An upstart Massachusetts Institute of Technology group said it plans to continue to fight for free speech and open debate heading into its second semester.
While not all students and faculty agree with Students for Open Inquiry’s speakers, “they appreciate the significance of our mission in the grand scheme of restoring free speech to campus,” Spencer Sindhusen told The College Fix via email. Sindhusen said he is the “co-pilot” of the new group.
MITSOI will host more speakers for MIT students and the general public in the spring, such as MIT Emeritus Professor Richard Lindzen, “who [the university] has censored due to his unconventional views on climate science,” Sindhusen told The Fix.
On Nov. 30, the group hosted Steve Kirsch (pictured, right), an entrepreneur, inventor, and COVID-19 vaccine critic, who delivered a talk on vaccine data and censorship in academia, The Fix previously reported.
