CTAN update: mitthesis
The mitthesis class formats an MIT thesis according to the current requirements of the MIT Libraries. This class is new in 2023, and it is a complete replacement for the original mitthesis.cls written in the 1980s. In this update, text spacing on the cover page has been improved, including the addition of user macros for finer control. Minor changes have been to the underlying the underlying code, some for better compatibility with [future] tagged pdf. Documentation has been revised.

mitthesis – A LaTeX template for an MIT thesis
This class provides a LaTeX template for an MIT thesis or dissertation formatted according to the requirements of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (as posted in 2023): https://libraries.mit.edu/distinctive-collections/thesis-specs/
This template is appropriate for an MIT thesis or MIT dissertation of any type.
This template works with either pdfLaTeX or unicode engines such as LuaLaTeX.
The bibliography can be prepared with either biblatex (default) or natbib/bibtex.
The class is based on current LaTeX distributions, ideally 11/2022 or later, but compatible with distributions back to 2020.
This template replaces the older version of mitthesis.cls, which was first composed in the 1980s.
