I don’t know…I’m guessing that students don’t complain because there are no names listed. So you really can’t claim slander or harrassment if it you’re not identified personally.

Still…I think it’s awful. The students defend it by saying that it’s just how kids deal with things these days - and that it’s “real.” I think taking the step of putting it in a publication further encourages this behavior and blesses it as OK. I can’t say I’d be proud to be a Penn student…
