MIT rejected the compact. Here is the statement of the MIT chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP): docs.google.com/document/u/0/d…

Here is a clear analysis of the compact: newrepublic.com/article/201376…

Here is the text of the "compact" sent by the Trump administration to 9 US Universities: Brown, Vanderbilt, University of Southern California, University of Virginia, U Penn, MIT, Dartmouth College,.....: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/washingtonexaminer.com/wp-content/upl…

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
