Sally Kornbluth, the president of MIT, rejected a proposed agreement by the Trump administration, which includes principles that contradict the values of the institution, such as restricting freedom of expression. The document calls for universities to exclude criteria such as sex and ethnicity in admission processes and to adhere to strict biological definitions of gender. Universities can choose not to comply with these requirements, but risk losing federal financial advantages. Responses from other universities are expected by October 20.
