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
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

2. This was the promotion background. After researching many different promotions contained plain backgrounds or very colourful ones. I chose red because it symbolised love and passion, this was a nice undercoat to the storyline.
3. This is a image of the actor’s back the reason for this is because he has turned his back on his life and the people that he loved the most. Furthermore, I wanted him to be looking into something which was going t be placed in front of him.
4. I placed a mirror in front of him to emphasize his obsession with himself, however this seemed uncompleted so I had to think of something to place in front of it.
5. After looking at the plain mirror image I wanted it to have more texture and meaning so I change the opacity on the mirror. The reason I did this was to show the audience that the mirror was going to represent the past.
6. I then cracked the mirror by rubbing out small crack lines in the mirror. I did this with a template of an actual cracked mirror. This emphasized his distort relationship and the broken life which he now lived.
7. I chose a gold mirror because gold symbolises excessive wealth and is seen as a commodity. So what ever is in the mirror is something very precious to him.
8. The shadow on the side of the speaker gave it more of club feel and was pleasing to the eye. I left this their on the side so the audience would know that this was a music promotion.
9. The title On & On, was the title of the song. I chose black so it stands out from the background. I chose to keep it it simple and not over do the text as it would make the promotion seem all over the place then.
10. This showed the audience different ways on how they can retrieve the songs. The normal method of trying to obtain a song is by buying the CD however we gave another options which is downloading which many people do nowadays which makes it much more easier to obtain and cheaper to get.
11. After choosing the image which was going to be placed in the mirror was this one. The reason for this was because in this image the couple seem in love and happy. This was going to represent the past.
12. I edited the image by rubbing out the outline and then I put on an effect which was diffuse glow. The reason I did this was because it looked like it was faded in the past, moreover the glow makes it seem like a memory.
13. After that I placed the image in the mirror and rubbed out the cracks again so the cracks was going through the couple emphasizing the broken relationship
14. Once again I changed the opacity of the image to fit into the mirror and also give it the past effect. The way the actor is looking at the mirror makes it seem unbelievable as you do not see these things in a mirror this only means that what is represented in the mirror is his thoughts and feelings.
15. We changed the colour of the title to as we thought it looked more pleasing to the eye as this symbolises love and goes well with the theme.
