It's not at all obvious to me that (or why) Yale or Harvard ought to be accountable to us. They're private universities and, as far as I know, they appear to be following the laws that they're subject to. (Following the law is a form of accountability, but a very weak form.)

If they want to suddenly condition admissions on a hash function of the applicant's name, I think that would be absurd, but I don't think I ought to have any say in that matter.
