MIT Proposes 0% Raise for Police Amid Executive Pay Hikes
What happened
MIT presented a three-year contract proposal to the MIT Police Association that offers 0% raises in the first year and no guaranteed wage increases in years two and three. This proposal comes as MIT's top executives received average raises of 16.7% in 2025.
