Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler's return to MIT as a professor has sparked backlash from the crypto industry. Some leaders in the industry, including Tyler Winklevoss and Eric Voorhees, have called for a boycott of hiring MIT graduates as long as Gensler is associated with the university. They argue that Gensler's strict regulatory approach during his time at the SEC was detrimental to blockchain innovation. However, others argue that it is unfair to punish students for a decision made by the university and that the boycott could potentially result in the sector missing out on talented individuals. MIT has not yet indicated whether it will reconsider its decision to rehire Gensler.
