We, the undersigned MIT faculty members, urge that the Institute improve its written commitment to academic freedom and free expression by officially adopting the Chicago Principles, as articulated in a 2014 University of Chicago report.

The Principles have been adopted by Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, BU, and 78 other universities and colleges.
