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

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. Fernando amorsolo
In 1909, he graduated with honors from the Art School of the Liceo
De Manila, then enrolled in the UP Diliman College of Fine Arts at the
tender age of seventeen where he was mentored by his uncle and
prominent Philippine painter, Fabian de la Rosa.
In 1916, he graduated with honors and was granted a sponsorship by
Spanish businessman Enrique Zóbel de Ayala to study at the Real
Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, Spain.
4. Fernando amorsolo
Returning to Manila, he produced myriad paintings from the 1920s to
1930s.
For seven months he sketched at the museums and on the streets of
Madrid, experimenting with the use of light and color.
He taught at his alma mater (UPDCFA) and served as Director of the
school’s art department between 1938 to 1952.
That winter he went to New York and discovered the works of the
postwar impressionists and cubists, who became the major influence on
his works. On his return to Manila, he set up his own studio.
5. Fernando amorsolo
During this period, Amorsolo
developed the use of light—
actually, backlight—which is his
greatest contribution to
Philippine painting.
Characteristically, an Amorsolo
painting contains a glow against
which the figures are outlined,
and at one point of the canvas
there is generally a burst of light
that highlights the smallest
detail.

6. Fernando amorsolo
After arriving in the Philippines,
Amorsolo set out to the
Philippine countryside, a favorite
of his. His work, Crossing the
River (1924) depicts a river in the
province of Tarlac. It was
commissioned by tobacco
company La Tabacalera.
Crossing the River, 1924
7. Fernando amorsolo
Representative of one of Amorsolo’s
favorite themes: maidens in the water.
Paintings allowed Amorsolo to display
all his talents and techniques amid the
rising influence of abstract art at that
time. Here, Amorsolo displays his
masterstroke and most difficult
technique: the effervescent sunlight as it
reflected on the movement of the clear
water. Such paintings were Amorsolo’s
answer to the “threat” of abstract art.
The Bathers, 1953
8. Fernando amorsolo
Another powerful
postwar creation
is The Filipino
Family (1952). The
painting as rich in
metaphor, and
describes it as one of
the most epic works
of Amorsolo.

9. Fernando amorsolo
Amorsolo sometimes catered to
Western clients, who were the ones
who appreciated art at the time. In
some cases, he painted
commissioned portraits of
American or European people. His
1941 Portrait of a Boy is one such
example.

His most
expensive piece
to ever sell on
auction is Under
the Mango
Tree (1952),
which sold for
P46,720,000 in
2018.

11. Fernando amorsolo
He received multiple accolades including a UNESCO Gold Medal of
Recognition, a Rizal-Pro Patria Award from the Far Eastern University,

Philippines.
Throughout his life, Amorsolo’s sketches and studies are estimated to
number over 10,000 pieces. In 1972, five days after his death, he was
posthumously honored with the Philippines’ first National Artist Award
for Painting. He left behind a trail of legacies around the world in the
form of priceless paintings that depicted virtue showed his sense of
optimism.

37. Napoleon Abueva
All About Him
• Name: Napoleon Isabelo Veloso Abueva
• Born: January 26, 1930
• February 16, 2018
• Father of Modern Philippine Sculpture
• Youngest Awardee of Philippine National Artist for Sculpture at age
of 46 by President Ferdinand Marcos at 1976
• Finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture at the University of
the Philippines (UP) in 1953 and after studies abroad (Harvard
University), Abueva helped shape the local sculpture scene in the
Philippines.
38. Napoleon Abueva
• when Abueva was a schoolboy, that he first noticed the
sculptural quality of clay and began to mold it into the shape
of carabao, or water buffalo common in the Philippines.
Carabao Carving, 1972 Carabao 1971
Carabao, 1965 Carabaos, 1981
39. Napoleon Abueva
• These first experiments with clay
soon turned into a fully fledged
dedication to the visual arts as
Abueva began to collect various
scholarships throughout the
Philippines and abroad. At a pivotal
point of his development as an artist,
he was granted a scholarship at
Harvard University.
40. Napoleon Abueva
• Adept in both academic representational style and modern
abstract, Abueva has utilized almost all kinds of materials from
hard wood (molave, acacia, langka (jackfruit) wood, ipil,
kamagong, palm wood and bamboo to adobe, metal, stainless
steel, cement, marble, bronze, iron, alabaster, coral and brass.
• Abueva received much recognition as early as his college years,
during which he was mentored by Guillermo Tolentino, the first
National Artist for Sculpture and creator of the UP Oblation.
41. Napoleon Abueva
• Abueva’s own style is at the same time
incredibly varied and instantly recognizable –
many of his sculptures that now sit in public
places in the Philippines and abroad convey a
sense of realism with their intimately physical
presence, lifelike forms and evocative gestures.
42. Napoleon Abueva Major Works

Gardens Memorial Park

Canning Singapore
43. Napoleon Abueva
• Abueva gets his inspiration from a range of
sources, including popular mythology, history
and day-to-day life. It is this aspect of his work
that betrays an ongoing affinity with the work
and style of his mentor, Guillermo Tolentino,
whose oeuvre was monumental in its reverence
for the classical school and
ancient Greek sculpture.
44. Napoleon Abueva Major Works
Childbirth, 2001
Childbirth (2001), another
realistic piece made from
bronze, is an honest and
simple representation of
labour, to the point where
its straightforward
frankness becomes almost
uncomfortable to the
viewer as the woman in
the sculpture holds her
newborn in her right hand,
the left still holding on to
the umbilical cord.
45. Napoleon Abueva
The theme of motherhood, or the
archetype of the mother, is present
throughout his oeuvre, and serves as a
good point of comparison for his varied
techniques. One of these, a bronze
statuette, represents a mother kneeling,
and raising her child high up above her
head in a gesture of exaltation,
emboldened still further by the natural
shine of the material – the scene is
resplendent and conveys the pride of
motherhood and relationship between
mother and child in all their glory.

Mother and Child (1953) Mother and Child (1960)
On the other hand,
one of Abueva’s
most widely known
sculptures sharing
this theme,
titled Mother and
Child (1960s), is a
confident example of
Abueva’s whimsical
departures from
Realism..
47. Napoleon Abueva Major Works
Abueva’s sculptures, in addition to
representing his unique vision, frequently
seem to serve a specific function.
Somewhat humbly, he insists that
“sculpture is actually manual labor,” and
infuses much of his work with a practical
purpose.

Nine Muses of the Arts
The surprising Nine Muses of
the Arts, located at the UP
Diliman campus, is a tribute to
the arts, from the traditional
media of painting and music to
new media: cinema and
computer art. The function of
his public works lies in the way
they inspire respect for
previous generations and
remind the viewers of the past,
of heroism, of the moments
that made history, while
keeping a watchful eye over
the present.
