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

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

11. BELIEFS
Beliefs in empirical terms are neither true nor
false. Tested empirical knowledge and untestable
beliefs are “elements ” of culture. Because, they
are often mixed together in the same concrete

regulations within the state. These Militant groups have
become counterculture in Pakistan.

Some elements of cultural change faster than
others. William Ogburn (1964) observed that
technology moves quickly, generating new
element of material culture (things) faster
than nonmaterial culture (ideas) can keep up
with them. Ogburn called this inconsistency
cultural lag, the fact that some cultural
elements change more quickly than others,
disrupting a cultural system.
32. Cultural Lag
The period of maladjustment during which
the nonmaterial culture is still adapting to the
new material conditions. We will be willing to
use technological innovations from other
cultures (material culture) that will make our
lives easier, but we will be reluctant to adopt
the ideologies of that culture that will change
our way of seeing the world, for example
democracy in Pakistan.
33. ETHNOCENTRISM
Tendency of each group take for
granted the superiority of its own
culture (Horton & Hunt, 1984).
Ethnocentrism is a term coined by William

making incorrect assumptions about others behavior
based on your own norms, values, and beliefs.
35. XENOCENTRISM
The opposite of ethnocentrism is
xenocentrism which means preferring ideas
and things from other cultures over ideas
and things from your own culture. For
example, Pakistani always consider
American’s values superior, Japani’s
products better, Korean auto technology
durable etc.
