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

5. When Skimming
Don’t read every thing but try to skip the
text
Read the first and last sentences of
paragraphs
Read the introduction and the summary
Read a few examples until you understand
the concepts they are meant to illustrate
7. How to SKIM ?
Read the title
Read the subtitle or introduction
Read the first sentences of each
paragraph
Notice any picture, charts, or graphics
Read the summary or last paragraph if
there is one
8. Let’s practice skimming using the
question below.
Choose a heading that best matches the upcoming
paragraph. Remember to underline your key words.
• Parents are to blame for the state of children today.
• A report with many conclusions and worries about the
United Kingdom.
• Growing up unhappy generation
• There are so many social problems young people face
today.
9. Let’s skim the first and last sentences from the passage.
In recent years, evidence has been collected which suggests that the
proportion of British children and teenagers who are unhappy is higher
than in many other developed countries around the world. For example, a
recently published report set out to measure ‘ well-being’ among young
people in nineteen European countries, found that the United Kingdom
came bottom. The report was based on statistics and surveys in which
young people answered questions on a wide range of subject. The United
Kingdom is a relatively unequal country with a relatively high proportion of
young people living in households. With less than half the national average
income. This seems to have a negative effect on how they feel about
themselves.
So what’s our answer?
Choose the heading that best matches the previous paragraph.
a. Parents are to blame for the state of children today
b. A report with many conclusions and worries about the United Kingdom
c. Growing up unhappy generation
d. There are so many social problems young people face today
