Institute Commitments
As we build on the Institute’s longstanding commitment to community and advance the MIT Strategic Action Plan for Belonging, Achievement, and Composition, we reflect on the status of the 2015 recommendations of the Black Students’ Union and Black Graduate Student Association; the recommendations of the NASEM working groups on gender and sexual harassment; and the commitments President Reif made in July 2020.
