Until we have detailed methodology of the experience it does not seems to have been the case (it looked like they use randomized email address).

The only traceable bad patch that can be traced to the university was for one student that tried to coerce its way to patch acceptance, by invoking slander and accusing of other kind of despicable behavior from the reviewer.
