No April Fool

I was going to try to come up with one of those typical April Fool's pieces in which one makes up some preposterous story about one's home institution in the hope that some gullible people will believe it.

But then I thought to myself: No, wait a minute, putting out even a patently untrue story that should be recognizable as such might nonetheless deceive people and harm the reputation of Hampshire College--and besides, Students for Justice in Palestine just did that.
