As an MIT grad I can tell you these schools are committing suicide and deserve it.
MIT has not been as bad as the others but they are still messing up. I know many including myself who withhold donations now. Sure they are filthy endowment rich but new grads aren’t the givers and won’t be. Death spiral unless they change their ways
My MIT donation is sent entirely to their cancer research center.
The previous MIT president (from Venezuela) was an extreme wokester (requiring “diversity” training, etc.). I hope that the new woman president (a biologist like me) will be better!
Meanwhile, Harvard (my Ph.D. alma mater) goes downhill, with incoming president Claudine Gay, a non-scholarly ideologue. Only a Supreme Court ruling against race-based admission policies, followed by Ms. Gay resigning in disgust, can save Harvard!!
I thought MIT was a holdout against racist admissions policies. That is no longer true?
My mom is an alum of a private Methodist college. They are going under and is asking the taxpayer for a bailout. 🙄
