Activist professors and graduate students from MIT’s School of Humanities, Arts, and Socialist Scientism (SHASS) have formed a new affinity group dedicated to eradicating innumerophobia in STEM.

“Just because most SHASS professors and graduate students outside the Economics Department can’t do math doesn’t mean we’re not worthy of assuming leadership positions at the world’s foremost STEM university,” explained Sally Hunsacker, Edsel Professor of Misgendered Studies.  “Just look at Chancellor Melissa Nobles. She couldn’t pass MIT freshman calculus if her life depended on it. Yet she did a great job climbing the leadership ladder by bamboozling everyone into believing that STEM is systemically racist.”

Innumeracy allies from the MIT Media Lab, the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, SOLVE, and the Architecture Department applauded the move, openly speaking about being made to feel like second class citizens.

“We were so disappointed when MIT reinstated the math SAT requirement for undergraduate admissions,” explained the SHASS Associate Dean of Imposter Syndrome Support. “It’s a good thing we can still recruit graduate students who wouldn’t know what a second derivative was if it bit them in the keister.”
