Housing Problems for MIT Staff

To The Faculty Newsletter:

Your last newsletter on housing issues was fascinating reading. Of particular interest was the attention given to the difficulties junior faculty face when deciding to come to MIT over other competitive universities. Housing costs in Boston, indeed, must be a challenge for new faculty.

Imagine how difficult it is for administrative, support, and service staff who have significantly lower salaries, bigger school loans, and smaller annual increases. Luckily for young faculty, they can look forward to the promise of a fat salary by the end of their career to alleviate the pain of early salad days.

Sincerely,

Mindy Baugham
