Campus resources
While MIT supports and celebrates free expression, we understand that sometimes the experience of hearing things that are within the bounds of free expression can nonetheless be upsetting. For those requiring support, DoingWell provides a comprehensive list of MIT resources for students. Undergraduates are encouraged to reach out to Student Support Services (S3), and graduate students may reach out to GradSupport. Faculty and staff can access MyLife Services.
IDHR also has a resource Protecting Yourself After Online Abuse to help community members who have been targeted and harassed online.
MIT Faculty Governance has created Guidelines for Instructors on Disruptions of Academic Activity for how to think about classroom and academic disruptions so that instructors can be prepared to manage them if they do occur.
MIT has also developed resources to learn more about identifying and combating antisemitism and Islamophobia, and frequently asked questions about Title VI.
The Chancellor's Office has created a Freedom of Expression brochure, guidance around electronic communications and a digital citizenship toolkit.
