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

2. Description of history of businesses and involvement.
The profession of barbering is one of the oldest in the world. Tools for grooming such
as combs, razors and more mainly came from the tombs of Egypt. Barbering was introduced
in Rome during 296 B.C.. The barbers in Rome became very popular and prosperous, not to
be forgotten, their shops were frequented as centers for daily news and gossips. In the early
Christen era, barbers are also surgeons. They were allowed to pull teeth, and give all forms of
medications. They were known as barbers-surgeons for more than a thousand of years. Due to
the services given by barbers, they were the most respected and protected men in living. A
white cloth was used during their practice of surgery. They would rinse this out leaving blood
stains, hang it in the doorway of their business to dry. This acts as the emblem of the barber-surgeon’s
profession. Later on, the emblem was replaced by a wooden pole of white and red
stripes. This symbol is today’s barber pole and it is universally used as the sign of a barber
shop.
During the 20th century, barbershops were only for men or only for women. However,
at the end of 1970s, men started to wear very long hair, sideburns and perms. The traditional
male barbershops usually did not attend to those kinds of services. The barbers’ reaction was
to expand and offer their services to both men and women. In the 1980s, unisex barbershops
started to be everyday more common, and in the 1990s, almost all salons were giving services
to both genders. Today, hairstylists are regularly for everybody and even their names are
vaguely unisex, hair salons.

4. Comparative Analysis of the Two Businesses
We are required to interview two businesses from different locations of Malaysia. In
our case, we chose to compare two hair dressing businesses from Klang Valley and Negeri
Sembilan. The first business that we interviewed was Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon which is
located in SS14, Subang Jaya, Selangor. The interviewee was the supervisor of the salon
named, Kalaiarasan Javen. This business started in 1986 by Mr. Bushpa Nathan, the owner of
Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon. The second business that we interviewed was Clairol Unisex
Hair Style Beauty Saloon. This salon is located in Senawang, Negeri Sembilan. The
interviewee was the daughter of the founder, named Alexander Tan. The business started in
1983 because it was a successful business at that time.
This two businesses started with different motives. For Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon,
the owner only have basic grooming skills and enough money to open a salon. In order to
sustain his family, he decided to pursue in this business. He started off his business with a
capital of RM2,000 only. On the other hand, the owner of Clairol Unisex Hair Style Beauty
Saloon started this business because it was a successful business in Senawang during 1983.
The business was started off with a capital of RM1, 800.
The products used by both business are different too. Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon
obtained their products from India. The products used in Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon are
mainly oils and creams to sooth the redness after shaving and for massaging. Clairol Unisex
Hair Style Beauty Saloon acquire their products from both local and overseas.
The services provided in this two hair dressing business differ from each other.
Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon only provides limited services such as haircut, shaving and head
massage. As for Clairol Unisex Hair Style Beauty Saloon, it provides more variety services
such as haircut, hair perming, hair dye, and hair treatment. Thus, both businesses attracts
different group of customers as the male customers will prefer to visit shops like Jasmen Hair
13. Dressing Salon and the female customers are more likely to visit shops like Clairol Unisex
Hair Style Beauty Saloon. This is because most of the male customers do not seek for
Page 13 of 26
services like hair perming and hair treatment.
Like any other business, these two businesses also face challenges throughout their
business. The problem that Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon face is that there is another
barbershop next to it, therefore, it affected their business. As for Clairol Unisex Hair Style
Beauty Saloon, their location was slightly rural and not many people will be able to notice
them. Other than that, there is also another barbershop opened next to it.
As for advertising, Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon do not have any approaches as they
are satisfied with their current business status. However, Clairol Unisex Hair Style Beauty
Saloon promotes their business through Facebook by updating new hairstyles and promoting
their products on their page. This is to attract the customers to pay a visit at their salon.
The price range offered in these two hair dressing businesses varies. Jasmen Hair
Dressing Salon provides haircut starting from RM7 onwards and massages at RM15. The
price for the service here depends on different types of category, such as student, employed,
senior citizens. As for Clairol Unisex Hair Style Beauty Saloon, the haircut provided starts
from RM15, hair dye and hair perming starting from RM50, and hair treatment from RM60.
The price for the service here depends on the customer’s hair length.
In conclusion, Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon is more commercially stable than the
Clairol Unisex Hair Style Beauty Saloon. This is because Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon have
more branches compared to Clairol Unisex Hair Style Beauty Saloon. Other than that, the
location of Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon is more strategic and happening and they are able to
attract more customers compared to Clairol Unisex Hair Style Beauty Saloon which is
located in a rural area.

5. Recommendations
5.1 Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon
This salon is too small that it can only occupy 3 customers only. Hence, we recommend them
to expand the space of this salon to occupy more customers. The cushion of the barber chairs
are badly damaged. They should replace the cushions of the barber chairs to increase the
comfort level of customers. Not to be forgotten, the cabinets in Jasmen Hair Dressing Salon
are damaged. Therefore we recommend them to replace the old cabinets with new cabinets.
The tools in this salon are scattered around, a salon trolley should be purchased by them to
keep the tools in proper place. To increase the business they should give out more flyers and
promotion to the customers.
5.2 Clairol Unisex Hair Style Beauty Saloon
The products and tools are all around the salon, therefore we recommend them to install some
cabinets to store the products and tools to give it a neater look. The lighting in Clairol Unisex
Hair Style Beauty Saloon is very dim. More lightings should be added to brighten the whole
shop. Not to be forgotten, the space in this salon is too compact. We recommend them to
extend their salon so that they can fit in more customers and provide more services. This
salon should replace the old decorations with new and more attractive decorations to give a
cleaner ambience. Lastly, we would like to recommend Clairol Unisex Hair Style Beauty
Saloon to buy an advertising space on Facebook. By doing this, Facebook users will be aware
of their existence and will pay a visit to their salon.
