Should the school be in the Poison Ivy League? The answer depends on if you believe Yale. The Connecticut university has accused Princeton of breaking into its admissions Web site. What was it after? Yale says the Princeton perps wanted to know which high school kids got into Yale, and which ones got shot down. This intrigue sounds like something for the drama department -- not the admissions department. Princeton isn't admitting anything, although the school has suspended a dean of admissions. The FBI is investigating. Maybe this case belongs in the law school.
