Statement on U.C. Hastings Evacuation
by Jarret Cohen on behalf of AutoAdmit
This afternoon, the dean of the University of California, Hastings College of Law, acting on the advice of the FBI, cancelled classes and evacuated the building after becoming aware of a message posted on the AutoAdmit discussion board. An individual has come forward to claim responsibility for that message, and when the FBI special agent in charge of this matter contacted me I put him in touch with this person. My expectation is that this matter will, from this point on, be handled between the poster, the authorities, and the school.
Today someone yelled "Fire!" on AutoAdmit, and some people took his word for it. I don't blame them, given the horrible timing of the comment. Please understand that I run this place the way I do because I believe you deserve the chance to express yourselves openly and freely. But please, don't be stupid. Something said as a flame or a joke - as likely was the case here - may not be interpreted that way by college administrators, law enforcement, or those unfamiliar with the AutoAdmit community. Nevertheless, I respect the fact that every single person on AutoAdmit who responded to that thread clearly condemned the action.
I understand that many of you may have questions and concerns about this incident, as well as the future of the AutoAdmit message board. As I have in the past, I would like to draw on the collective wisdom of the AutoAdmit community to brainstorm ideas on how AutoAdmit should deal with these kinds of situations moving forward. I urge all of you to share your thoughts with me and the rest of the community in this thread.
