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

3. CHAPTER EIGHT
Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is a very important festivity for Chinese people 10
everywhere. It is also called the Spring Festival or the Lunar New
Year.
The exact date of the Chinese New Year changes from year to
year, but is always between 21 January and 19 February.
In ancient China people used the moon to calculate time, and
in the Chinese lunar calendar every month begins with the new
moon.
Every year of the Chinese Calendar has an animal’s name.
These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse,
sheep, monkey, cockerel, dog and pig. The Chinese believe that a
person born in a particular year has some of the characteristics of
that animal.

4. British and American Festivities
Celebrating the Chinese New Year
Chinese families celebrate the new year for two weeks. They
decorate their houses, towns and villages with coloured lanterns,
flowers and many other decorations. They carefully clean the
house and throw away old things. This means they are throwing
away the bad luck 1 of the past year.
It is very important for the Chinese to be with their families on
New Year’s Eve. On this occasion the family eats a big, delicious
meal together. Fish is always part of the dinner, along with rice,
different meats, and vegetables. Each food has a special meaning,
and the Chinese believe these foods bring good luck. On New
Year’s Day the Chinese wear new clothes to symbolize the New
Year. Red is a popular colour because the Chinese believe that it
is lucky. Parents and family members give children the traditional
New Year’s gift called ‘Lai see’ (lucky money): a red and gold
envelope with some money inside.

that happen to you.

A very important celebration is the parade on New Year’s Day,
when there are a lot of spectacular floats. The dragon is an
important part of the parade because people believe it is noble
and lucky. In the parade a dragon can sometimes be twenty-five
metres long and can have about sixty men move under its body
and tail! People often throw money at the dragon and the dragon
tries to catch it in its big mouth. Sometimes there is more than
one dragon in the parade. If so, there is a dancing competition
between the dragons.

7. Chinese New Year
Lion dancing is an ancient Chinese tradition, and lion dancers
are always part of the parade. Two men usually move under each
lion. It has a big head and a long body. Musicians play the drums 1
and cymbals 2 during the lion dance. There are also noisy
fireworks. The Chinese believe that the noise frightens evil spirits.
During the parade children represent the twelve animals of the
Chinese calendar. Chinese children like wearing the costume of
their favourite animal during the parade. There are also acrobats
and musicians in beautiful costumes. Most of the costumes and
masks in the parade come from China.

sentences.

Note: When we use a lot of for uncountable nouns (nouns we cannot
count as separate objects: water, flour, money, etc.) the verb is in the
