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. News from the Foreshore Recording
and Observation Group
Vauxhall FROG
The Vauxhall Group may be small, but it’s perfectly-
formed and plucky to boot. Vauxhall has been a rather
challenging site in many ways. We’ve been making
regular visits and been able to see first-hand the rapid
changes going on at the site. In the western half of the
zone, where the Bronze-Age structure is situated,
significant erosion has made access a bit hair-raising at
times, but it is also exposing peat deposits, new
features and flint fragments. This has given the
Vauxhall FROG a chance to improve our flint-flake-
spotting skills. In the eastern half of the site, erosion is
exposing more of the underlying peat and a discrete
concentration of fire-cracked flints. We also seem to
have a couple of little new islands appearing along the
site, which appear to be made of redeposited material.
There’s everything to play for at Vauxhall, as the site is
earmarked for significant disruption as part of Thames
Water’s Tideway Tunnel project but the TDP, with
support from English Heritage and SLAEC, are on the
case!

Bankside FROG
The Bankside Group has been visiting the site
quite regularly over the past 6 months and is now
getting to grips with the complexities of not only the
site itself, but also the original survey, especially as
the area has changed considerably over the past
15 or so years. We’re finding that, as the site is
large and there are lots of structures and features,
we’ve naturally divided it into thirds, rather than
trying to do the whole lot in one go each time.
We’re already noticing changes, with erosion
resulting in the exposure of previously-covered
peat levels, and the deterioration of the bottom of
the main access route, Globe Stairs. There has
also been some deposition with the growth of an
enormous pile of pebbles and allsorts, now known
as ‘The Beast’. There’s lots of ongoing FROGging
to be doing at this site, although this is one that
may be affected by the Jubilee/Olympics
jamborees, so this summer could be a bit tricky.

Forum in September
2011 our group
presented work from
the previous year.
Peter’s segment
Then and Now
showed historical
photographs of the
waterfront and
compared them with
his own over the last
50 years. Jeanne
presented the
Foreshore in
Context and
explained our
methodology for
monitoring and
recording, while
Edna’s Foreshore Forays showed artefacts we’ve found from a Late Iron Age sherd to a discarded Russian
revolver! Margaret finished the talk with History on the Street, taking us further from the site to relevant historical
locations in the Bermondsey vicinity. Altogether we felt the conference was not only informative but a great
opportunity to meet some new FROGs and touch base with those we hadn’t seen since in awhile. In November
we visited the Brunel Museum and Tunnel entrance, which set the tone for our winter research schedule.
We began 2012 with a presentation of historical maps of Bermondsey by our fellow FROG Alan Haigh. Our group
has always been interested in connecting what is happening on the waterfront to the foreshore archaeology, and
we have collected over 10 maps spanning from 1688 to the present day. Reconstructing the history of Chamber’s
Wharf and the surrounds has shed light on a number of features. Some, such as Three Mariners stairs, now only
exist on the historical maps. In March some FROGs attended the Thames Shipbuilding Symposium at the
Museum of London in Docklands. Most recently we met at LAARC to attend a session led by FROG Courtney
Nimura on our new monitoring system. We have spent the winter brainstorming about how we can make the
Feature List user-friendlier for some of our members who feel uncomfortable with computers. We now have a plan
to test this new system throughout the summer as well as record the features under Chamber’s Wharf in greater
detail. With our tide tables and recording plans organised, the field season has officially begun!
West London FROG
The group has been
busy visiting key sites
across West London,
including Chiswick,
Hammersmith, Brentford
and Isleworth, where
these photographs were
taken in February 2012.

4. Custom House FROG
More FROG News
We have made three monitoring visits to Custom
House now since we started in late February
2012, and many thanks to Ruthy for being a
founding member of the group with me. So far
we have been getting familiar with the site,
locating the items on the feature list, and taking
some initial photographs. Nearly half the site is
under a sheltered canopy with lower light, so on
the last visit we tried to improve our photographs
there. We are still getting used to the site and
the equipment and we aim to complete an
updated set of photographs of the features when
we can. We also want to look for new and
Photos by Peter previously unrecorded features - we have been
Marchant helping record an interesting feature previously
located by FROG member Mark Jennings in the
area - a livery company plaque from the
Vintners Company (see left). The other
photograph here shows another plaque the
group found, recording Thames High Water.
Greenwich FROG
It’s been an exciting few months in Greenwich. In February a
small group of FROGs were the extras in a Russian TV news
special about the foreshore. The production crew were
genuinely interested in the archaeology, but it was a pretty
grey and cold day, so hopefully they got some good shots.
In March, three of us turned up for a monitoring visit on a
particularly low tide. The top half of the site was covered in
two inches of horrible, slippy mud, so only a handful of the
features we normally monitor were visible. But what we found
instead made up for it a hundred times over. The piles below
the c12 jetty were mostly out of the water and Photo by Nat Cohen
there were several new features visible,
including a large pile of natural and worked
stones near one of the drains. But what was
really exciting was a large area of peat that
starts at the jetty and goes downriver as far as
the Naval College steps. There was a lot of
preserved wood in it, including several
complete tree trunks and what looked to us like
an in situ tree stump. There were also three,
small, round posts in the peat, just visible at
low water, lined up at a very suspicious angle.
Is it a fishtrap? Are three posts enough to tell?
Watch this space.....
