MIT ‘expels’ PhD student Prahlad Iyengar for pro-Palestine essay
MIT PhD student Prahlad Iyengar has been suspended until 2026 following a pro-Palestine essay published in a student magazine. The October issue of the magazine included the article “On Pacifism,” which featured imagery and language that “could be interpreted as a call for more violent or destructive forms of protest at MIT,” according to an email sent by MIT Dean of Student Life David Warren Randall to the editors of the magazine.
