“I believe we should all take the time to understand what constitutes sexual misconduct – because every one of us in the MIT community can contribute to the solution. We need to care for each other, and listen to each other with compassion and respect. We need to intervene when we see someone in a vulnerable situation, or when we sense an abuse of trust and power. At MIT, we hold ourselves to high standards in many realms. I believe we should do the same in how we treat one another.”

—MIT President L. Rafael Reif
