Update – Senior House @MIT #SaveSeniorHouse @MITstudents
Here’s an update to our previous post “Senior House Art @MIT #SaveSeniorHouse @MITstudents.” We asked if Chancellor Barnhart was up for an interview. We offered to send the questions over in advance and they could have been answered via email. We were told by current and former MIT students, the answer would likely be… no. Here is the reply we received:
“Chancellor Barnhart asked me to respond to your interview request on her behalf. While she appreciates the invitation, she is traveling right now and is unavailable. In case it is helpful, the letter she sent about Senior House to undergraduates last week is available here (http://orgchart.mit.edu/node/5/letters_to_community/important-update-about-housing-and-community). Thank you for reaching out.” – Senior Communications Officer, Office of the Chancellor.
Senior House has been shut down. Please help us by signing this and sharing it widely!

“Defiance, the bold resistance to an opposing force or authority, has been a catalyst for positive change throughout human history. Thoughtful defiance in any institution—governments, courts, labs, universities, businesses, or places of worship—means taking ownership of action and putting oneself at risk to advance society.”
