From the PDF [1]: > We cannot prohibit speech that some experience as offensive or injurious. (...) A commitment to free expression includes hearing and hosting speakers, including those whose views or opinions may not be shared by many members of the MIT community and may be harmful to some. This commitment includes the freedom to criticize and peacefully protest speakers to whom one may object, but it does not extend to suppressing or restricting such speakers from expressing their views. Reasonable stance IMO. As far as I can tell, MIT did not adopt the Chicago Statement [2], so it's nice to see a proposal like this, which seems substantially similar.
