> Why is a disposition to violence treated differently? You be the one to hire a "violence prone" or "undependable" employee, then come back and asyb the same thing, G0del. Fact is, if someone has a disposition to violence, they will not be hired. I do agree with you that the classifiactions system must be accurate and not as arbitrary as a generic analysis program - I do not think the system suggested here is a good measure of tendency, but "discrimination" means just that: choice. It is my right to discriminate on a basis of a great many things as an employer, such as moral character, demonstrated skills, past experience and unpleasant tendencies. Moreover, in a good evaluation system, a successful effort to overcome violent tendencies should rate a person accordingly.
It was a #$%^! riot! They closed the event two hours early because the crowd was so rowdy! Between the coordinated cheers ("microsoft... SUCKS! Icampus... SUCKS!") and the people stomping on the complimentary copies of Office 2000, we gave a pretty clear message. I saw Chancellor Bacow waiting (to give a speech, maybe?), but he took off - Score one for the students!

Read the next issue of The Tech (a new issue will probably be out in a few days covering the future fest incident). You may change your mind.
