The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has become the first US university to formally turn down a Trump administration proposal that would overhaul university policies in return for preferential access to federal funding.

MIT’s president, Sally Kornbluth, disclosed the decision in a Friday letter to the campus community, attaching her written response to the US education secretary, Linda McMahon.

Many private businesses get paid taxpayer money to do things. Private charities also sometimes get taxpayer money.

Anyway, MIT does good work for their money. No sane person denies that.
