While the error was on the part of the University, the 12 MBA students SHOULD have been intelligent enough to know it'd have to be repaid...

The article even said one of the receipients asked about the money "Younan said he called the university after he received his $4,000 check in the mail and said he was told it was a "financial aid overpayment." He used it to pay his bills". You receive the check, you check on it, your told by the sender its yours... Is it really that suprising they then used the money? I'd agree with you if they honestly didn't know where the money is from and never inquired, but if you send me a check and I ask you about it and you tell me it's mine (only later to change your mind), I don't think they deserve the blame.

more specifically the quant finance geeks. not all of them have mbas or studied business. some studied engineering or natural sciences i.e. physics.
