We live in unprecedented times... technology is disrupting learning and work as we know it. Machines are taking over more and more jobs and we need to be preparing this generation for a very uncertain unpredictable rapidly changing world. Education needs to shift to a world of abundant knowledge, leveraged through networks, and knowledge engines.

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

“If you are not so worried about presenting yourself as absolutely unique, then
it’s O.K.
…if you say other people’s words, it’s O.K. if you say things you don’t believe,
…it’s O.K. if you write papers you couldn’t care less about because they
accomplish the task, which is turning something in and getting a grade
… and it’s O.K. if you put words out there without getting any credit.”
~Susan D. Blum anthropologist at The University of Notre Dame,
author of “My Word!: Plagiarism and College Culture” on student attitudes
toward plagiarism
10. It’s out there, why not reuse it?
What does intellectual property mean to you? Is it
an important idea, why or why not?
With so much information out there, is there such
a thing as an original idea? Does that mean you
have to credit every single person?
How does plagiarism affect academia?

“The students may have failed to pull off a spectacular hoax, but they
surely learned a tremendous amount in the process.”
13. Why does it matter?
What are the pros and cons of so much
information being online?
What do you do to be sure you’re finding
more than “information junk food”?
◦ How do you evaluate the information you find
while researching?
Why is it important to support your
argument with valid sources?
14. Common Knowledge Quandary
“I’ve heard that common knowledge doesn’t
have to be cited. What is common
knowledge?”
Some examples:
◦ Waste not, want not.
◦ George Washington was the first president of the
US
◦ College students like pizza…
When in doubt, cite it.
15. The point is…
No matter where you are, you will
constantly need to assess the information
around you
In order to be an informed consumer you
should know how to evaluate the
information you acquire
In order to support your own arguments
you should know how to research your
question and cite your sources
