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

SOCIAL COMMITTEE CHARTER
Name of Committee: Social Committee
Accountable to: Executive Committee
Chaired by: Michael Martine, immediate past president
Amanda Hodges (vice chair)
Composition: Josh Hardison, Emily Martine, Anna Shepherd, Eric Roush, Prerana Patel
Background: Established by the Executive Committee in 2006
Purpose/Mission of Committee:
Fellowship among NCSSM Alumni helps to foster teamwork and more effective volunteerism. While we
come together for the purpose of serving the School and its students, keeping the alumni board fresh and
vibrant with new ideas means taking the time to get to know one another and discover the connections
that lie beneath the surface. Social events are a useful recruiting mechanism for the board and are just
plain fun to do something that is out of the ordinary.
Responsibilities/Deliverables:
The volunteers who participate in the Social Committee are responsible for planning several get-
togethers and events over the course of the year whose primary goal is to have fun in a social setting.
Given the diverse age groups of alumni, there may be some events that are better suited to one cohort over
another, and while it is advantageous to have settings where all alumni might gather, targeting specific
events for key age groups, geographic regions, etc are also desirable in order to maintain and increase
contact among the alumni.
The goals of the Social Committee will be set by those volunteers on this committee. At a minimum,
there should be one event planned over the course of the year to bring alumni together to have fun and
better get to know one another. This can provide for a relaxed atmosphere for prospective volunteers to
get to know other members of the alumni board and get a sense for what they might be signing up for as
they consider if they want to make a difference for the School and the students.
