MIT is a beacon of intellectual integrity. As such, it is the duty of the institute to let her go. Condoning her actions would be condoning fabricated information, and thereby undermining the entire scientific research community. They punish students with the same sort of rigor, why not the faculty?

This comment has said more than all others so far in this thread, and I agree with it. While I'm of the camp of individuals that think the job market, and society as a whole should be more performance and output oriented versus what a degree says (because for what it's worth, I should never have so much as graduated high school yet here I am working for Samsung USA), allowing her to stay would have compromised the ethos of what MIT represents. Well stated gjcourt.
