Students & Faculty Proximity

MIT’s core advantages are its reputation and its ability to bring together world-class students and faculty

Inseparability of education and research

The faculty value both research and teaching highly, and would be uncomfortable with proposals that decrease the research emphasis

Research and teaching should continue to be linked and synergistic

Improving the quality of the on-campus experience is a high priority

Uniqueness of the MIT community

Preserving the quality of the MIT community is a high priority, and strengthening it is desirable

MIT is unwilling to compromise on student standards for enrollment in degree programs

Intimate student/faculty interactions should be preserved and enhanced

Faculty time is the limiting resource in innovation

MIT values Excellence: MIT should be an intellectual leader in all of its chosen fields

Entrepreneurship: The culture of entrepreneurship and faculty autonomy must be preserved

Single- class faculty: Any expansion of the faculty would need to adhere to MIT’s relatively tight definition of faculty, in which all faculty participate in teaching, research and service.
