Unabomber updates classmates in Harvard alumni directory

Harvard University has apologized–profusely–for the painful faux pas of allowing Ted Kaczynski’s entry into the 1962 alumni book and directory.

According to the US News and World Report, in honor of the 50th reunion for that class, the update book was compiled and included all the alumni. For his entry, “he lists his occupation as “prisoner” and says his awards are “Eight life sentences, issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, 1998.”

He received his degree from Harvard in mathematics and went on the get his masters and doctoral from the University of Michigan.

Kaczynski, nicknamed the Unabomber, remains locked up in federal prison in Colorado for killing three people and injuring 23 during a nationwide bombing spree between 1978 and 1995.

The Harvard Crimson ran a more detailed story about Kaczynski in a recent issue. Click here to read it.
