MIT President

A letter from MIT’s president on the upcoming SCOTUS decision on race-conscious admissions. .

“MIT will follow the law. But in advance of the ruling, I want to articulate clearly and unambiguously my commitment to building on MIT’s decades-long efforts to welcome a student body that is both unparalleled in its academic excellence and vibrantly diverse…Every MIT student brings their own life experiences that enrich the education of all students, and every student is a valued and important member of our community. I believe we owe it to ourselves, to our nation and, frankly, to the world to do whatever we can, within the bounds of the law, to keep our doors open to this full breadth of human talent.”
