The MIT Corporation

The MIT Corporation is the governing body responsible for overseeing the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It functions as the institution's board of trustees, making major decisions about policies, finances, and strategic direction. Comprising members who often include alumni, faculty, and other stakeholders, the Corporation ensures the university's mission of advancing knowledge and educating students aligns with its long-term goals. It operates independently of university administration but collaboratively with leadership to uphold MIT’s standards of excellence and innovation.
