"I don't endorse this paper. Therefore you should take it down. I won't tell you why. Trust me bro."

Whether MIT is right or wrong, the arrogance displayed is staggering. The only thing more shocking is that obviously this behavior works for them and they are used to people obeying them without question because they are MIT.

More like "Because it involves a student, FERPA won't allow us to legally disclose what's going on, but we kicked the student out so you should take the hint and realize what was going on"
