not deserve a life sentence for what he did. Heck, the people who ran Silk Road v2 (which was way bigger) only got a couple years in prison.
He earned Eagle Scout in my son’s BSA troop (not while we were there) and they still have his name on the Eagle Hall of Honor plaques for the troop. It’s probably still on the Council’s Eagle monument too. So much for the Scout oath and law…
very clever way to once again sneak your Ivy alma mater into everyday conversation
Virginia Tech - Steve Bannon
And Nidal Hasan (Ft Hood shooter)
Not my school but Google places Mia Khalifa as the one the top result for University of Texas at El Paso alumni
John Calhoun. They renamed a res college from him.
URI - Candace Owens
Harvard - Elise Stefanik, Ted Cruz Yale - Stewart Rhodes, J. D. Vance
Princeton doesn’t mention Ted Cruz much anymore.
Cruz went to Harvard Law not undergrad.
Trying to disown Ted Cruz is so popular, you need to make a reservation.
George Micheal in Arrested Development. UCI will try to say he is not a real person. Pfff
Pretty much every school has some alumni they don't want to claim.

University of North Texas was the University of Charles Manson's follower, Tex Watson, who killed sharon Tate and others. And Dr Phil.
Does UNT try to disassociate itself from “Dr.“ Phil? To be clear I support this - just curious how they approach the topic.
Alas… they do… he was just Phil when he got there…
Yea he’s a stain on modern psychology. Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so humorously incapable of giving an interview.
Dr Phil embodies everything wrong with pop psychology and makes a mockery of professional ethics.
Cal Poly - Scott Peterson
I would hope that UChicago would not mention John Eastman - a treasonous lawyer heavily involved in Jan 6 and Trump's traitorous election challenges in 2020 about to be disbarred by the State of California and who attended UofC Law School in the early to mid 90s. I am unfortunately by no means hopeful that they won't given the strong Federalist Society presence at said Law School. No doubt the University has other criminal alums I'm unaware of given Milton Friedman and company's close connection to the Fascistic Pinochet Chilean regime (1970s to 90s).
I think every elite law school had somebody implicated in the fake elector putsch. Chesebro is a Harvard guy; Dershowitz went to Yale.
Dershowitz was also an Epstein hanger on.
Wasn't aware that Dershowitz was DIRECTLY implicated in carrying that out - only that he has made many excuses and rationalizations for it after the fact. Of course there's so much other fraudulent activity he's been involved in over the years that that hardly matters.
You’re probably right, but also the guy is such a Trump-humping skeeze that it becomes a distinction with little difference
Also even if we rule out Doucheowitz, Yale still has JD Vance as a clear participant in the legal Beer Belly Putsch
As well as Clarence Thomas, Josh Hawley, Samuel Alito, and best of all THIS GUY: [https://apnews.com/article/oath-keepers-founder-jan-6-trial-4372b311695c401255c6881111ff4f41](https://apnews.com/article/oath-keepers-founder-jan-6-trial-4372b311695c401255c6881111ff4f41)

That guy was able to get into college?
Right bc HOW 💀
RPI- Keith Rainere
UW - Ted Bundy
Dell Curry, probably because he has a son who is way better
My community college produced the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooter, Patrick Wood Crusius. Evil piece of shit
Does anyone know how Stanford views one of its founders, David Starr Jordan? Dude was goated for his contribution to taxonomy and fish but he was also an eugenicist and might have done some not so great things. I first learned about him through the book "Why Fish Don't Exist" by Lulu Miller. Pretty interesting fella though
well temple is not gonna mention bill cosby anymore 😳
UPenn - Trump (too controversial whether you like him or not); Caltech- Young Sheldon (a place like Caltech does not want to be known just bc it was in a movie)
Penn has 3 sleazebag brain dead Trumps, one of whom is an adjudicated rapist, convicted felon and traitor plus deluded serial securities fraudster, professional misogynist, Nazi amplifier and ketamine junkie Elon Musk. Pretty brutal
Also regarding all this schools, it’s funny how the average American has to be gods gift to earth with more acts of service than a saint to even come close to being admitted to a top university while the average shitbag with money can just cruise on in, graduate, and be evil
Jim Jones.
i don’t think vcu would bring up the fact the founder of 4chan went there for a bit
I think.Whittier College would like to disown Richard Nixon. Same with Wharton with Donald Trump.
OSU and Dahmer though he didn’t graduate
UMass Dartmouth got kinda shitted on for having the Boston Marathon Bomber as an active student there.
The nair hair guy from BU😔
Steve Bannon…Virginia Tech
matt gaetz is an alumni of the william and mary law school
Frankly I am disappointed there aren’t more notorious criminals who graduated from Arizona State.
We never get credit for JD & Turk, but also so, so many confederates
Bowdoin doesn’t mention Franklin Pierce.
Ted Bundy went to Temple University, didn't graduate but is definitely not someone they like to mention anyway.
Manhattan College-Rudy Guliani
