  • The Massachusetts Institute of Technology reports its incoming Class of 2028 has 16% minority students, a drop of 10 percentage points compared to previous years, following the Supreme Court's decision.
  • MIT Dean of Admissions Stu Schmill stated he expected this decline, noting many qualified applicants were likely overlooked due to changes in application processes.
  • MIT President Sally Kornbluth acknowledged the new intake is "outstanding," but lacks the same racial and ethnic diversity achieved in past decades due to the court ruling.
