> “Outside of Sloan and the EECS MEng program, still in the midst of admissions, compared with 2024, our departments’ new enrollments for next year are down close to 20%.

That means that, in total, outside of Sloan, we could have about 500 fewer graduate students. Which means we’ll have many fewer students advancing the work of MIT, and undergraduates will have fewer grad students as mentors in their research.”

Not sure the HN title meets the no-editorialised-titles rule. (EDIT: Nvm, misread or title may have changed.)

This is about Trump, not AI
