U.S. Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) recently celebrated Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s decision to reject a deal from the Trump administration, leading to a public dispute with Stephen Miller.
Trump adviser Stephen Miller chimed in on that post, writing, “MIT is a federally funded and financed institution. The US government asked MIT, as one of America’s largest recipients of taxpayer dollars, to certify that students and professors will be hired based on objective merit and not skin color.”
“Undergrad tuition is privately funded at MIT with a few exceptions like Pell grants which apply to all colleges,” Massie wrote. “I trust MIT more than any party at the White House to know which 18 yr olds can solve differential equations. Also, Feds policing speech on campuses is Orwellian.”
Unfortunately too many of my engineering school classmates have become hate filled old white magats. The ability to solved diffy Qs doesn’t related to empathy or morality.
Engineer’s disease is real
don’t know about your experience but i bet the majority couldn’t solve them well in class much less years later at all
curve saved well over half from failing
35 years since then for me. I couldn’t do it now for sure.
