I notice that Susan Hockfield, President of MIT, is on the board of directors of GE. What’s that all about? (Yes, prestige for GE.) She can’t do much for GE when she’s got MIT to worry about. She should be embarrassed to be associated with such an unsuccessful enterprise as GE. President Hockfield should either start working to get rid of Immelt and his cronies or resign from the board in favor of somebody who will. In fact, I’m not giving any more money to MIT until she does one or the other.

Ironic that you should post a complaint like that on a video of the president of MIT. Ever heard of Open Course Ware (OCW)?
