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. Professional Ethics
Every profession has its own professional ethics.
The professional ethics signify the code of conduct to be adopted by the persons who profess that
profession.
The professional ethics emerges in the form of broad principles which are to be followed for
rendering service to the people for their welfare.
These principles are based upon the socio cultural and philosophical foundation of the society.
They are the result of the best human values which have been proved to bebeneficial to the
mankind by deep reflection and centuries of practiced living.
The roots of the professional ethics for the teacher can be found in the ancient Indian literature
such as Upanishads, Geeta etc. These texts have expectations of the society from the teachers.
For e.g. the teacher should idealist in thinking, possess professional morality and conscience and
has high standard of behavior. The teacher must transmit all his learning to the pupil etc.
Describing the role of the teacher Bhagwat Geeta says, “A true teacher helps a pupil to discover his
own personal philosophy or the invisible sunwithin him”.

Unfortunately in modern times, the teaching profession has degenerated from its
high ideals and ethical values to the level of merely a service oriented vocation.
Thus, there ismuch need of educating the teacher in teacher’s professional ethics.

manners he should be as ideal to be followed by others.
There is no doubt that the teacher should discharge his obligations and duties
intelligently, diligently, honestly, sincerely and uncomplainingly.
This is the demand and expectation of the society from his profession.
But at the same time the community should also look at his needs, his emoluments,
his status and prestige in commen surate to his functions and role.

and their rights.
