Translated to actions, that means 1) MIT lawyers are going to argue against being compelled to release the un-modified documents immediately 2) the Abelson report isn't going to come out in 2013 ("careful").
MIT has clear commercial reasons for wanting to defer until after admissions, and possibly until the end of the 2012-2013 year. Releasing it in the summer actually is a more effective way of burying than releasing in 2014, so I guess what I mean is "released after the end of the 2012-2013 academic period".
MIT will be empty (sort of), everyone will be distracted by something new, and it won't affect admissions.
Given the fact that there are going to be a "review of this written material as well as extensive in-person interviews", is 2014 even realistic?
