19 years at the helm. She worked hard to keep a system that works hard to keep people like her out. She's a hypocrite and they would have looked like hypocrites too, had they let her keep her job.

IIRC she was credited with making MIT a more diverse place; she really was good at her job.
BUT ... I've worked for a couple of major universities (not MIT, but similar), and you would not believe what degree snobs they are. Ideally, even staff should have a "terminal" degree from as famous a school as possible. The whole image is part of what they're selling.
