Descendants of Amos Tuck's Slave Children Demand Admission
Hanover, NH: Sources inside the Dean's office have confirmed recent rumors that two individuals claiming to be descendants of Amos Tuck have approached the Admissions office and demanded a place in the class of 2008.  Y-chromosome tests show that, in fact, the individuals are direct descendants of the Tuck family; however, it is not clear from the evidence whether Edward or his brothers or father were responsible. 

The two men are currently students at Harvard Business School.  In an exclusive interview with the Tuck Profit, they conceded that their motivation for coming forward at this time was basically selfish.  "We just want to get a good education.  Our half great great uncle-in-law founded Tuck, and now we're thrown out on the street?"

In an attempt to save face, Harvard Business School assistant professor Samuel Sloan is planning to write a case about the situation.  According to Sloan, "I am developing this case solely for the basis of class discussion, and certainly not to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation."

Dean Danos expressed shock and outrage at the accusations, but later retracted his statement when it became apparent that the scandal lent an air of "Monticello" to the institution.  The Monticello Quarterly has decided to initiate coverage of MBA programs, and will release its rankings early next month.
