That is correct.
I asked him about it once. He's proud of that piece and thinks the source is irrelevant. He sees non-merit admissions criteria as a blight, teenage Mamdani as nefarious and - before you ask - does not care much whether the poor can still access higher ed once they're gone.

This website is 50% Philadelphian by volume, already a volatile breed, but then we got stuck in six foot snowdrifts for two weeks and when it finally melted we got two feet more.

Indeed. He took a pretty dim view of himself and his work was full of self-recrimination.
While it would be irresponsible to say that was the reason for his suicide, it's also true that the characters in his fiction that felt that way about themselves didn't meet happy ends.
A person who did terrible shit. Also a person who thought very deeply about decency and duty to others.
It's convenient in cases of "great artist awful person" to gesture at the contradictions, but every so often the awful person is not making art despite their moral quandaries, but about them.
