"Reflects on", sure, but rather weakly. Nobody's going to lose much
sleep if a Harvard student flames somebody on a mailing list somewhere,
and it won't have much effect on Harvard's reputation, because it's
generally understood that there are lots of silly people at universities,
and that no attempt is made to control their behavior.
