This is the first I've heard of it.

I found this:

and this:
https://newsoffice.mit.edu/2014/lewi...s-removed-1208

and an article from the Boston Globe.


This seems to be for real. MIT isn't saying there are allegations, they're saying they have reviewed the case and they agree with the accusations.

There are no details, but I expect it's legit if MIT made an official announcement and then pulled online content.


EDIT: These articles are dated Dec. 8, just a week and a half ago.
