This document discusses HIV/AIDS family interventions and their implications for family-focused nursing practice. It defines key concepts like "family" and describes how HIV/AIDS impacts families. Family interventions are conceptualized as acts that facilitate healthy changes in the family and can include education, psychosocial and behavioral support. Effective HIV/AIDS family interventions should consider the disease trajectory and be culturally specific. Training family nurses in intervention design and advocating for family-centered policies can improve outcomes. More research is still needed on families, interventions and the cost-effectiveness of family-focused approaches.
This document provides an overview of the Strengthening Family Coping Resources (SFCR) intervention. SFCR is a 15-week group intervention designed to help families exposed to trauma build stability, support, and coping skills through developing routines, rituals and traditions. The intervention aims to increase families' protective functions and reduce trauma symptoms. Key aspects of SFCR include skill-building for individual families, community building among participant families, and separate activities for different family members based on their roles and ages. SFCR has shown promise as an approach that treats whole families affected by complex trauma.
This research project aims to examine the family burden of people living with AIDS receiving treatment at BPKIHS. It will use an exploratory research design and survey 30 primary caregiver family members using interviews and assessments of family burden. The study hypothesizes that there will be no association between family burden and caregiver characteristics or social stigma. It seeks to understand the demographic profiles of PLWAs and their families, problems faced by caregivers, and the relationship between family burden and demographics. The results could help develop strategies to better support patients and reduce caregiver burden through education and policy changes.

ABSTRACT
Substance‐dependent mothers, who have grown up with parental
substance abuse, struggle during and after treatment to abstain from
substances while trying to process traumatic experiences and integrate
their family into society. The aim of this study was to explore the social
support available for these mothers to help them stay abstinent and cre-
ate safe family environments for themselves and their children. Using
purposeful sampling, we approached nine mothers admitted for 1 year
to a family ward at a substance abuse clinic and their significant others.
Through in‐depth, qualitative interviews, first with the mothers, later
with their significant others, we investigated characteristics of the avail-
able social support. The findings indicated that the significant others had
limited resources and were themselves exposed to adverse and cumula-
tive psychosocial and socioeconomic risk factors. Their relationships
with the mothers were, nevertheless, close, consistent and reliable.
Supporting the existing social network should be an integrated part of
the work of family welfare services aiming to help substance‐
dependent mothers from families with parental substance abuse to reha-
bilitate and to integrate successfully into local communities.
INTRODUCTION
Substance‐dependent women who have grown up in
families with substance abusing parents have major
challenges to solve when they themselves become
mothers, such as heightened risk for transferring sub-
stance abuse or psychiatric problems to their offspring
(Belsky et al., 2009) and establishing a safe and predict-
able environment for their child without substance
abusing caregivers or family members. We approached
nine women admitted to a family ward at a substance
abuse clinic to learn about the challenges these women
face and how they understand their own situation. All
mothers received inpatient treatment together with their
child during the first year after giving birth. The aim of
the treatment was twofold: learning to lead an abstinent
life and becoming able to care for a child. The first paper
from this study showed how these women’s life courses
had so far been filled with experiences with substance
abuse, traumatic events and insufficient developmental
support (Wiig e.

I. Introductory Paragraph
Ella’s case study raises a lot of concern on the rising cases on the use of alternative medicine rather than convention based on scientific backing. The scenario is related to the current increase of the patients seeking traditional medicine rather than hospital prescribed drugs. Ella had gone for remission for quite a while until when the disease became chronic when she returned to the hospital. Many people have continually sought alternative and complementary medicine because of they believe in their treatment. Ella sought alternative treatment to heal her emotionally and physically. The social, cultural background and religious beliefs of her family are also another factor that led to seeking this alternative form of treatment. It is also quite evident that cultural beliefs and other micro, mezzo, and macro factors that became a major influence in the way she made her decisions.
A. Thesis: The aim of this paper is to examine and understand how the various influences clearly depicted in Ella’s scenario would help in formulation of intervention strategies and their families deal illness situations in a proper manner.
II. Cultural or traditional issues and the integration of alternative and complementary medicine and beliefs (Holosko & Dulmus,2013).
Supporting Evidence:
a. Insistence by the American Indian grandfather on the use of the alternative medicine based on traditional healing practices
b. Cultural/traditional rituals and practices are not backed by scientific background
c. Cultural beliefs undermines the healing process of the patient
Explanation: The book is related to this scenario because it defines what alternative medicine and how the culture of a person influence the king d of healthcare they receive.
So what: Alternative and complementary medicine and beliefs, mainstream medical practices due to their safety and effective
III. Biological basis for care and impact on other family members (Gallant, Spitze & Grove,2010, p.381).
Supporting Evidence:
a. Empower patients and supporting them through proper nursing techniques
b. Knowing the patho-physiological aspect of the disease helps understand on how it is caused and how well it is important to nurse the patient well.
Explanation: There is an outline on the basis of biological care on families.
So what: Good care lead to a reduction on depression and taking of drugs
IV. Micro, mezzo and macro influences (WHO,2002).
Supporting Evidence:
1. Micro influences
a. Preference by Ella on her role in managing her condition
b. Attitudes that were showed by the family members could have some influence on the health care delivery in the hospital
c. Extend family believed in alternative medicine, which therefore undermined the provision of better nursing and treatment of the patient
2. Mezzo influences
a. Availability of vibrant information systems f.
Poverty and it's relationship to child maltreatment Volume103Tigrai Harris
1. The document discusses the relationship between poverty and child maltreatment. It notes that families living below $15,000 annual income are 22 times more likely to experience child maltreatment than families earning over $30,000.
2. Poverty is correlated with higher rates of child maltreatment, though the causal relationship is unclear. Factors associated with poverty like single parenthood, substance abuse, and poor mental/physical health also increase maltreatment risk.
3. Studies found that modest increases in income through programs like child support payments reduced likelihood of child maltreatment reports by about 10% for low-income families. Stricter welfare policies and economic hardship are also linked to higher
This document summarizes a study that interviewed representatives from 14 adolescent HIV clinics about their practices for transitioning patients from pediatric to adult care. The interviews found no consistent definition of successful transition and little consensus on specific transition program elements. Sites that viewed transition as a process rather than an event described more structured programs. Barriers and facilitators to transition were identified.

Objective: Each year, more than 6% of all U.S. children are exposed to domestic violence and require inter-
vention services from agencies that serve affected families. Previous research has examined detrimental biop-
sychosocial consequences of domestic violence exposure during childhood and the importance of effective
prevention and intervention services for this population. However, less research has explored diverse inter-
vention professionals’ own perspectives on the needs of the domestic violence-exposed children they serve.
Method: This study employed an inductive approach to thematic analysis to investigate intervention profes-
sionals’ reflections and advice regarding the service, policy, and research needs as well as overall strategies to
better protect children exposed to domestic violence.
Results: Respondents articulated four primary themes of (a) building general education and awareness of the
effects of domestic violence exposure on children; (b) the need for trauma-informed care; (c) the salience of
cultural humility in serving affected families; and (d) essential collaboration across service domains.
Respondents discussed these themes in the context of four key systems of care: the clinical or therapy, family,
school, and judicial systems.
Conclusions: Future research should integrate the voices of affected children and families as well as examine
models for effectively implementing these recommendations into practice settings.
1. Introduction
More than a quarter of children are projected to witness domestic
violence (also known as intimate partner violence) in the United States
by the time they reach age 18, with an estimated 6.4% of all children
exposed each year (Finkelhor, Turner, Ormrod, Hamby, & Kracke,
2009). Domestic violence exposure induces substantial economic
burden nationwide, incurring over $55 billion in aggregate lifetime
costs, including increased healthcare spending, increased crime, and
reduced labor market productivity (Holmes, Richter, Votruba, Berg, &
Bender, 2018). Children who have been exposed to domestic violence
are at higher risk for a range of behavioral and mental health problems
compared with non-exposed children (e.g., Fong, Hawes, & Allen, 2019;

Vaccination Policy for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control
Scope of the Problem
Vaccines have done an excellent job at preventing many diseases, some of which can be deadly if not prevented. When bacteria or viruses enter the body, they immediately begin to attack and multiply, which then causes an infection. The immune system will then fight off the infection and establish antibodies, which will help recognize and fight off the same disease in the future. For this very reason, it has been important for children to be vaccinated at an early age so that they may establish those antibodies their bodies need. Vaccines act as the disease so that the body may produce antibodies, but the good thing is that it won’t cause an infection (CDC, 2017).
There are current policies that mandate vaccinations in the U.S., for example, all children are required to be up to date on their vaccines before beginning school. The problem is that there are many loopholes and exceptions to the rule, whether it’s due to religious reasons or other medical issues. Because of this, there are still many children and adults who have yet to be fully compliant with vaccine requirements
Some important statistics to note (Johns Hopkins Medicine):
· CDC estimated 2,700 new cases of hepatitis A in the U.S.
· It is estimated that in 2011, 19,000 new cases of hepatitis B and 17,000 cases of hepatitis C occurred.
· In 2012, nearly 10,000 new cases of tuberculosis were reported.
· Approximately 36,000 people per year die from influenza and pneumonia.
· 50,000 new cases of HIV infection occur annually.
· In 2012, new cases of STD’s were reported, including HPV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, and Syphilis.
Who is affected by this problem? Identify.
Children are mainly affected by this problem due to parents’ hesitancy for vaccinations. Although law mandates for children to be vaccinated for school enrollment, parents have the option to use exemptions to avoid having their children vaccinated. Currently, medical exemptions are allowed for medical reasons in all states, and it is estimated that one to three percent of children are excused from vaccinations because of these exemptions. Parents have continued to use reasons to avoid vaccinations, for example, the belief that the decline in vaccine-preventable diseases is due to improved health care, hygiene, and sanitation (Ventola, C. L., 2016).
Health disparities among Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites have played a huge role in terms of vaccination coverage. Studies have shown that health insurance has a direct impact on the vaccination coverage in adults, therefore, low-income families who can’t afford health insurance will most likely not get the vaccines they need. With that being said, uninsured prevalence was higher among non-Hispanic blacks (19.5%) and Hispanics (30.1%) compared with non-Hispanic whites (11.1%) (Lu, P., et al, 2015).

Children's exposure to domestic and family violence: an overview of impact, r...FRSA Communications
This document discusses children's exposure to domestic and family violence in Australia. It finds that over 1 in 4 women experience violence from an intimate partner, with children often witnessing this violence. Exposure to violence can negatively impact children's learning, behavior, wellbeing and development. Responses aim to be holistic and trauma-informed, though services are in high demand. The document argues that primary prevention through school-based programs promoting gender equality and respectful relationships is important alongside efforts to support children already exposed to violence.
Autism Spectrum Disorders Research PaperPaul Honke
This document discusses a research project that aims to explore the social perceptions of autism and its effects on families. It will conduct an online survey to understand public knowledge and perspectives on autism and vaccines. It will also interview parents of autistic children about their experiences. The literature review discusses theories about the social challenges of autism due to difficulties with communication. It also examines stress on families from the demands of caring for an autistic child and views of autism in the media. The goal is to better understand autism and support autistic children and their families.

How the progression of dementia in elderly patients affect the family relationships of informal carers in the UK
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of dementia on informal carers' relationships with their loved ones. Understanding the demands placed on both the person with dementia and the person providing informal care is essential for meeting the needs of both parties. Many studies and institutions focus only on the needs of patients, rather than the needs of the informal carers. This study highlights the need and requirement of providing supplementary assistance to informal carers. The research analyzed and compared data from several sources in a systematic literature review to provide an answer to the question.
The findings indicated that in order to prevent strained relationships with their loved ones, carers need additional knowledge on how to manage the sickness and the stress brought on by the weight of the illness. We hypothesize that Assistive Technology might be useful for lowering healthcare costs by improving access to specialists in areas such as diagnosis, medication, and mental health treatment, as well as easing the burden on primary care physicians. Case managers may also keep track of patients and help family members all along the care pathway: they do this by collecting and sharing information with the different health professionals involved, in this specific instance the informal caregivers. In order to meet the needs of families dealing with dementia, further study is needed to determine whether certain teaching strategies for informal care providers could be optimal. Get your

Chapter 1: Introduction
Background
Dementia, as described by Duong et al. (2017), is a clinical illness characterized by gradual deterioration in cognitive abilities that eventually compromises an individual's capacity to carry out daily tasks without assistance. Dementia makes people more reliant on others, both emotionally and physically, as pointed out by Cunningham et al. (2015). According to Gale et al. (2018), primary neurologic, medical, and neuropsychiatric disorders all contribute to the development of dementia. Neurodegenerative dementias like Alzheimer disease and Lewy body dementia are very frequent among the elderly. According to the latest data, there were around 850,000 persons living with dementia in the UK in 2019. It was 1 in every 14 adults over the age of 65 (Alzheimer society, 2020).
Introduction
Alzheimer's disease and dementia are similar in that they both cause a slow but steady decline in mental capacity. Dementia patients' reliance on others for care grows as the disease progresses. As the frequency and intensity of symptoms rise, it becomes more difficult to go about everyday life and take part in social activities. Because of this, there may be instances when a person needs constant att ...
Southern African women living with HIV/AIDS face numerous challenges related to culture, gender inequality, lack of education, limited resources, adherence to antiretroviral therapy, and social stigmatization. Traditional healing practices can unintentionally spread HIV through the use of unclean tools. Gender norms prevent women from refusing sex or negotiating condom use. Limited access to education reduces knowledge about health issues. Shortages of healthcare workers and resources constrain treatment access and adherence. Social stigma deters women from seeking care and practicing prevention due to fear of discrimination.
Coping strategies of mothers having children with special needsAlexander Decker
1. The study aimed to identify the coping strategies of mothers with children who have special needs and determine if coping strategies relate to mothers' demographics.
2. The study found relationships between age and coping strategies of reframing and passive appraisal. Birth order related to mobilizing family help acceptance.
3. The study recommended further research with larger populations and exploring coping strategies of other family members like siblings and extended family.
The document discusses research on health care access disparities among Latino populations and their families. It notes that Latinos are more likely than other groups to have uninsured family members. Research shows socioeconomic factors play a role, but people of color experience different health care even with similar insurance and conditions. The document then outlines several research implications and opportunities for systemic interventions to address barriers Latinos face in accessing health care.
This document analyzes racial disparities in flu vaccination rates in the United States using data from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey. It finds that minorities, especially Black individuals, have significantly lower flu vaccination rates than whites, likely due to barriers to healthcare access. Married individuals and those who are employed have higher vaccination rates than unmarried or unemployed individuals. The document controls for variables like age, sex, and employment status to better understand the independent effect of race and marital status on vaccination rates.
This document summarizes a research paper about outpatient children with cancer and their experiences with peer interaction and bullying at school. It provides background on childhood cancer rates and treatments that allow many children to spend less time hospitalized. It reviews literature finding that children with cancer face greater risks of psychosocial and social issues, including bullying. The document examines the physical, psychosocial, social and emotional effects of cancer and treatments on children and how this influences peer relationships. Studies cited found that childhood cancer patients commonly experienced bullying and social anxiety. However, more research is needed on the experiences of outpatient children with cancer specifically regarding peer interaction and bullying at school.
This document proposes implementing school-based HPV vaccination programs to increase vaccination rates. It analyzes barriers to vaccination completion across socioecological levels and identifies interventions. The proposed intervention would educate students and parents about HPV and offer free vaccination series through schools. Applying interventions across all socioecological levels could help address multiple barriers and contribute to positive health outcomes by increasing HPV vaccination completion rates.
This document discusses childhood adversity and its effects. It defines adversity as a lack of positive circumstances that can be caused by physical, mental, or social losses. Common types of adversity include abuse, neglect, poverty, parental mental illness, and family violence. Experiencing multiple adversities increases negative outcomes and mental health issues. However, protective factors like strong relationships can promote resilience.

1 DQ 1The effect of extremely low birth weight babies on the.docxcuddietheresa
1 DQ 1
The effect of extremely low birth weight babies on the family and community is higher rates of both child-related family stress, longer stay and frequent visits to hospital, more financial expenditure, time consuming for the community that will leave other chores to show solidarity to one of them in the hospital. (Ralph 2018)
The short-term and long-term impacts is that the extremely low child weight babies are prone to increase risk of chronic conditions such as respiratory problems, poor post-natal growth, cerebral palsy, and infections. Increase needs for special education and services. Socioeconomic implication is that the family will not be able to socialize with others as they will be occupied with the survival of the child and this can throw them into poverty as they will be spending much in hospital admissions and doctor’s visit. The need for ongoing care is tremendous as these children usually go from one health challenge to the other. The comorbidities associated with prematurity are long-term neurological disability, impaired language development, and increased risk of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. (Willy 2019)
How disparities related to ethnic and cultural groups may contribute to low-birth-weight babies are some poor countries of the world that defer marriage longer in age due to poverty and still did not get good food to eat during pregnancy do end up having low birth weight baby. Some other cultures do not go for antenatal, but drink traditional concussion they believe will reduce the weight of the baby so that they will have easy delivery. This too contributes to the birth of extremely low birth weight babies. (Rauh 2020)

This document provides a literature review on the origins of resilience in families facing socioeconomic hardship, separation, and parental bereavement. It examines various risks such as low socioeconomic status, parenting styles, attachment, marital relationships, separation, and parental bereavement. Protective factors that can buffer these risks and promote family resilience are also explored, such as authoritative parenting, secure attachment between parents and children, strong marital relationships, social support systems, and positive belief systems. The review draws from multiple studies and analyzes factors like communication, nurturing behaviors, and family cohesion that contribute to building resilience in families facing adversity.

This study evaluated the impact of a home-based intervention on the health of 529 female grandmothers raising grandchildren. The intervention involved home visits from nurses and social workers providing services. Health was assessed before and after using the SF-36 questionnaire. Results showed significantly improved scores in vitality, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, and mental health after the intervention. The findings suggest grandmother caregivers may benefit from home-based interventions to improve health.
This document discusses research on the prevalence of elder abuse and neglect. It finds that elder abuse is underreported, with only 1 in 14 cases reported to authorities. Research estimates that between 0.2-9% of community-dwelling elders experience emotional, physical, or financial abuse. Low social support is the strongest risk factor for abuse. While caregivers sometimes unintentionally abuse elders, many witnesses do not report abuse due to lack of training in identifying and handling elder mistreatment. The document calls for greater education of professionals and the public to improve abuse detection and response.
Critical Review of Research Evidence Part 3 FDRobert Cope
This document discusses trauma experienced by children in foster care and the potential for EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy to help address it. Children in foster care often experience trauma from being removed from their biological homes as well as potential abuse or neglect. They also face issues from multiple placements and aging out of the system unprepared. EMDR is presented as a promising 8-step therapy that could help youth resolve memories from traumatic experiences. The document examines the scope of problems faced by the foster care population and why addressing trauma is important to help youth as they transition into adulthood.

THEORETICAL CONCEPT The Health Belief Model (HBM) is by far the mo.docxchristalgrieg
THEORETICAL CONCEPT The Health Belief Model (HBM) is by far the most commonly used theory in health education and health promotion (Glanz, Rimer, & Viswanath, 2008; National Cancer Institute [NCI], 2005). The underlying concept of the HBM is that health behavior is determined by personal beliefs or perceptions about a disease and the strategies available to decrease its occurrence (Hochbaum, 1958). Personal perception is influenced by the whole range of intrapersonal factors affecting health behavior, including, but not limited to: knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, experiences, skills, culture, and religion.
THEORETICAL CONSTRUCTS
The following four perceptions serve as the main constructs of the model: perceived seriousness, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers. Each of these perceptions, individually or in combination, can be used to explain health behavior. More recently, other constructs have been added to the HBM; thus, the model has been expanded to include cues to action, motivating factors, and self-efficacy. PERCEIVED SERIOUSNESS The construct of perceived seriousness speaks to an individual’s belief about the seriousness or severity of a disease. While the perception of seriousness is often based on medical information or knowledge, it may also come from beliefs a person has about the consequences an illness might have on him or her personally. For example, most of us perceive seasonal flu as a relatively minor ailment. We get it, stay home a few days, and get better. However, if you have asthma, contracting the flu could land you in the hospital. In this case, your perception of the flu might be that it is a serious disease. Or, if you are self-employed, having the flu might mean a week or more of lost wages. Again, this would influence your perception of the seriousness of this illness. Perception of seriousness can also be colored by past experience with the illness. No doubt, most people would consider skin cancer a serious disease. However, the perception of serious might be diminished in someone who had a cancerous lesion removed and recovered without much more than a sore area and a Band-Aid for a few days.
PERCEIVED SUSCEPTIBILITY
Personal risk or susceptibility is one of the more powerful perceptions in prompting people to adopt healthier behaviors. The greater the perceived risk, the greater the likelihood of engaging in behaviors to decrease the risk. This is what prompts men who have sex with men to be vaccinated against hepatitis B (de Wit, Vet, Schutten, & van Steenbergen, 2005) and to use condoms in an effort to decrease susceptibility to HIV infection (Belcher, Sternberg, Wolotski, Halkitis, & Hoff, 2005). Perceived susceptibility motivates people to be vaccinated for influenza (Chen, Fox, Cantrell, Stockdale, & Kagawa-Singer, 2007) to use sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, and to floss their teeth to prevent gum disease and tooth loss (Figure 4– 1). It is only logical that when peop ...

Coping strategies of mothers having children with special needsAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on coping strategies of mothers with children who have special needs. The study assessed 146 mothers' coping strategies using the Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scale (F-COPES). The study found that acquiring social support and reframing were the most commonly used coping strategies. Over 40% of mothers used multiple coping strategies, with seeking spiritual support and friend support being less common. The study also found relationships between certain demographic factors (age, birth order, income) and specific coping strategies (reframing, mobilizing family support). Overall, the study provides insight into how mothers of children with special needs cope and the relationship between coping strategies and personal characteristics.

How the progression of dementia in elderly patients affect the family relationships of informal carers in the UK
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of dementia on informal carers' relationships with their loved ones. Understanding the demands placed on both the person with dementia and the person providing informal care is essential for meeting the needs of both parties. Many studies and institutions focus only on the needs of patients, rather than the needs of the informal carers. This study highlights the need and requirement of providing supplementary assistance to informal carers. The research analyzed and compared data from several sources in a systematic literature review to provide an answer to the question.
The findings indicated that in order to prevent strained relationships with their loved ones, carers need additional knowledge on how to manage the sickness and the stress brought on by the weight of the illness. We hypothesize that Assistive Technology might be useful for lowering healthcare costs by improving access to specialists in areas such as diagnosis, medication, and mental health treatment, as well as easing the burden on primary care physicians. Case managers may also keep track of patients and help family members all along the care pathway: they do this by collecting and sharing information with the different health professionals involved, in this specific instance the informal caregivers. In order to meet the needs of families dealing with dementia, further study is needed to determine whether certain teaching strategies for informal care providers could be optimal. Get your

Chapter 1: Introduction
Background
Dementia, as described by Duong et al. (2017), is a clinical illness characterized by gradual deterioration in cognitive abilities that eventually compromises an individual's capacity to carry out daily tasks without assistance. Dementia makes people more reliant on others, both emotionally and physically, as pointed out by Cunningham et al. (2015). According to Gale et al. (2018), primary neurologic, medical, and neuropsychiatric disorders all contribute to the development of dementia. Neurodegenerative dementias like Alzheimer disease and Lewy body dementia are very frequent among the elderly. According to the latest data, there were around 850,000 persons living with dementia in the UK in 2019. It was 1 in every 14 adults over the age of 65 (Alzheimer society, 2020).
Introduction
Alzheimer's disease and dementia are similar in that they both cause a slow but steady decline in mental capacity. Dementia patients' reliance on others for care grows as the disease progresses. As the frequency and intensity of symptoms rise, it becomes more difficult to go about everyday life and take part in social activities. Because of this, there may be instances when a person needs constant att ...
Southern African women living with HIV/AIDS face numerous challenges related to culture, gender inequality, lack of education, limited resources, adherence to antiretroviral therapy, and social stigmatization. Traditional healing practices can unintentionally spread HIV through the use of unclean tools. Gender norms prevent women from refusing sex or negotiating condom use. Limited access to education reduces knowledge about health issues. Shortages of healthcare workers and resources constrain treatment access and adherence. Social stigma deters women from seeking care and practicing prevention due to fear of discrimination.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
