A Painful Personal Reality and a Call to MIT Faculty
To The Faculty Newsletter:
I’m a long-time Cambridge resident and retired educator, and I wanted to share how touching and sad it was to read Richard Solomon’s letter “A Painful Personal Reality and a Call to MIT Faculty” published in the November/December edition. I hope you publish more stories by students and champion divestment more generally. MIT faculty like Noam Chomsky used to be bold and morally courageous. I hope to see more of that from you all.
Blessings,

Question About the Faculty Newsletter
To The Faculty Newsletter:
I have been on MIT staff as a research engineer at Haystack for 15 years but today is the first day I found out that there was a Faculty Newsletter, because a coworker forwarded the Newsletter link on Slack (the latest issue is on the topic of overhead costs, which of course directly affects my work).
I have no idea if I am the only off-campus researcher who is unaware of the Faculty Newsletter.
I just thought I’d let you know.
Sincerely,
Bob S.
