The MIT Report<a href="#cite_note-MITReport-94">[94]</a> found that "donations to MIT were driven either by former Media Lab Director Joi Ito or by <a href="/wiki/Seth_Lloyd" title="Seth Lloyd">Seth Lloyd</a>, a professor of mechanical engineering and physics, not by MIT's central administration". However, the report also states that certain members of MIT's Senior Team "were aware of, and approved, Epstein's donations to support Ito and the Media Lab". Furthermore, the report found that "contrary to certain media reports, neither Epstein nor his foundations was ever coded as 'disqualified' in MIT's donor systems. Further, the code 'disqualified' does not mean that a person or entity is 'blacklisted' or prohibited from donating to the institute. Rather, the term 'disqualified' is a database code for any donor who previously donated to MIT but presently is dormant or is no longer interested in giving to MIT."<a href="#cite_note-MITReport-94">[94]</a><a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a> The report's executive summary ends with the finding that "since MIT had no policy or processes for handling controversial donors in place at the time, the decision to accept Epstein's post-conviction donations cannot be judged to be a policy violation. But it is clear that the decision was the result of collective and significant errors in judgment that resulted in serious damage to the MIT community." <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Center_for_Radical_Transformation_at_CIT_(2021–)">Center for Radical Transformation at CIT (2021–)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Joi_Ito&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Center for Radical Transformation at CIT (2021–)">edit</a>]</div> In December 2021, Ito was appointed as the director of the Center for Radical Transformation (CRT) at <a href="/wiki/Chiba_Institute_of_Technology" title="Chiba Institute of Technology">Chiba Institute of Technology</a>, Japan.<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a> He also is a member of CIT's Board of Trustees. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chiba_Institute_of_Technology">Chiba Institute of Technology</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Joi_Ito&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Chiba Institute of Technology">edit</a>]</div> In June 2023, Ito was named the 14th President of the Chiba Institute of Technology.<a href="#cite_note-chiba-pdf-97">[97]</a><a href="#cite_note-chiba-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-bio-chiba-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-company-chiba-3">[3]</a> His first public appearance as President is at the Japan-U.S. Research Collaboration Week.<a href="#cite_note-jst-stanford-chiba-98">[98]</a> In September 2023, he outlined his vision for the future of Chiba Institute of Technology in the President's Message.<a href="#cite_note-presidents-message-2023-99">[99]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Bibliography">Bibliography</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Joi_Ito&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Bibliography">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite id="CITEREFItoHowe2016" class="citation book cs1"><a class="mw-selflink selflink">Ito, Joi</a>; Howe, Jeff (2016).
