The ceremony took place following MIT President Sally Kornbluth’s announcement that the Institute Community and Equity Office (ICEO) would close after an 18-month internal review. MIT’s review of its DEI office began before US President Donald Trump’s return to office. The Trump administration has threatened to freeze federal funding for many universities, including Harvard, citing campus protests in support of Palestine and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs. The administration has pulled $3 billion in funding and threatened to take away Harvard's tax-exempt status.
