<p><a href=“http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/[/url]”>The Daily Princetonian;

<p>Or as the campus police obliquely notified the student body of the bizarre situation:</p>

<p>"April 5, 2005</p>

<p>The Department of Public Safety is alerting members of the campus community to an ongoing criminal investigation related to a graduate student, xxxxxxxx, who was arrested March 30 by Princeton Borough police on charges of reckless endangerment of another person, tampering with a food product, theft and harassment in connection with incidents involving drink tampering and cutting of women’s hair. The student is not on campus and is currently barred from returning.</p>

<p>The student was under investigation by campus and local police as a suspect in a small number of on-campus incidents prior to his arrest. The scope of the investigation has widened since his arrest, following his confession of involvement in dozens of incidents."</p>

<p>What happened to the website? Maybe this is another Yale prank.</p>

3

<p>That’s what I thought at first - revenge for the Hargadon break-in, or whatever.</p>

<p>But then someone forwarded the apparent notice from the campus cops.</p>

<p>And here’s the story from the local paper:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=14283623&BRD=1091&PAG=461&dept_id=425695&rfi=6[/url]”>http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=14283623&BRD=1091&PAG=461&dept_id=425695&rfi=6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>This is off topic, but I thought that Princeton was solely an undergraduate institution. How is he going to Princeton for graduate school then?</p>

8

<p>no princeton is not solely an undergraduate institution, princeton just does not have a business/law/medical school, but they have some graduate degrees. since they lack those 3 respective schools, the graduate school receives a lot less attention than that of the undergrad</p>

<p>Looks like somebody should have been “paying attention” to this PARTICULAR graduate student!</p>

10

<p>thats disgusting lol =/</p>

11

<p>yeah I saw this on the news… he only targets asian women :S. creepy. this makes me feel better about not being accepted. just a bit though… :(</p>

<p>Byerly suggested comparing the number of links to each story by tomorrow, so I put Google News links in the Harvard thread about the manure-thieving Harvard professor.</p>

14

<p>Great find, pcessly. I always wondered how the profs reloaded. Gotta believe the late-night talk shows will have some fun with this one. ;)</p>

15

<p>I am not sure the Princeton story will make it to China though. LOL</p>

16

<p>MSN reported the Harvard survey last week on its website (The Boston Globe had gotten a copy of that study).</p>

17

<p>Byerly has amazingly disappeared:)</p>

18

<p>And so he did. :)</p>

<p>There is some serious dirt at Princeton. It is a good university, no doubt about that, but they aint all sugar coated like people think.</p>

20

<p>yea … didn’t they hack yale’s admissions database or something? I think that hurt pton’s rep more than this one psycho with creepy obsessions.</p>
