'Unabomber' Posts Bizarre Update to Alma Mater Publication

In case his college classmates missed his trial 14 years ago, convicted terrorist Ted Kaczynski just wants to let everyone at his alma mater know what he’s been up to.

Kacyznski, also known as the Unabomber, is serving a life sentence for killing three people and injuring 23 in a nationwide series of mail bombs sent between 1978 and 1995.

He’s also a member of the graduating class of 1962, which meets this week for its 50th reunion; and while Kaczynski was unable to attend — he’s currently incarcerated in a federal Supermax prison — he sent in a status update for the fete

The Unabomber lists his occupation as “prisoner,” and under awards includes, “Eight life sentences, issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, 1998.” Under publications, the Harvard mathematician lists Technological Slavery: The Collected Writings of Theodore J. Kaczynski, a.k.a. “The Unabomber” — an edited collection of his anti-technological rants published by Feral House in 2010, according to the Boston Globe.

A Harvard spokesman confirmed the entry was submitted by Kaczynski adding that the alumni reports are ultimately written for alumni by alumni.

The Harvard University alumni association has apologized for including the information. Kazcynzski, who was considered a child prodigy, attended Harvard at age 16. He evaded the police for nearly 20 years and was the subject of what’s considered to be one of the nation’s most costly manhunts.
