MIT refuses Trump administration’s proposal for policy changes in exchange for fed funds

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology turned down a Trump administration deal that would have given it benefits from the government if it conformed to Republican policy priorities.
MIT was one of nine elite schools to which the administration offered the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” deal earlier this month.
The school became the first to deny it publicly on Friday, citing the college’s values of free expression and “the core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.”

If they don't want the cash then that's their decision.

Oh well, screw 'em. We toured MIT last August and my two sons played in their annual basketball camp. It felt like we were behind enemy lines all week. They recently hired a new basketball coach and in his bio it listed that he was also some kind of DEI coordinator and head of the "racial reconciliation committee" at his last school. We went up there hoping that MIT was less woke than the Ivies, but that was not the case.
On a humorous side note, you never saw so many Asian basketball players in one spot! Probably 50% of the 200 or so participants were Asian (even the recruited athletes need SAT scores well into the 1500's and an A in AP Calculous to be seriously considered).

Well we tried the nice way, time to get the Civil Rights division of the DOJ involved. DEI is just another acronym for racial discrimination.

One of the main reasons this country is failing our younger generations and falling behind. Just think our supposed premier institutions discriminate against our best and brightest young minds. This 'diversity is our strength' BS needs be completely yanked out by the roots at these institutions.

Time to cut off all govt grants, federal work pipelines, ohhhh and international student and teacher visas.
If you can stand on your own 2 feet without govt assistance, then have at it. But no whining.
