MIT's  Community and Equity Office

The following links  are to offices and procedures at MIT that address complaints that may be legitimate or may be attempts to restrict free speech and as such, need careful attention. The Equity and Inclusion Office is mostly about policies unrelated to free speech (e.g., MLK programs, inclusive restrooms,  the ad hoc committee on arts, culture, and DEI), but some of its activities are closely related to MFSA's mission.
