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.
MIT committees
The Ad Hoc Working Group on Free Expression (FEWG) presented its final report on September 1, 2022. The report included a proposed statement on freedom of expression and academic freedom, as well as recommendations. The MIT Statement on Freedom of Expression and Academic Freedom was approved by the MIT faculty on December 21, 2022.
In January 2024, the Ad Hoc Committee on Academic Freedom and Campus Expression (CAFCE) was charged to “bring together students, staff, and faculty to develop a Campus Expression Roadmap for the Institute.” The roadmap will build upon the recommendations of the FEWG report. The committee is co-chaired by Professors Michael Sipser and Anette (Peko) Hosoi. See the full membership.
