Students yesterday at HBS's campus-still in the midst of starting classes-were largely ambivalent about the administration's decision.
One first-year student praised the decision as a "smart public relations move," while most simply had no response.
The article in The Harbus describing the incident specifically considered and rejected charges of censorship by HBS.
One student noted an obvious tension in the administration's rhetoric.
"I've heard a lot about the administration here about how it's supposed to be changing and becoming more open," said first-year Todd T. Foley. "This doesn't seem to support that."
The mailing is sent each spring in an effort to "give [prospective students] balanced, representative information about the school, and that particular issue [of Harbus]-standing alone-did not do that," Olnick said
