Research Critique Guidelines
Quantitative Study
Background of Study:
· Identify the clinical problem and research problem that led to the study. What was not known about the clinical problem that, if understood, could be used to improve health care delivery or patient outcomes? This gap in knowledge is the research problem.
· How did the author establish the significance of the study? In other words, why should the reader care about this study? Look for statements about human suffering, costs of treatment, or the number of people affected by the clinical problem.
· Identify the purpose of the study. An author may clearly state the purpose of the study or may describe the purpose as the study goals, objectives, or aims.
· List research questions that the study was designed to answer. If the author does not explicitly provide the questions, attempt to infer the questions from the answers.
· Were the purpose and research questions related to the problem?
Methods of Study
· Identify the benefits and risks of participation addressed by the authors. Were there benefits or risks the authors do not identify?
· Was informed consent obtained from the subjects or participants?
· Did it seem that the subjects participated voluntarily in the study?
· Was institutional review board approval obtained from the agency in which the study was conducted?
· Are the major variables (independent and dependent variables) identified and defined? What were these variables?
· How were data collected in this study?
· What rationale did the author provide for using this data collection method?
· Identify the time period for data collection of the study.
· Describe the sequence of data collection events for a participant.
· Describe the data management and analysis methods used in the study.
· Did the author discuss how the rigor of the process was assured? For example, does the author describe maintaining a paper trail of critical decisions that were made during the analysis of the data? Was statistical software used to ensure accuracy of the analysis?
· What measures were used to minimize the effects of researcher bias (their experiences and perspectives)? For example, did two researchers independently analyze the data and compare their analyses?
Results of Study
· What is the researcher's interpretation of findings?
· Are the findings valid or an accurate reflection of reality? Do you have confidence in the findings?
· What limitations of the study were identified by researchers?
· Was there a coherent logic to the presentation of findings?
· What implications do the findings have for nursing practice? For example, can the findings of the study be applied to general nursing practice, to a specific population, or to a specific area of nursing?
· What suggestions are made for further studies?
Ethical Considerations
· Was the study approved by an Institutional Review Board?
· Was patient privacy protected?
· Were there ethical considerations regarding the tr.

job description but the question’ Is the job really
necessary?” it is usually assumed that if somebody

NT2580: Week 1 Understanding IT Infrastructure Security
Analysis 1.1
Case Study
1
In March 2010, 28 year-old Albert Gonzalez was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for breaching
security measures at several well-known retailers and stealing millions of credit card numbers, which he then
resold across a variety of shadow “carding” Web sites. Using a fairly simple packet sniffer, Gonzalez was able
to steal payment card transaction data in real time, which he then parked on blind servers in places such as
Latvia and Ukraine—countries formerly part of the Soviet Union. Gonzalez named his activities “Operation
Get Rich or Die Tryin'” and lived a lavish lifestyle by selling stolen credit card information. He was eventually
tracked down by the U.S. Secret Service, which was investigating the stolen card ring. Operation Get Rich or
Die Tryin' took place for more than two years and cost major retailers, such as TJX, OfficeMax, Barnes &
Noble, Heartland, and Hannaford, more than $200 million in losses and recovery costs. It is the largest
computer crime case ever prosecuted.
At first glance, Operation Get Rich or Die Tryin' seems to be an open-and-shut case. A hacker commits a
series of cybercrimes, is caught, and is successfully prosecuted. Fault and blame are assigned to the
cybercriminal, and justice is served for the corporations and the millions of people whose credit card
information was compromised.
Unless you ask the shareholders, banking partners, and some customers of TJX, who filed a series of class-
action lawsuits against the company claiming that the “high-level deficiencies” in its security practices make it
at least partially responsible for the damages caused by Albert Gonzalez and his accomplices. The lawsuits
point out, for example, that the packet sniffer Gonzalez attached to the TJX network went unnoticed for more
than seven months. Court documents also indicate that TJX failed to notice more than 80 GB of stored data
being transferred from its servers using TJX’s own high-speed network. Finally, an audit performed by TJX’s
payment-card processing partners found that it was noncompliant with 9 of the 12 requirements for secure
payment card transactions. TJX’s core information security policies were found to be so ineffective that the
judge presiding over sentencing hearing of Gonzalez reviewed them to determine whether TJX’s damages
claim against him of $171 million is valid.
Apart from lawsuits, TJX faced a serious backlash from customers and the media when the details of the
scope of the breaches trickled out. Customers reacted angrily when they learned that nearly six weeks had
passed between the discovery of the breach and its notification to the public. News organizations ran
headline stories that painted a picture of TJX as a clueless and uncaring company. Consumer organizations
openly warned people not to shop at TJX stores. TJX’s reputation and brand.

Research Critique Guidelines
Quantitative Study
Background of Study:
· Identify the clinical problem and research problem that led to the study. What was not known about the clinical problem that, if understood, could be used to improve health care delivery or patient outcomes? This gap in knowledge is the research problem.
· How did the author establish the significance of the study? In other words, why should the reader care about this study? Look for statements about human suffering, costs of treatment, or the number of people affected by the clinical problem.
· Identify the purpose of the study. An author may clearly state the purpose of the study or may describe the purpose as the study goals, objectives, or aims.
· List research questions that the study was designed to answer. If the author does not explicitly provide the questions, attempt to infer the questions from the answers.
· Were the purpose and research questions related to the problem?
Methods of Study
· Identify the benefits and risks of participation addressed by the authors. Were there benefits or risks the authors do not identify?
· Was informed consent obtained from the subjects or participants?
· Did it seem that the subjects participated voluntarily in the study?
· Was institutional review board approval obtained from the agency in which the study was conducted?
· Are the major variables (independent and dependent variables) identified and defined? What were these variables?
· How were data collected in this study?
· What rationale did the author provide for using this data collection method?
· Identify the time period for data collection of the study.
· Describe the sequence of data collection events for a participant.
· Describe the data management and analysis methods used in the study.
· Did the author discuss how the rigor of the process was assured? For example, does the author describe maintaining a paper trail of critical decisions that were made during the analysis of the data? Was statistical software used to ensure accuracy of the analysis?
· What measures were used to minimize the effects of researcher bias (their experiences and perspectives)? For example, did two researchers independently analyze the data and compare their analyses?
Results of Study
· What is the researcher's interpretation of findings?
· Are the findings valid or an accurate reflection of reality? Do you have confidence in the findings?
· What limitations of the study were identified by researchers?
· Was there a coherent logic to the presentation of findings?
· What implications do the findings have for nursing practice? For example, can the findings of the study be applied to general nursing practice, to a specific population, or to a specific area of nursing?
· What suggestions are made for further studies?
Ethical Considerations
· Was the study approved by an Institutional Review Board?
· Was patient privacy protected?
· Were there ethical considerations regarding the tr.

The starting point for any selection process is, not the
job description but the question’ Is the job really
necessary?” it is usually assumed that if somebody

In March 2010, 28 year-old Albert Gonzalez was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for breaching
security measures at several well-known retailers and stealing millions of credit card numbers, which he then
resold across a variety of shadow “carding” Web sites. Using a fairly simple packet sniffer, Gonzalez was able
to steal payment card transaction data in real time, which he then parked on blind servers in places such as
Latvia and Ukraine—countries formerly part of the Soviet Union. Gonzalez named his activities “Operation
Get Rich or Die Tryin'” and lived a lavish lifestyle by selling stolen credit card information. He was eventually
tracked down by the U.S. Secret Service, which was investigating the stolen card ring. Operation Get Rich or
Die Tryin' took place for more than two years and cost major retailers, such as TJX, OfficeMax, Barnes &
Noble, Heartland, and Hannaford, more than $200 million in losses and recovery costs. It is the largest
computer crime case ever prosecuted.
At first glance, Operation Get Rich or Die Tryin' seems to be an open-and-shut case. A hacker commits a
series of cybercrimes, is caught, and is successfully prosecuted. Fault and blame are assigned to the
cybercriminal, and justice is served for the corporations and the millions of people whose credit card
information was compromised.
Unless you ask the shareholders, banking partners, and some customers of TJX, who filed a series of class-
action lawsuits against the company claiming that the “high-level deficiencies” in its security practices make it
at least partially responsible for the damages caused by Albert Gonzalez and his accomplices. The lawsuits
point out, for example, that the packet sniffer Gonzalez attached to the TJX network went unnoticed for more
than seven months. Court documents also indicate that TJX failed to notice more than 80 GB of stored data
being transferred from its servers using TJX’s own high-speed network. Finally, an audit performed by TJX’s
payment-card processing partners found that it was noncompliant with 9 of the 12 requirements for secure
payment card transactions. TJX’s core information security policies were found to be so ineffective that the
judge presiding over sentencing hearing of Gonzalez reviewed them to determine whether TJX’s damages
claim against him of $171 million is valid.
Apart from lawsuits, TJX faced a serious backlash from customers and the media when the details of the
scope of the breaches trickled out. Customers reacted angrily when they learned that nearly six weeks had
passed between the discovery of the breach and its notification to the public. News organizations ran
headline stories that painted a picture of TJX as a clueless and uncaring company. Consumer organizations
openly warned people not to shop at TJX stores. TJX’s reputation and brand.

What is learning and memory?
Learning can be defined as acquisition of new
knowledge or skills and/or changes in behaviour as
a result of experience.
Memory refers to the storage and retrieval of
learned knowledge, skills or behaviours.

Aplysia californica as a model system for
cellular learning and memory
Studying cellular mechanisms for learning and memory in the mammalian
brain is a formidable challenge due to the enormous number of neurons and
the complexity of synaptic connections.
Aplysia californica is an advantagous model organism because:
- Neurons are quite few (20 000) and can be identified in the circuit.
- Neurons are rather big, making them readily accessable
for in vivo intracellular recordings

The gill-siphon reflex in aplysia offers a great
opportunity to link changes in neurons and
synapses with a behavioral output.
When a mechanical stimulus
is applied to the siphon, the
slug responds by withdrawing
its gill.

The synapse and some common forms of short-
term synaptic plasticity
Synaptic facilitation: rapid increase in synaptic strength when two APs arrive at the axon terminal
within a short interval of time. Increased Ca+ -influx causes more transmitter substance to be
released.
Synaptic depression: neurotransmitter release decline with sustained stimulation. A possible
mechanism might be depletion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles in the presynaptic neuron.
Augementation (acts over seconds) and potentation (post-tetanic, acts over minutes) are other forms
of short-term plasticity that enhance transmitter release due to prolonged and increased Ca+ levels.

Habituation in Aplysia
Habituation: reduced response to a stimulus that is neither harmful nor
beneficial.
In Aplysia: if the siphon is touched repeatedly, the snail will eventually stop
withdrawing its gill.
The response in the sensory neuron is mostly unchanged, so the habituating
effect on behaviour is likely to be mediated by a.

How to be Army Strong
I was 18 years old when I saw my favorite uncle in his uniform. I could see how much respect he got and how strong of a man he was and I wanted that for myself. I asked him how could I become strong like he was. He said to me, it’s not going to be an easy job. I would have to leave my family, friends and everything behind to fight for my country Saudi Arabia.
The first thing I needed was talk with a recruiter. He tried to make me see how difficult this walk was going to be. I believed the hard work would make me strong just like my uncle. We started off with a whole lot of questions. I filled out many different types of paperwork. The paper work included: criminal background checks, medical history, family history, and job history. I had to take a test to see if I was smart enough for the army. I think it was similar to the test soldiers take in America. It asked questions from basic mechanics, computers, cooking, and all general studies. Its purpose was to find out what job I could choose. I passed the test and then I was able to pick a job. I had my pick of a lot of different jobs but I chose to be a machine gunner. Then, after I chose my job, I signed my contract. After that, I was told to come back in two weeks for a drug test and medical test to see if I was fit for the Army. I had to do psychological testing and the doctor checked everything on my body I received my stamp and it was on to basic training.
The second step in becoming Army strong is going to basic training. There are three phases to go through. I arrived to the training camp called Reception. At Reception I received all of my equipment and clothing. I was assigned to the company where I would learn all about being a soldier. The first day I received a haircut and was taught how to properly exercise and gain strength of my body by doing Physical Training. I started learning how to run long distances and how to breathe the right way so I would not get too tired. I did not enjoy ring but I had to do it. After that I issued a M16 Assault Rifle. I took training classes on how to clean, fix and shoot. The next step was learning about the history of the Army and all the things it takes to make up a true soldier. I went through many field exercises where I learned about teamwork. The men were like brothers; we helped each other like a family I participated in rappelling, nuclear biological defense and weapons training. The next step was learning drill, which is how I am supposed to present my self in parades, when we march and at funerals. After that we learned tactics and techniques to stay alive. Then I learned medical training. I had to learn CPR, Heimlich maneuver, wound care and many other forms of medical procedures. The next stage I learned was radio communication. Radio communication is how I can communicate with other soldiers on a mission in the field. Then I learned combat fighting. I used bayonets, padded sticks and hand and hand comba.

Kudler Fine Foods Network Overview
Name
University of Phoenix
NTC 362
Date
Instructor
Upon reviewing Kudler Fine Food network, it has been determined that a major network overhaul will need to be conducted to make sure that Kudler is brought up to speed with the latest technology. This is very important because if Kudler is unable to keep up with the technological advances then the company will fall behind. Making sure that Kudler is not only able to keep up with the advances with network systems it is also important to install the proper systems so that no money is wasted. What is meant by this is that if the improper systems and storage units are installed to only handle data over the next year this is only going to force Kudler to spend more money in upgrades in the future. This is why it is vital to install the proper systems that will provide room for future network expansion without having to waste money on unnecessary upgrades. The following is a list of problem areas with the Kudler network: • 56K modems provide slow connections speeds
• Host systems at all site running Window 98 – over 10 years old • Windows NT servers are at the Delmar and Lajolla sites – over 10 years old. • The XLS servers at the Delmar and Lajolla sites are running Office 97 – over 15 years old. • The Novell Servers at the Delmar and Lajolla sites are running this was released in 1994. – over almost 20 years old. • All sites have a stand lone ups system that will need upgraded to provide a redundant power supply to support new systems.
One of the first things that were noticed was that fact that all of the sites are still running 56k modems. This is an old technology and is only hindering the speed between each site. Having the proper connection speed is vital to provide real time updates not only for the profits made each day, but providing the inventory updates on the products that are sold so that those items can be restocked without waiting. These modems will be removed to make the way for the new wide area network and within each site there will be a wireless local area network. The WAN will link all of the site networks together which will in turn boost the network speed and the way employees communicate. The communication aspect of the new network will incorporate a VoIP system and will be managed at one central location. “The great thing about VoIP is that it taps additional value from the already existing infrastructure without additional costs” This will provide the highest quality of phone network will saving on the cost of out phone services.
Another issue that issue that is hindering the speed and efficiency on the network is the fact that all the host systems being used within all the sites are Windows 98. These systems are well over ten years old and a.

NTHE
MIND OF GREAT
COMPANIES?
By Scott Blanchard
T
he old saying, "money isn't
everything," rings hollow in
today's business world.
where rninute-by-minute
stock quotes scroll across
our computer monitors, and
careers are won or lost based
on Wall Street's analysis of a
company's perforniance. Throw in giob-
al competition, outdated products and
services, increased costs, corporate silos
and other business challenges, and it's
no wonder that tnatiy of today's compa-
nies focus solely on their bottom line,
ofteti at the expense of customer service
and employee satisfaction.
It need not be this way. Great compa
nies focus on more than one bottom
line when gauging their perforniance.
Ttiey choose to be not only the invest-
ment of choice, but also the provider of
choice for their products or services, as
well as the employer of choice for work-
ers in their industry. By looking beyond
immediate, short term results and focus-
ing on strategies to make their compa-
nies successful for the long-term, they
recognize challenges sooner, identify
solutions more quickly and deliver re-
sults ahead of their competitors. In short,
they learn to lead at a higher level.
A clear warning sign that your busi-
ness is trapped in a short-term mindset
is the presence of an "either/or" philoso-
phy. Managers either believe they can
achieve profitability or they can develop
a great workplace, but not both. These
leaders don't always take morale and job
satisfaction into consideration. Their
focus is only their financial bottom line.
From there, it's a short leap to the false
notion tlrat making money is the sole
reason to be in business.
A NEW APPROACH
Contrary to the either/or philosophy,
leading at a higher level requires man-
agers to embrace a "both/and" approach.
In great companies, the development of
people is of equal importance to finan-
cial performance. As a result, the focus
is on long-term results and human satis-
faction. Accordingly, great companies
begin by both creating and nurturing a
vision of the future, and then measuring
progress against that vision.
There are three questions to ask,
which represent the main components
of a corporate vision. By focusing on
these questions, companies are more
likely to ensure they don't lose sight of
their path to success. They are:
• What business are you in? This will
help you identify your company's signif-
icant purpose.
• What will the future look like if you
are successful?
• What guides your behavior and deci-
sions on a daily basis? This will help
you identify clear values.
Great companies keep al! three of
these ideas clearly in mind and make
necessary course corrections when they
realize they are off track.
The next step is to create a corporate
culture that both reflects and reinforces
the corporate vision. The culture con-
sists of the values, attitudes, beliefs,
behaviors and practices of the organiza-
tion's members. Culture is an organiza-
tion's personality, and it can help or hin-

NRB Dec’99 1
WHITHER THE EMERGENCY MANAGER? 1
Neil R Britton, PhD
Ministry of Emergency Management & Civil Defence
Wellington, NEW ZEALAND2
Introduction
The invitation to comment on Thomas E Drabek’s Human System Responses to
Disaster: An Inventory of Sociological Findings provides an opportunity to reflect on
the practice of emergency management and the evolving role of the emergency manager.
This focus is timely. The past decade has brought disaster into sharp relief for many;
several large-scale impacts have occurred; and disaster costs (in lives and property
damage) have escalated. The links between community growth, land-use management
practices and vulnerability have become more apparent. These issues have taken place at a
time when the clarion call is for smaller government and more fiscal constraint. This
combination is prompting questions, particularly from central government, about the
function and value of emergency management arrangements.
It is also appropriate to re-think the emergency manager’s role in contemporary society.
Much has changed in 10 years, ranging from the burgeoning of relevant information to the
need to develop integrated management programs for responders. This is leading to a re-
definition of the task-set and a re-evaluation of the emergency manager’s job parameters.
College-level programs and other knowledge-based accreditation courses are rapidly
becoming a prerequisite. These developments are enhancing the image of emergency
management and helping it progress to being a distinctive professional sector.
This essay uses Drabek’s 1986 publication Human System Responses to Disasters as a
vehicle to reflect on major developments influencing emergency management practice. It
begins by locating Human System Responses to Disasters within the disaster sociology
literature, and argues that the book makes two major contributions to disaster study. From
here, the focus of the essay shifts from Drabek’s work to identifying elements that
characterized emergency management practice at the time when Drabek wrote his text.
The essay moves on to look at some current issues pertaining to emergency management,
and leads into a discussion of where the practice might be heading in the coming decade.
A brief return to Human System Responses to Disasters completes the discussion.

Now, its time to create that treasure map to hide the treasur.docxhenrymartin15260
Now, it's time to create that treasure map to hide the treasure from Ol' Red Coat's family.
Decide on which quadrilateral you will create. For this activity you may use a kite, trapezoid or a parallelogram (that is not a square, rhombus, or rectangle).
Graph the quadrilateral on a coordinate plane. You may print and use graph paper a drawing program such as GeoGebra. The four vertices of the quadrilateral will serve as four destinations on your map. One can be the starting point, the others can be clues along the way, and the last one will be where X marks the spot!
Find the length and slope of each side to justify the classification of your quadrilateral. For example, if your map was a square, your calculations would prove that all four sides are congruent, slopes of opposite sides are congruent, and slopes of adjacent sides are opposite reciprocals.
You need to create a set of directions so you can come back and find the treasure later. Your directions need to explain how to get from each destination on the map to the next one. Use the properties of quadrilaterals in your directions. At least three different quadrilateral properties must be used.
What does it mean to use properties of quadrilaterals in your directions? Here is an example: If your map is in the shape of a parallelogram, your opposite sides will have equal slopes. You could say that to get from Point A to Point B you travel up 3 units and right 2 units to the Palm Tree. From there you might travel East 5 units to Point C. From Point C, you would travel down 3 and left 2 units, where X marks the spot. This proves that the slopes of opposite sides are equal. Include two more properties in your directions. Don’t forget to finish the directions to return to the starting point. See example below.
Get creative and think of clever ways to use the different properties!
Create a key for your map. Show proof that following the directions will get you to the treasure. If one of the directions is to make a 90 degree turn, show how you can prove the turn from one side to another is 90 degrees.
If one of the directions is to travel the same distance as a previous side, use the distance formula to show the two distances are the same.
Submit the following to your instructor:
1. The treasure map on a coordinate plane
2. The length and slope of each side to justify the classification of your quadrilateral
3. The directions to finding the treasure: Include the explanation for how each direction represents a quadrilateral property. Be sure to include at least three properties.

Background:
Zipcar is a car rental company that uses a revolutionary automated system in which cars are rented by hours or days. The company tried to spread its cars in several locations to make it easy for the Zipcar ‘s customers to get their cars. Indeed, every car has a home location to which it must be returned. These locations are available on the Zipcar website. All cars are equipped with a patented wireless technology that enables communicating actual information about their availability to customers, and provides the company with useful information to monitor car security, fulfill reservations, and maintain mileage information. Zipcar business model does not rely on human contact, which is not the case for its competitors. In fact, Zipcar customers do not have to stand in queues and fill papers to rent their car as the traditional companies do. Customers also knew in advance the make and the model of the car they will rent. In addition to that, Zipcar rents cars 24/7 thanks to its unique IT platform, which is not the case for traditional car rental companies. The company also uses social networks by creating an online community of users so that they can share their experience. Zipcar is also trying to market its innovative technology to attract some institutions that could be interested to buy it such as competitors and government. Finally, the wireless technology is considered as the main core competency and competitive advantage of the Zipcar.
Analysis:
The main challenges that face the company concern its expansion nationally and globally. Scott Griffith (2011) claimed “We look at three key factors. The first is high population density, the second is a strong public transportation infrastructure, and the third is expensive and hard to find parking.” Therefore, the company has difficulties to expand in some areas where the traditional car rental companies are established. Based on our analysis, .

This assignment should be at least two 2-3 pages in length (adding to the final paper).
Use at least 3-5 scholarly sources that discuss a criminal justice response. These sources must be properly cited using APA format. Students should seek out peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles from LIRN to complete this assignment or explore the National Criminal Justice Reference Service for examples of how the criminal justice system has responded.
Abstract and conclusion
Abstract
This paper will be on two criminology theories; the positivist and the classical theory. These two theories will be discussed and how the criminal justice system responded towards the assumptions. It explains how certain crimes are looked at and also dealt with.
The commitment of various criminal activities attracts action from the criminal justice system. However, on many different occasions, the criminal justice system has been criticized for handling those who commit crime with great leniency and mercy. The only way that crime can be reduced and those who intend to commit crimes in future stopped is through institution of various reforms in the criminal justice system. Through two of the criminal theories, the criminal justice system can be reformed and help and guide on making adjustments in the theory (Siegel, 2012). The two theories are the positivist theory of criminology and the classical theory of criminology. The two could help enhance the responses of the criminal justice system in the following ways.
This theory of criminology holds on to the fact and aspect that the intelligence of an individual is a central factor and issue in committing various criminal activities. A low level of intelligence in individuals is believed to be at the center of engagement in various crimes. On the basis of this theory, the criminal justice system t can benefit in the following ways in enhancing to cases where individuals engage in criminal activities such as child abuse due to low levels of intelligence.
The criminal justice system should ensure that individuals who commit crimes that they are very well aware of and capable of preventing themselves from engaging in have a mental check up before they convict them and institute heavy penalties. There should be no mercy to an individual who commits a crime and the best way to penalize such individuals by the criminal justice.

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
