Many rock stars in theoretical computer science, including theoretical cryptography, are linked to Blum either directly (advised by him) or indirectly (advised by his students).

He left Berkeley to CMU to stay close to his son, Avrim Blum then at CMU, and grand kids. Avrim moved to Toyota Technological Inst, Chicago for greener pastures last year.

It is kind of expected of Prof Blum couple to leave CMU to Chicago to stay close with his son. Wish they had given more substance to their claims of 'sexist management'.

" Wish they had given more substance to their claims of 'sexist management'."

Just because they didn't share the substance with you, doesn't mean they didn't share it with CMU administrators.

What's the point of a very public resignation if you're just going to silently pass off the issues to the people you claim are doing nothing about said issues?

lots of rock stars also linked to Professor Lenore Blum too! [I am sure you know this I just wanted to make note of it for the general public]

I was thinking more co-authorship but I guess the parent used 'linked' more properly as 'advised'
