A head hasn't quite rolled in the Princeton/Yale Web site scrap, but it's definitely hanging lower. Princeton has demoted one of the top dogs in its admissions department, the guy who basically hacked into a Web site designed to inform applicants of their admission status at Yale. But wait, there's more. Princeton's dean of admissions will retire next year, ostensibly because of this, and nine lower-level members of the staff are in a heap of trouble. Oh what a tangled Web we weave indeed!
