-<h4>Consent to send thesis to ProQuest</h4>
-<div class="proquest">
-  <p>We are conducting a pilot program to provide additional open access to MIT theses through <a href='http://libguides.mit.edu/dissertations'>ProQuest Dissertation & Theses Global</a> (PQDT). The aim is to make theses more visible and discoverable.</p>
-  <p>There is no cost to you and your thesis will not be sent to ProQuest until it is published by MIT. See <a href='https://about.proquest.com/en/dissertations/proquest-dissertations-frequently-asked-questions/proquest-dissertations-authors-frequently-asked-questions/'>PQDT's Author Dissertations FAQs</a> for more information about participating.</p>
