Apparently the wacky junior professor at MIT who was denied tenure has ended his misguided hunger strike. If he was really serious, though, he’d light himself on fire. I mean, because not getting tenure due to some perceived but completely unproven racism on the part of several independent investigative commmittees at MIT is totally a good reason to resort to the kind of extreme measures that people have generally used to protest err, dictatorial rule, political imprisonment, or violations of the Geneva Conventions.
