DEI is DOA at MIT

I was proud to see that MIT canceled the DEI-statement requirement, the first prestigious school in the nation to do so (“No more DEI oath for MIT,” May 7).

Recently I heard Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard University and a fellow undergraduate of MIT, speak. In response to a question about what he thinks is necessary in the public realm today, he responded with JFK’s quote asking “not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” This step by MIT was in the right direction.
