MIT leadership has in the strongest terms rejected antisemitism and taken thoughtful and steadfast action to prevent it, to promote student-wellbeing, to respond to complaints raised by community members, and to address policy violations. Examples of actions MIT has taken since 2023 to address concerns of antisemitismMIT President Sally Kornbluth and other senior leaders have sent multiple campus-wide letters and video messages condemning reports of antisemitism on campus. Prior to October 7, MIT joined the Hillel Campus Climate Initiative, which helps universities build awareness of and take action against antisemitism. Learnings from that engagement continue to guide MIT’s campus response. MIT increased security […]
