MIT becomes latest elite university to shut down DEI office

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) closed its DEI office as President Donald Trump continues to battle with colleges and universities over DEI policies.

MIT President Sally Kornbluth shared in a letter that the Institute Community and Equity Office will be closing following a months-long review led by Vice President of Equity and Inclusion Karl Reid, who resigned from his position in February. The university’s review of DEI began before President Donald Trump took office.
