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

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Much like Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation, I have a secret/second identity, much like most of the people who walk into our libraries.
I am speaking not just as a librarian but as these other identities and perspectives.
These are some of the second identities that people have that interest me.
As we know, the world is getting smaller every day- technology!
We have faster, crisper, more mobile access to exotic worlds and ideas than ever before.
Has “locality” really become antiquated? Maybe not.
As an example, I want to show Starbucks Coffee. Their original marketing plan was to create cookie cutter locations that look the same wherever you go. No matter what city or country you’re in, Starbucks looks like Starbucks. But this uniformity began to become increasingly cold.
In recent years, a shift- see Starbucks in my hometown of Glen Rock. They purchased a Hogwarts-esque tower (used to be a gas station) for a unique look for this location. Also note that the sign includes the name of the town. It’s no longer Starbucks- it’s the Glen Rock New Jersey Starbucks, unique and integrated into the landscape of the surrounding community.
Same for this location in Brooklyn, which filled a closed movie theatre. They are even using movie theatre lingo. This is re-purposing at a large scale. Local identity is marketable again.
And the coldness of uniformity that we now feel is why this goes to these!
A great fusion of local and tech- locavores are increasingly “in,” (people who only purchase/eat food that was sourced locally). Now there’s an app for that! Find all your best local food on your iphone!
The key is networking! Learn from the experts and the skilled to offer unique, local programs that your patrons can’t get anywhere else. These experts and skilled folk can offer the best insight on how to develop programming and how to efficiently obtain materials etc. without breaking the bank.
We typically think of DIY as a fix-it idea. Libraries have DIY type sections dealing with remodeling etc.
But DIY also means these! DIY recordings, videos, zines, designs, etc.
DIY requires time and skill. You can also find people who WANT to do things for you, to help, to have a give and take agreement that all parties benefit from. Hence our Jeopardy program with our local historical society…
Probably already have most of these…but what else?
Great open source sound recording
Great open source video editing!
Screen capture
Great photo/image editing
Maybe? I would argue yes. Think about what we already do. We would never question if we should help patrons access tools to create and send resumes. But for many in our populations, what we see on the right (DIY CDs) is just as much a resume as what we see on the left!
