<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I expect many of you are aware of the homophobic postering and messaging that occurred at MIT last week. As explained in the email from Suzy Nelson and John Dozier, below,
this appears to have been done as a commentary on and protest against the free expression statement that was recently approved by the MIT faculty. I personally found these posters shocking and upsetting, exactly as was intended. Though I respect the right
of individuals to protest a free expression statement with which they disagree, I am disappointed and frustrated that the protesters chose an approach that targeted a specific group in a hateful way. Regardless of the intent, these actions hurt members of
our community. We will seek to support those affected while promoting productive discussion. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I expect that dialog about free expression will continue to be provocative and challenging, as we wrestle with the idea that free speech protects the right of people to
say harmful things. This must be countered by sincere efforts to live our MIT and department values of inclusion, respect, and civility. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Please know that many in our community were personally affected by this incident. Thus, although we aspire to create a culture of inclusion <b>every</b> day, today is a
good time to reaffirm our support for the talented and dedicated students, staff, and faculty of diverse identities – including LGBTQIA+ identities – who contribute so much to our department. Words and actions that reflect our commitment to inclusion, as well
as a commitment to basic human kindness, will be important as MIT engages in dialog about free expression.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
