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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

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.

• Extensive synthesis (combining information from
multiple sources)
• Rigorous research using acceptable sources

4. Why American Psychology
Association (APA) Style?
• Focuses on dates and titles instead of the author
– Current research/data
– Previous “watershed” studies in the literature
• Was developed to standardize scientific writing
• Emphasizes your own words and ideas
– Prefers paraphrase to quotation
6. Basic Formatting in APA
• Use 1” margins all around
• Double-space the entire paper

14. Basics of In-Text Citations
• APA style uses the author-date citation system
– Place the name followed by the year at the
beginning of the sentence
Doe (2007) found that rats cannot vomit.
– Place the name and year in a parenthetical
citation at the end of the sentence
A recent study of rats found that they cannot
vomit (Doe, 2007).
15. Direct Quote or Paraphrase?
• Use direct quotations with citation
– Even if you do not use every word
– Include page number in citation (Smith 2007, p. 18)

own words, and in your own sentence structure
Remember: You must provide a citation for any
information or idea that is not your own
16. Citing Personal Communications

writings of Immanuel Kant.
Modern Western political idealism has its basis
in the writings of Immanuel Kant (Doe &
Koenig, 2007).
18. Citing Three to Five Authors
• Cite the last names of all authors the first time it
is used
Doe, Koenig, and Porpora (1998) note that
constructivism is becoming a more popular
theory in political science.
• For all citations afterward, use ET AL.
Doe et al. (1998) found that most political
scientists prefer synthesizing political
theories.
19. Citing Six or More Authors
• Cite only the first author followed by ET AL. for
each citation
Mearsheimer et al. (2008) assert that neo-realism
as a theoretical paradigm is experiencing a
backlash.
Neo-realism as a theoretical paradigm is
experiencing a backlash (Mearsheimer et al.,
2008).
20. Authors with Multiple Works
• For authors with multiple works published in the
same year
– Alphabetize the sources based upon the title of
the work and assign a lowercase letter for each
source
Doe (2008a) notes that Egyptian death rituals were
highly complex. In the case of Tutankhamen, the
boy pharaoh was adorned in a highly ritualized
fashion with precious metals and jewelry (Doe,
2008b).

electronic source
Dolce and Gabanna had to change their 2004–
2005 advertising campaign after the profuse
level of complaints from consumers (Herneckli,
2006, Trends section, para. 3).
Prada was favored 7/10 over Oakley (Herneckli,
2005, para. 5).
24. Reference List
• References begin on a new page after the last
page of your paper

• Arrange alphabetically by author (person or
organization)
• Do not divide your sources based upon type or
category

tables, charts, and photographs to be placed in
an Appendix after the References List
• However, you may include smaller visual
elements in the text of the paper
• You must distinguish between visuals you
created and those borrowed from an outside
source
