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

OCR AS Biology Fact Sheets: Malaria
1. MALARIA FACT
SHEET
What Is Malaria?
Plasmodium falciparum, AKA ‘malaria’ is a disease caused by the eukaryotic
organism of genus Plasmodium, with many species including the most common
‘vivax’ and ‘falciparum’.
Plasmodium falciparum is a parasite, which is in the protoctists kingdom.
Transmission
The transmission of Plasmodium falciparum (malaria) is very complex and requires numerous steps and
processes.
Malaria is caused a vector: the female Anopheles, a type of mosquito. The female Anopheles carries the
Plasmodium from an infected person to an uninfected person, hence transmitting the disease. The
female Anopheles’ mouth parts are adapted to have a proboscis, which pierces the blood vessel to
draw blood. The malarial parasites live in the red blood cells of the human
and feed on the haemoglobin. These are taken in by the mosquito.
Cycle Of Malaria
1) Female Anopheles mosquito sucks the
infected person’s blood, which contains the
parasite gametes into it’s stomach.
2) These gametes fuse and the zygote
develops inside the mosquito’s stomach.
3) They move to the mosquito’s salivary
glands.
4) When the mosquito bites the uninfected
person, it’s alive is injected as an
anticoagulant.
5) Saliva contains the infective state of the
parasite.
6) In the human host, the infective stages of
the parasite enter the liver, where they
multiply before passing through into the
blood.
7) In the blood, they enter the red blood cells
where they feed on haemoglobin and
gametes are produced
8) The cycle continues.
Cycle Summary
1) Mosquito carries gametes in stomach
2) Zygote formed
3) Move to saliva
4) Bites person
5) Infected person has infective stages
6) Migrate to the liver cells
7) Migrate to the red blood cells.
Ways Of Transmitting
• Use of careless and
unhygienic medical
equipment.
• Unscreened blood
transfusions.
• Unsterilised needles.
• Able to travel across the
placenta.
Little Extras To Know
• Parasites cause the illness whilst they are reproducing
inside the red blood cells, which burst out releasing
chemicals which cause fever.
• Symptoms usually appear 10-15 days after infection.
• Several drugs are used as prophylactics, taken before
infection to avoid development of malaria.
• Many Plasmodium are resistant, hence it is hard to
develop vaccines
• Some people may loose immunity because they had
no further exposure, no antigens or no boosters.
• There are many different strains of malaria.
• Difficult to make a vaccine because there is more than
one stage of the life cycle.
• Parasite can be hidden in the cells.
