Horkheimer and Pollock initially refused Adorno’s membership in the Institute

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. — <cite>Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 158</cite> (#corroborates`, via linked claim)
