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

2. Meaning Of a Political Party
A group of people who come together to contest elections and hold power in the
government. They agree on some policies and programmes for the society with a
view to promote the collective good. They seek to implement these policies by
winning popular support through elections. Parties reflect fundamental political
divisions in a society. A political party has three components :
(i) The leaders
(ii) The active members
(iii) The followers
3. Functions Of a Political Party
Parties contest elections. Elections are fought mainly among the candidates put up by
political parties.
Parties put forward different policies and programmes and the voters choose from them.
A party reduces a vast multitude of opinions into a few basic positions which it
supports. A government is expected to base its policies on the line taken by the
Ruling Party.
Parties play a decisive role in making laws for a country.
4. Parties form and run governments. Parties recruits leaders, trains them and then make
ministers to run the government in the way they want.
Parties that lose in the elections play the role of opposition to the parties in power, by
voicing different views and criticising government for its failures or wrong policies.
Parties shape public opinion. They raise and highlight issues. Often opinions in the
society crystallise on the lines parties take.
Parties provide people access to government machinery and welfare schemes.
5. Necessity
Modern Democracies cannot exist without political parties. If there are no political parties,
every candidate in the elections will be independent. So no one will be able to make
promises to people about any major policy changes. The government may be formed, but
its utility will remain ever uncertain. Elected representatives will be accountable to their
constituency for what they do in the locality. But n one will be responsible for how the
country run.
The rise of political parties is directly linked to the emergence of representative
democracies. Large scale societies need special agency to gather different views on
various issues and to present these to the government, to bring various representatives
together so that a responsible government could be formed, a mechanism to support or
restrain the government, make policies, justify or oppose them. Political parties fulfill
these needs.
6. How many parties should we have ?
Single Party system –
In some countries only one party is allowed
to control and run the government. These
are called one-party systems. China is a
e.g., only the Communist Party is allowed
to rule. The electoral system des not permit
free competition for power. This is not a
democratic option. Democratic system
must allow at least two parties to compete
in elections and provide a fair chance for
the competing parties to come to power.
Two –party system –
In some countries power usually changes
between two main parties . Several other
parties may exist , contest elections and
win a few seats in the national legislatures.
But only the two main parties have a
serious chance of winning majority of seats
to form government. The United States of
America and the United Kingdom are
examples of two-party system.
7. Multi - Party system – If several parties compete for power, and more then two parties
have a reasonable chance of coming to power either on their own strength or in alliance
with others, we call it a multi-party system. When several parties in a multi-party system
join hands for the purpose of contesting elections and winning power, it is called an
alliance or front. In India there were three such major alliances in 2004 parliamentary
elections – the National Democratic Alliance, the United Progressive Alliance and the
Left Front. The multi-party system often appears very messy and leads to political
instability.
8. Party system is not something any country can choose. It evolves over a long time,
depending on the nature of society, its social and regional divisions, its history of politics
and its system of elections. Each country develops a party system that is conditioned by
its special circumstances. If India has evolved a multi-party system, it is because the
social and geographical diversity in such a large country is not easily absorbed by two or
even three parties. No system is ideal for all countries and all situations.
9. National Political Parties
Democracies that follow a federal system all
over the world tend to have two kinds of
political parties : parties that are present in
only of the federal units and parties that are
present in several or all unites of the
federation. There are some country-wide
parties , which are called ‘national parties’.
These parties have their units in various
states. But by and large all these units follow
the same policies, programmes and strategy
that is decided at the national level. These
parties are given a unique symbol – only the
official candidates of that party can use that
election symbol. Parties that get this privilege
and some other special facilities are
‘recognised’ by the Election Commission for
this purpose. That is why these parties are
called, ‘recognised political parties’.
A party that secures at least six percent of
total votes in Lok Sabha elections or
Assembly elections in four States and wins at
least four seats in the Lok Sabha is
recognised as a national party.
10. Indian National
Congress (INC)
One of the oldest parties of
the world, founded in
1885.

Indian politics at the
national and state level for
several decades, sought to

Sangh.

inspiration from India’s ancient culture and values, Cultural
nationalism, full territorial and political integration of Jammu
and Kashmir with India, Uniform Civil Code and ban on
religious conversion are its main agenda.
Came to power in 1998 as the leader of the National
Democratic Alliance, lost elections in 2004, is the principal
opposition party in the Lok Sabha.
12. Bahujan Samaj Party

and communalism, critical of the new economic policies that allow free flow of foreign
capital and goods .

factory workers, farmers, agricultural labourers and the intelligentsia.
Was in power in West Bengal without a break for 30 years. In 2004 elections, it won
about 6 percent of votes and 43 seats in the Lok Sabha.

16. State Parties
A party that secures at least 6 per cent
of the total votes in an election to the
Legislative Assembly of a State and
wins at least two seats is recognised
as a State Party.
Over the last three decades, the
number and the strength of these
parties has expanded. This made the
Parliament of India more politically
more and more diverse. No one
national party is able to secure on its
own a majority in Lok Sabha. As a
result, the national parties are
compelled to from alliances with State
parties. Since 1996, nearly every one
of the State parties has got an
opportunity to be a part of one or the
other national level coalition
government. This has contributed to
the strengthening of federalism and
democracy in our country.
17. Challenges to Political Parties
All over the world people express strong dissatisfaction with the failure of political
parties to perform their functions well. Popular dissatisfaction and criticism has focused
on four problem areas in the working of the political parties.
Lack of Internal Democracy – Political parties have concentration of power in one or
few leaders at the top. Ordinary members, do not get sufficient information on what
happens inside the party. Parties do not conduct internal elections regularly. More then
loyalty to party principles and policies, personal loyalty to the leader becomes more
important.
18. Dynastic Succession – Political parties do not practice open and transparent
procedures of their functioning, there are very few ways for an ordinary worker to rise to
the top in a party. The top positions are always controlled by members of one family.
This can prove harmful to democracy, since many a times people who do not have
adequate experience or popular support come to occupy positions of power.
19. Growing role of Money and Muscle Power – Since political parties are focused only
on winning elections, they tend to use short-cuts to win elections. They tend to
nominate those candidates who have or can raise lots of money. Rich people and
companies who give funds to the parties tend to have influence on the policies and
decisions of the party.
20. Lack of Meaningful Choice – Very often parties do not seem to offer a meaningful
choice to the voters. In recent years there has been a decline in the ideological
differences among parties in most parts of the world. Those who want really different
policies have no option available to them. Sometime people cannot even elect very
different leaders either, because the same set of leaders keep shifting from one party to
another.
21. How can parties be reformed ?
Some of the recent efforts to reform political parties and its leaders are –
The Constitution was amended to prevent elected MLAs and MPs from changing
parties. This was done because many elected representatives were indulging in
Defection in order to become ministers or for cash rewards. Now the laws says that if
nay MLA or MP changes parties, he or she will lose the seat in the legislature. But it has
a drawback also as now MPs and MLAs have to accept whatever the party leaders
decide.
22. The Supreme Court passed an order to reduce the influence of money and criminals.
Now, it is mandatory for every candidate who contests elections to file an affidavit
giving details of this property and criminal cases pending against him.
The Election Commission passed an order making it necessary for political parties to
hold their organizational elections and file their income tax returns.
23. Suggestions often
made to reform
political parties :
A law should be made to
regulate the internal affairs
of political parties, to
maintain a registar of its
members, to follow its own
constitution, to have an
independent authority, to
act as a judge in case of
party disputes, to hold
open elections to the
highest posts.
To give minimum number
of tickets, about one-third,
to women candidates,
quota for women in the
decision making bodies of
the party.
There should be state
funding of elections.
24. Other ways in which
Political Parties can be
reformed –
People can put pressure
on political parties. This
can be done through
petitions, publicity and
agitations. Ordinary
citizens, pressure groups
and movements and the
media can play an
important role in this.
Political parties can
improve if those who want
this join political parties. It
is difficult to reform politics
if ordinary citizens do not
take part in it and simply
criticise it from the
outside. The problem of
bad politics can be solved
by more and better
politics.
