Cognitive Shift

Edmund Carlevale / November 1, 2020
Pathological
Dysfunction
MIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering is at war with itself.

Dear Colette,
Perhaps explain your
feelings?
People make mistakes! We all
must be prepared for the
humbling day when that
happens to ourselves. And
when that day arrives, try to
respond in a helpful way.
Assume that the offending
party did not mean to offend,
that they truly made a mistake.
In other words, offer some
explanation of where they
went wrong. How they hurt or
offended.

In order to serve as effective coordinators of an increasingly
fragmented and disjointed ecosystem, cities must adopt a
regulatory posture that makes it advantageous for all
participants in the ecosystem to aCleaning
In this model, the city would emphasize planning and
procuring, not just the provision of services, and would
require the sharing of certain data in order to create a
platform that would provide clarity on pricing and availability
to all permitted suppliers of mobility services. And it would
do so in a way that defrays some of the city’s costs associated
with maintaining the curb space and related roadway.

The increased private-sector deployment of connected
mobility services brings with it increased competition for
space on public streets.16 Therefore, fees should be
imposed on activities in proportion to the degree to which
those activities use scarce public space, impose costsExterior

Too often, the story behind regulation has been dictated by

Colette,
I am genuinely sorry for my recent emails. I didn’t understand your reaction
to my email of 3/28, and felt that by CC’ing your reply to Angela and Phil,
you had threatened my job, which is indeed what happened. But yesterday
I started working with a coach whom I originally engaged to guide me
through the process of applying for Angela’s position. Within five minutes
she made me see that my present job is the job that I want, and within ten
minutes she helped me to understand how my own communication skills
had undermined my work.
I hope that this misstep won’t get in the way of an effective working
relationship. Small disagreements can become permanent impasses, and
I’ve worked hard to avoid that, and will continue to do so.
Kind regards,
Ed

The people who pay the price for dysfunction are junior faculty,
and they have no say whatsoever in any of the issue that affect
them.

Storage space
I submitted my notice on April 6 and asked to withdraw it on
April 7, and two weeks later I was out of MIT. The only part of
that story that astonishes is how little anyone cared about what I
had accomplished. I had transformed the Parsons, and was on
route to much. Martin said my work was “sweet.”
But my work wasn’t about you. It was about junior faculty. It was
about post-docs. Your stuff spills out into the corridors,
crowding out everyone else. It isn’t a small thing beginning to
clean that up.

This was the plan. It had nothing to do

It was a war between you and Building 1 that you lost.
But I was the only victim.
What profound immaturity and mean spiritedness.
What an incredible waste of money, time.
And while all this passive-aggressive undermining was
going on, I seem to recall a junior faculty member who
was struggling.
But that struggling is absolutely irrelevant to these
other power struggles.

To: Markus J. Buehler
Cc: Angela R Mickunas
Dear Professor Buehler,
It has come to the attention of the below-signed postdocs, graduate
students, and other members of the Parsons community that Edmund
Carlevale will be leaving his post as Assistant Director of Parsons. Although
we do not know the specifics that led up to this event, we wish to express
our surprise and disappointment given our shared view that Edmund’s work
has had a positive effect on and benefitted the Parsons community.
Edmund has brought vision and vigor to his work in Parsons that is evident
in the improvements throughout the building. These improvements are
heartily welcomed by many in the community as an effort to improve both
the quality of the workspace and the face that this building presents to
guests and visitors who come here to engage with this intellectually open,
innovative, and forward-looking community. There is a shared sense among
us that the energy and dedication that Edmund has brought to his mission
here is unique, and that if allowed to stay on and continue his work, he will
continue to bring change to Parsons that will benefit the whole community
for many years to come.
Moreover, Edmund has impacted the Parson’s community far beyond what
would normally be expected of him. Edmund serves as a valued source of
support for much of our community—especially students. He smiles and
greets us when he sees us around the lab and asks us how our work is
going, always offering to help however he can. Edmund has gone above
and beyond the call of duty to assist people during late hours and
weekends and has spread his enthusiasm and cheerfulness to create a
better working environment for the community.
We sincerely hope that there is a place in this process for the Administration
of CEE to take under consideration this strong vote of confidence for
Edmund by the Parsons community. We would also like to highlight that
many of us have also previously noted our appreciation for Edmund’s
contributions in nominating Edmund to receive the CEE Excellence Award.
We ask that these also be considered as a reflection of his impact on the
community.

Poverty and Depression
Dead and dying bushes. A

poverty and depression looks

Now the real
pathological begins.
And MIT has no safeguards. It doesn’t even notice or think it’s bizarre.
But Penny, Martin and Dara: This is where you should have protected me. These pathological
accusations ended my career. Did you register even the slightest protest?

How does one become
a cyberstalker at MIT?
It’s really quite easy. You simply create a pdf
describing your work of the past 15 months.
And why would you do something like that?
Because I wanted a record of what I had
accomplished. What work was in the pipeline.
You know, normal stuff.
Do the people who reported you as a
cyberstalker understand what that means?
And what the consequences are for a web
developer?

Dear Provost Schmidt and Chancellor Barnhart,
An MIT HR Officer phoned me today and told me not
to “go near any CEE building” because someone
inside feels “threatened by me.”
This is a very serious charge, and I apologize in
advance for the barrage of attached emails and
documents I’m submitting in my defense. I’ve spent
the day trying to frame a proper reply, not to the
accusation or to HR, but to… I’m not entirely sure.
I’ve been at MIT for 27 years, and feel that I’ve made
a distinguished contribution. But the things I’ve
bumped my head on are the same things that MIT
has bumped its head on, and the world as well… but
that bumps and bruises don’t constitute a reason for
a meeting, so perhaps all I can do at present is
submit this protest at the way I’ve been treated.
Kind regards and thanks,
Ed Carlevale
PS: I’ll marshal that barrage of documents in my
defense at another time. For now I’m attaching two
documents that indicate what I’m defending.

Hi Jesse and Markus,
I really liked the spirit of your town hall message yesterday. Best wishes to
both of you.
I am preparing to submit applications for two CEE positions, for the
Administrative Officer position and for the assistant to the Parsons Director
position. If you feel the time has come to move on, please let me know. I
would absolutely understand.
As part of the application process — and perhaps also to help with the
transition process for whomever succeeds me — I am preparing short
screencasts to describe the work that I did, where that work stands, and how
I feel this fits in with your own goals. Total length will be under 10 minutes. I
would like to send this later today, and will send an outline in advance.
You are both passionate about your work. The same is true for me. Your
success is based on the fact that you care. The same is true of me. As I grew
to understand my role more clearly, I used my friendships with Penny, Martin,
Phil, Dara in order to disagree with them. And just as your commitment to
your research, your team, and your responsibilities allows you to put in long
hours, to make the adjustments and course corrections that that allow you to
stay on track to your larger goals, the same is true of my commitment. My
goals are identical to those that Markus discussed at last year’s staff town
meeting, and that Jesse will discuss next week at Parsons. With Angela,
Markus has stabilized CEE. His leadership has the unanimous support of the
faculty. Jesse represents a fresh start. I would be honored to join your team.
And I hope to make a strong case for myself in my screencasts and
applications.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to express this. I’ll follow up with
my screencasts, then my applications. I welcome the opportunity to discuss
any aspect of this at your convenience.
Best wishes for your work — and for a great summer.
Kind regards,

I’ve tried for the past hour to think of a

Lab as an unpublished paper, and this is my too
late attempt to publish it. Worse, the slideshow
is 40 pages of me patting myself on the back,
followed by 10 pages of me giving you a

that.
But the audio track is very different. It’s my
effort to say why this work was important. I still
think it’s important, and that, apparently, is
plausibility enough for me to send it along.

To: Philip M Gschwend
Phil,
In many of our conversations you’ve suggested that we work as good cop/bad cop,
and that’s the way it’s worked out: you set limits and I open discussion. But from the
summer til yesterday, our time to talk has been essentially nil. And if you and I never
communicate, nothing constructive comes of a good cop/bad cop dynamic. With the
start of the new term my job has deteriorated into crisis management. I have no input
into anything, but I have the responsibility for cleaning it up. That is the essence of my
frustration.
With the three hires that you announced yesterday, you’ve done more longterm
good for the lab than anyone else, and achieving that offsets any other consideration.
But if Dave and Desiree are going to get tenure, if they’re not going to walk into a
divided dysfunctional environment, to say nothing of Ben and Serguei getting tenure,
serious challenges have to be addressed immediately. One of them is your transition
as Director in the coming years. And with Martin leaving, Otto and Colette and Jesse
become critical players. That’s why I’ve worked hard to build positive relationships
with them, and with everyone else.
Tomorrow I’ll send you and Penny and Dara the Assistant Director job description as I
conceive it. It describes the work I’ve done over the past year, then reorganizes it to
support the mission of the Parsons Lab. But this job description needs the support of
the full Parsons faculty, then Markus and Angela. That is the approach I hope you
take.
This is not an easy position, but for some reason I’m good at it. Pat Dixon and Sheila
played substantial roles at Parsons and I see myself along the same lines. But the
unique thing I bring, aside from the fact that I like where many hats, is that I have
enough history with Parsons that I can help build bridges, and that’s what’s needed
most right now, first within Parsons, then between Parsons and CEE. When you read
the job description you’ll see my strategy toward that goal. Either it gains your
support or it doesn’t. But if none of this is along lines that you support, please let me
know sooner rather than later, to spare us both the wasted effort.
Finally, sincere congratulations for the three new faculty hires and thank you for your
patience with me. I literally cried when I knew Desiree would be hired. I feel she will
be a transitional figure at Parsons and CEE, and I want to be part of the team that
makes that happen.

been at MIT, and Colette Heald, CEE Associate Department

Dara said that the Lab needed a “Mother Hen,” that is, someone

Building Manager/
Support Staff
1. Redundant financial skills
Choosing Administrative Officer
on the basis of accounting skills
creates redundancy with
Financial Officer, and creates
gaps in leadership skills (good
with people, useful building
manager skills, etc).
2. Personnel manager with no interest
in staff skills
1. Embarrassing department website
unchanged for 5+ years; ignores
bullying by administrative officer;
gaslights staff with inappropriate
“celebrations,” on and on and on.
3. Associate Department Head
Placed in position as de facto
Parsons Director; independent
budget; primary relationship
with Building 1; steps down once
transition to new leadership is
complete.

4. Devolving support for Building Manager
at Parsons.
The position of Building Manager has been
steadily defunded (Pat > Sheila > Jim >
Me) as a means of reining in the
independence of the Parsons Lab. One
may think of an impoverished “Cuba” as
one tours the lab.

You don’t know
what you have til
it’s gone
CEE has the two best
buildings and locations at MIT.
But none of the faculty inside
them are on speaking terms
with each other.

On March 30 I sent an email to
Colette and Jesse complaining
that in 15 months they had
never found 15 minutes for
me to explain what I was
trying to do at the lab.
Every other Parsons
faculty member had
somehow found the

But what matters in

And the outside is the same as the inside. That’s how these
things work.

My first cognitive leap
Right from the start the job was
difficult and yet an unexpectedly
perfect fit.
As a web developer or Communications Manager, I had a role to play in
my previous that was specific and limited. There were a lot of different
reasons of why this job was so right, but let me plow on to the grim
adventures ahead.
Phil and I disagreed about virtually everything, and I felt that he never did
anything that he said he was going to do to support my job. And yet the
arguments didn’t amount to anger

Penny
One day when I worked for Penny in the ‘90s, I said
that we needed to come to work every day with “more
courage.”
“I feel like I show courage every day just coming to
work,” she said. And of course she did. Understanding
another person’s life is a long, long process, and it
somehow wasn’t until I turned 60 that I began to see
that.
Heidi
Heidi was pregnant with her first daughter Ava when I
had my first going away party from the Parsons in 1998,
but she hadn’t told anyone because she felt it would
jeopardize her tenure case.
My sister Jennifer came to the party and congratulated
Heidi on being pregnant. Heidi turned white sand
dragged me to her office and blasted me for breaking
her confidentiality.
But life goes on, friendships survive. It’s part of being an
adult to have that space in the system for mistakes.
Colette
Colette’s inappropriate” reply to me was inappropriate
in itself to me, but I can’t make that case. Only senior
faculty peers can. But if they don’t particulate in the
process, are simply uninvolved in any leadership role,
then there’s no voice to make the case for a better
path.
Colette’s implacable resentment and opposition is
simply an extreme version of the same strategies that
Penny and Heidi employed, but sustainability makes
those responses no longer viable or excusable.

Norms of civil
behavior
The one thing that MIT used to stand
for was basic decency. Treating
anther person with respect.
The toxic combination of Colette, Jesse, Markus, Bori, and Angela
combined into something much worse than any one of them alone.
But standing up to that requires something that MIT simply isn’t equipped
to handle.
Acknowledge an honest apology.
You don’t have to accept it. You don’t need to make any
changes whatsoever. But you do have to acknowledge that
someone has tried. If you don’t, then what a miserable world
of implacable, unreachable resentment.
Don’t lie
That one is simple, isn’t it?
Be honest and clear
Markus told Phil that a letter of notice could not be withdrawn
once it had been submitted to Human Resources (not true), so
I would have to reapply for my position when it was posted.
It may seem that Jesse, Colette, Bori, Angela and Markus’
animus is solely directed at me, but it’s much larger than me. I
was just the person on the spot who bore the brunt of it.
On the positive side, I noted that Colette had access to
Building 1 funds that Phil as Parsons Director didn’t have. So

Norms of Civil
Society
With the world falling apart
around us, it may seem
absurd to worry about norms
of civil society. And yet they
matter.
Respect for another person
Don’t lie
If someone has helped you, at the very least don’t do them harm
in return.

The Endgame
My last two weeks at the Parsons Lab
were ugly indeed.
And the only way I can describe is to say that it was a violation of civil
norms. I know that sounds absurd, and a bit much. But lying, disrespect,
gratuitous meanness

Welcome to the
It looks like this because none of the
faculty who share the Lab are on
speaking terms with each other.
Equipment that hasn’t been used in years. Shuttered windows. Quick fixes
that remain in place for years. No big deal.

Colette Heald
Nothing toward me, simply resentment
toward Phil for arguing about the
location of her research group’s desks.
Jesse Kroll
No opinion.

Post-MIT Accusations

I send a PDF describing my work as
Building Manager to the Parsons-All
mailing list and I am reported as a
“cyberstalker” to MIT Information

career as a web developer.
August 14, 2018
I announce a summer house party
and receive a phone call from MIT
HR Officer Michelle Coyne:
“We heard about the party you’re
having.”
Subject: Request for a meeting
To: "Martin A. Schmidt", Cynthia Barnhart
Cc: Nicholas Diehl
Dear Provost Schmidt and Chancellor Barnhart,
An MIT HR Officer phoned me today and told me not to “go
near any CEE building” because someone inside feels
“threatened by me.”
This is a very serious charge, and I apologize in advance for
the barrage of attached emails and documents I’m
submitting in my defense. I’ve spent the day trying to frame a
proper reply, not to the accusation or to HR, but to… I’m not
entirely sure. I’ve been at MIT for 27 years, and feel that I’ve
made a distinguished contribution. But the things I’ve
bumped my head on are the same things that MIT has
bumped its head on, and the world as well… but that bumps
and bruises don’t constitute a reason for a meeting, so
perhaps all I can do at present is submit this protest at the
way I’ve been treated.
Kind regards and thanks,
Ed Carlevale
PS: I’ll marshal that barrage of documents in my defense at
another time. For now I’m attaching two documents that

Open Letters

A bad game of telephone
Colette’s “inappropriate” morphs into
“threatening behavior” and cyberstalking,
and there’s nothing, absolutely nothing
So on my website, I tried to write a series of Open Letters, to Penny, Heidi,
and to others, to show why what was happening to me was relevant to the
whole, and to explain the role of the by standing silence in the overall dynamic.
Open Letter to Heidi Nepf
…Heidi, did you realize when I asked you and Ian and Ava and Isabel to be Halloween judges, I was trying to strengthen your connection to the lab?
Colette’s “inappropriate” morphed into Bori’s “threatening behavior,” and suddenly my career, and my ability to support myself, is over. And there’s absolutely nothing I
can do. I can write a very long list of the many, many women I have helped at MIT, and you are one of them. Penny, and many, many others. But if you don’t feel helped,
then you don’t feel any need to help in return.

Parsons fleet of websites
For 10 years I had been trying to build
their web development structure at MIT,
and at Parsons I finally had the go-ahead
Parsons fleet of websites
I created a fleet of websites, one for every Parsons faculty, that could tell a unified story of say, the global arsenic cycle; that managed publications, news stories, that
could feed into their annual eRP profile record, and much, much more.
Jesse and Colette couldn’t be bothered to join the other Parsons faculty when I presented the sites in March 2017, and Building 1 couldn’t have cared less.
But it meant something to junior faculty and post-docs. It took one item off their plate, and delivered something that was far more powerful than anything they could do
on their own.

Colette Heald
Associate Department Head, Department
of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Meanwhile, back at the Parsons Lab
Life goes on.
In late December 2016, Dara suggested to Penny and Martin to ask me to apply for the position of Assistant to the Director, and I did, and it
proved to be a bizarrely right fit for my skills that I would never have found in the normal course of things.
Before I started at the Lab, I met with Dara, who explained where things were at at the Lab. He said that things weren’t good, and he cited the
conflict between the Lab Director Phil Gschwend and the Department’s Associate Director Colette Heald.
He said the lab needed a ‘mother hen.’
But the conflict had much, much deeper roots than Dara could acknowledge, and had moved into a new phase when I started at the Parsons
in January 2017. The Parsons Lab had always insisted on autonomy even though it was within the Department of Civil and Environmental

September 16, 2019
To President Rafael Reif and Provost Marty Schmidt:
We write as senior women faculty members (current and emerita) of MIT to share our deep
distress over the MIT/Epstein revelations and our profound disappointment in learning of the
apparent complicity of administrative leadership. We write also to encourage efforts to uncover
the truth about and learn from the current crisis. This letter is a call for integrity and action.
From various departments across MIT, we are gravely concerned about the situation that has
emerged: Institute leaders, faculty, and lab directors at MIT may have violated campus
fundraising procedures. They certainly violated Institute values not only by accepting money
from, but also by inviting onto campus Jeffrey Epstein, a “level three” (high risk of repeat
offense) registered sex offender. MIT cultivated a relationship with Epstein over time that
rewarded, empowered, and elevated him. With the approval of administrative leadership, faculty
and staff attempted to conceal that relationship from those they knew it would disturb. Some
students and staff who were asked to collude were made to feel morally compromised. Taking
Epstein’s money suggested a willingness to turn a blind eye to the impact of his crimes, which
included procuring the prostitution of a minor. The fact that this situation was even thinkable at
MIT is profoundly disturbing, and is symptomatic of broader, more structural problems, involving
gender and race, in MIT’s culture. It is time for fundamental change.
You have appointed the Goodwin Procter law firm to investigate fundraising practices and MIT
personnel involved in this situation. This investigation follows a series of loudly-voiced concerns
about MIT's acceptance of funding from controversial sources. While the ethics of fundraising
are crucially important to us, we also strongly believe that the significant gender and sexual
implications of the MIT/Epstein relationship must not be lost in these financial investigations
and discussions.
Epstein’s victims, survivors, and their families have experienced additional degradation and
damage because of MIT’s actions, as have our students, faculty, and staff. By allowing Epstein’s
MIT relationships to flourish, the Institute failed in its obligation to provide a safe and supportive
environment. Knowing that Epstein was invited to campus offices, survivors of sexual assault,
rape, and/or sexual abuse — of whom there are many in this community — have been shaken.
How can MIT’s leadership be trusted when it appears that child prostitution and sex trafficking
can be ignored in exchange for a financial contribution?
Working to address its long history of gender inequity, MIT has enacted some positive measures
over the years to attract and retain women students and faculty and to support them on campus.
Yet those efforts are now at risk of being eroded. Epstein’s clandestine donations and visits to
MIT are a stark reminder that “cutting edge” spaces of “technological innovation,” at MIT no
less than elsewhere, remain exclusionary zones of privilege. [1] Too often, academic fundraising
efforts and the projects that follow reinforce, rather than dismantle, gendered and racialized
hierarchies. [2] In 2019/20, there are 1,066 faculty members at MIT. Only 266 of them are women
(178 are tenured; 88 are untenured; of all women only 21 are women of color). The Epstein
situation has prompted many to question MIT’s commitment to meaningful inclusion. Members
of our community have been left feeling undervalued, deceived, and unsafe.
How will MIT respond? MIT leadership regularly describes and celebrates the fact that our
values and diversity are essential to building a better world. Yet, to our great and heartfelt
dismay, MIT’s relationship with Epstein exposes a void where basic values should prevail, a
cultural crisis that the administration must work to repair. Much needs to be done: from a
thorough review of resource development practices and the inclusion of broader faculty
participation in and oversight of fundraising, to providing robust support and resources to the
women on campus. But that is just the beginning.
Former MIT President Chuck Vest is remembered for conducting a gender equity study in 1999,
led by Professor Nancy Hopkins, and implementing many of its recommendations. How will the
current MIT administration be remembered?
Sincerely,
cc: Rick Danheiser, Chair of the Faculty

Angels in America and Arcadia
Open Letters: Dear Heidi and Penny,
“…One of my favorite memories of the five years I worked for
Penny was the play reading we had done at her house with
Angels in America. Just two perfect evenings. And the idea that
you and I were going to try to do something similar with
Arcadia, a play that we had all loved when you and I and Ian and
Trish first saw it, seemed really wonderful, and losing that a real
loss…
You both study systems — Heidi, the ecology of wetlands, and
Penny of oceans. So it amazes me that you don’t see yourselves
as part of a system. The actions that I suffered the brunt of were
actually driven by the autonomy and independence that all
senior Parsons faculty insist on, from MIT, from CEE. And neither
of you will take on any leadership role for the same reason…

Sustainabilit

System
At a 2017 Town Meeting,
CEE Department Head
said that he had tried to
raise $10 million from
CEE already has two great buildings and
arguably the two best locations at MIT. But
none of the faculty inside those buildings
are on speaking terms with each other.
And the relationship between the two
buildings is even worse.
Dysfunction is a sustainability issue.

Mobius
In order to serve as effective coordinators of an
increasingly fragmented and disjointed ecosystem,
cities must adopt a regulatory posture that makes it
advantageous for all participants in the ecosystem to
aCleaning
In this model, the city would emphasize planning
and procuring, not just the provision of services, and
would require the sharing of certain data in order to
create a platform that would provide clarity on
pricing and availability to all permitted suppliers of
mobility services. And it would do so in a way that
defrays some of the city’s costs associated with
maintaining the curb space and related roadway.
Mobius
The increased private-sector deployment of
connected mobility services brings with it increased
competition for space on public streets.16 Therefore,
fees should be imposed on activities in proportion to
the degree to which those activities use scarce
public space, impose costsExterior systems.
Signage
Too often, the story behind regulation has been
dictated by the funder or provider of the service and
not by the city itself. Taxi wars have been fought
about control of.

hi heidi, i hope you and the family are all well. i was in the lab a
few weeks ago trying to gather more of my stuff and i couldn’t
track down that large oversized printer i had. John macfarlane
suggested you might know something as it was among that
stuff i piled outside your lab. (not on the recycle rack, but on
the table opposite.) it cost $800 and i paid out of pocket, so
i’m anxious to track it down.
yikes, off-topic, but what a nightmare this post-parsons period
has been. bori has said i was a cyber stalker (because of that
‘building manager’ pdf i sent to the parsons mailing list. and
it’s had extraordinary consequences for me. incredibly, i’ve
been warned to stay away from cee buildings. which is why i
haven’t been by to visit.

I was surprised to find that the shelf you chose for recycling was in fact my shelf that you removed from the teaching
lab. That shelf was holding my teaching equipment, and my teaching equipment was left haphazardly around on the
floor and countertop. There are several items that I cannot locate, including inserts for the flume models and mats of
coconut fiber used to damp waves in the channels. Do you know where you might have put them? When I moved my
shelving back into the teaching lab, I recycled items that had been left on the shelving. I recall some computer items
that were subsequently picked up by MIT tech recycling. I don’t remember seeing a table opposite the shelving.
