Reed Denies Acceptance Because of LiveJournal Entry
I’m not sure how I feel about this one - I’m pretty surprised because I think it actually goes against all the liberalism pervasive in P-town:
Admissions dean Paul Marthers at Reed College in Portland, Ore., says the school denied admission this year to one applicant in part because his entries on blogging site LiveJournal included disparaging comments about Reed.
I found this paragraph inside an article about students and others being retaliated against because of what they post online. What you say online could haunt you

I’ve looked through that user’s LiveJournal (Yeah, I know who it is) and I’m pretty sure that his boasting about having gamed the financial aid process by getting sham married was what effected his admission denial. Online activity is quasi-anonymous, not private.
