Caltech cancelled Robert Millikan (the founder), so it wouldn't be unprecedented for Apple to cancel its founder(s) as well.

I'll be happy if it happens, but I'm not holding my breath. Abuse is literally in their corporate DNA. I guess if his vitriol was universal, maybe that makes it more palatable than hate targeted at one group? What a world.

And for the record, I'm not a fan of purity tests or waiting for Superman. Just because they haven't scrubbed Jobs doesn't mean they are unfit to have made this move.

And Albert Ruddock (a donor and trustee, I think), to the point that they're renaming Ruddock House. Some of us are very unhappy about this decision, given that the name "Ruddock" has a much stronger association these days with the House than the person.

Millikan wasn’t the founder of Caltech.
