You have to hand it to MIT’s admissions office when it comes to tone-deaf chutzpah.
Not only has MIT been brazenly discriminating against male undergraduate applicants for decades. Not only are 75% of MIT’s admissions officers woke females. Not only does the Admissions Office prominently feature the fact that its Assistant Director lists race-grifting impresario Ibram Kendi’s “How to be Antiracist” as her favorite book.
Now they have chosen a mind-virus-infected antisemitic female social justice warrior as an outreach ambassador to prospective applicants. Right in the middle of a congressional investigation into antisemitism at MIT, alongside calls from many Jewish alumni recommending that Jews stop applying to their formerly beloved alma mater.
Even the Beaver couldn’t make this up.
The question, “Hey, who is in charge of this circus?” has been circulating ever since MIT’s new president Spineless Sally Kornbluth came on board and made zero changes to the bloated and dysfunctional administrative staff she inherited from failed past president Rafael Reif.
These would be the administrators that sanctioned the cancellation of astrophysicist Dorian Abbot for the crime of questioning DEIdeology. The administrators that declared MIT and all of science systemically racist, requiring heaping helpings of mandatory indoctrination to cure unconscious bias and white privilege. The administrators that recruited an army of DEI Deans and set up more whack-job social justice programs than you can shake a limp wrist at.
