I couldn't disagree more. These are MIT graduates, highly intelligent people, not some slack jaw locals.
They are fully capable to look at the issues and take moral responsibility for the University they are part of.
How can an intelligent person support a organisation by being part in it, then take no responsibility for what it does.
Yes I know the commoners do this all the time for their entire lives, but being better educated (However you do it) is about moving on from this simplistic me me me mentality and looking at the total issue.

Being a student at MIT (or an alum) does not automatically imply support for everything MIT does. That said, I expect many MIT students and alumni to be paying very close attention (as I am) to the investigation that Prof. Abelson is conducting, and what follows from it. And I expect that MIT's administration knows that. But I seriously doubt that this DDoS attack will make any students pay attention who weren't paying attention already.
No, it's meant as a 'don't drink the coolaid' and think just because you are part of something you are
A. Right
B. Don't have to accept any responsibility for the organisation you are part of.
If MIT did something wrong and you go to MIT you are responsible for being part of that organisation. No one is forced to go to MIT.
Take responsibility for who you support, be it a university, club or a job.
If you think MIT did nothing wrong, then say they did nothing wrong. Don't say I'm a member of MIT but nothing bad(= short internet issues) should happen to me cause I'm just one of the many in this organisation.
