    MIT rejects Trump administration deal for priority federal funding

    MIT is one of the nine schools that were asked to agree to adopt conservative priorities and policies in exchange for funding perks.

    MIT’s president turned down the Trump administration’s offer of priority access for federal funding Friday, publicly releasing a letterthat emphasized the eliteuniversity’s values including free expression and “the core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.”

    Last week, the Trump administration offered nine universities a “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education,” presented as an opportunity to receive competitive advantages from the federal government and from private donors for institutions that sign on. It was the latest attempt by the administration to force colleges into compliance with President Donald Trump’s ideological priorities, after months of federal research funding freezes and investigations into schools’ adherence to civil rights laws.

    The administration asked the schools to, among other changes, agree to prohibit consideration of factors such as gender, race or political views in admissions, scholarships or programming; freeze tuition for five years; adopt a strict definition of gender; and maintain neutrality at all levels when representing the institution. In a letter to universities, administration officials asked for feedback to the compact by Oct. 20.

    One higher education leader in Texas immediately said it was an honor to be among the first schools asked to participate, and a White House official said other colleges had asked to sign on.

  5. Swansea experts awarded £1.2 million for test that could transform stroke care

    The three‑year project, led by Swansea University Medical School in partnership with Swansea Bay University Health Board and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), aims to create the first accurate test to measure how blood clots break down.

    Tackling a leading cause of death

    Stroke remains the fourth leading cause of death in Wales. Current treatment involves administering powerful clot‑busting drugs, but doctors have no precise way of knowing the right dose for each patient.

    Professor Karl Hawkins, who is leading the project, explained:

    “A blood clot will form to stop bleeding, and eventually the body dissolves it. That process is called fibrinolysis. At the moment there is no accurate technique to quantify this process. Our approach, using rheology, allows us to pinpoint the exact moment a clot breaks down.”

    Safer, more personalised treatment

    The team hopes the test will act as a biomarker, helping clinicians predict how well clot‑busting drugs will work for individual patients. That could reduce the risk of dangerous side‑effects such as bleeding, while ensuring patients receive the most effective treatment.

    Dr Suresh Pillai, Director of the Welsh Centre for Emergency Medicine Research at Morriston Hospital, said:

    “These drugs cost around £600 a time and must be given within four and a half hours of symptoms. But every patient is different. We don’t know if we are over‑dosing or under‑dosing. If this test works, it would be groundbreaking. It would have a huge impact on how we manage patients.”

    International collaboration

    The project will draw on expertise from Swansea University’s Complex Fluids Research Group and MIT’s Professor Gareth McKinley. Initial work will test blood samples from healthy volunteers before moving to stroke patients at Morriston Hospital.

    The aim is to develop a single test that can measure both clot formation and breakdown, paving the way for pharmaceutical companies to design safer, more effective medicines.

    Looking to the future

    Dr Pillai added that in the longer term, the test could even allow clot‑busting drugs to be given in the community rather than waiting for hospital admission.

    “Every second matters in stroke care. If we can bring treatment closer to patients, the benefits for survival and recovery could be enormous.”

    The £1.2 million funding has been awarded by the UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
