Adorno was excluded from Institute membership over philosophical and financial reasons.
Evidence
His wish to become an official member of the Institute was not met by Horkheimer and Pollock. This may have been partly because of Horkheimer’s rejection of the `interpretative’ philosophy supported by Adorno, but it may also have been partly to avoid financial commitments to Adorno, who was well provided for by his family. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 158
