Nice! MIT and a lot of the other elites would cover up.

I'll be interested to see if the professor keeps their job. I suspect so. A little fraud is rarely met with more than a wrist slap at the elite schools.

I don't have an informed opinion here (on how other elite universities would handle such an event). Do you have a citation? I did find an MIT retraction and not a cover up in the recent past though. See [1].

Author claims a frame up. Now that is something I've seen at MIT. The Institute has unique means to crash and burn people's reputations so most people fold.
