Adorno demanded Institute support as an insider, not an applicant.

Evidence

Adorno, for his part, accused the Institute of having left him behind uninformed and without instructions. … For precisely as long as I was not part of the Institute outwardly or administrativelyand you know that I had been pressing to become a part of it again and again for many years, more or less like a girlfriend pressing to get marriedit was not for me, but for the Institute, to take the decisive step … I was in no sense an outsider who would have had to be supported: I wasas I may say, and as I conclude from your letterpart and parcel of the Institute itself, just like yourself, Pollock and Lowenthal. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 631 (#qualifies, via linked claim)

In his reply, Adorno once again embraced both Horkheimer and the common cause without any reservations. It was Tillich, he claimed, who had undoubtedly been the person responsible for misunderstandings which had taken place after March 1933. The reasons for his impression that there was a policy of secretiveness towards him at the Institute before March 1933 were clearly not Horkheimer’s fault but his friend Pollock’s. Pollock had a psychological tendency towards secretiveness, and Lowenthal had used this tendency of Pollock’s against him, Adorno, in the manner of power politics. … He said that writing a review of Pareto might perhaps be a way of making Korsch useful'. He gave a warning against Borkenau. He offered a contribution of his own on some matters of principle’ to do with the complex questions of psychoanalysis (‘I might have reservations here about a false, external division of labour’), and would begin with Reich, because Reich, unlike Fromm, maintained that individual psychology could not be smoothly transferred to social theory. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 639 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
