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. PRESENT SIMPLE
FORM: Affirmative.
I/ you / we / they work as (a) teacher(s)
He / She works* in a bank
The third person “s”: work ---- works
1) teaches/ washes / boxes / kisses / does
2) study ---- studies (however: play --- plays)
3. NEGATIVE:
I / you / we / they don’t walk to school
She / he /it doesn’t work (3rd person sing)
INTERROGATIVE:
Where do you/they/we live?
What does she/he do? (third person
singular)
4. USES
1) For habits or repeated actions*:
Students usually walk to school.
Does Paul always do his homework?
I am never late for school
We usually have frequency adverbs or
time expressions indicating frequency:
every day, twice a month, from time to
time, once in a while ….
5. 2) Facts that stay the same for a long time
(states):
We live in Córdoba
He works in a bank
3) General truths about a person or the world:
I speak three languages
The sun rises in the east
4) With a future sense: when we talk about
“timetables, programmes..etc for public transport,
cinemas…
The bus leaves Plymouth at 1.30 and arrives in
London at 13.45
What time does the film start?
6. PRESENT CONTINUOUS
FORM: Subject + to be + …ing
I am listening* to music
Are you studying English?
We aren’t learning Greek this year.
-ing adding rules: listen – listening
smoking, coming, writing (we drop the “e”)
We double the last consonant:
- running, stopping,
- permitting, beginning,
- travelling, programming (in British English)
Be careful: studying, playing!!!!
7. USES:
1) For an activity happening at the moment of
speaking.
What’s that smell? Something is burning.
Why are you wearing that funny hat?.
2) For an activity happening for a limited period of
time at or near the present, but not
necessarily at the moment.
Please don’t take that book. Anne is reading it.
3) For future plans or arrangements:
We are going to the cinema this evening.
8. STATE (STATIVE) VERBS
1- Verbs of mind:
Know, understand, think*, believe, forget,
remember, mean, doubt
PAY ATTENTION!!
*Think (= have an opinion /= believe)
What do you think of classical music?
I think it’s boring
Think (= have in one’s thought/ mental
process)
You aren’t listening to me. What are you thinking
about?
9. 2- Verbs of emotion and feeling:
like, dislike, love, hate, prefer, want, care,
detest, loathe
LIKE
We don’t usually use to like in the continuous. However, when to like
means “enjoy”, it can be used in the continuous:
How are you liking this hot weather? = How do you like this hot
weather?
It is just possible to use love, hate and loathe in the affirmative and in
the same way:
Are you liking your new job? No, I’m hating it / Yes, I am loving it. = Do
you like your new job? No, I hate it / Yes, I love it.
But it is safer for the students to use the simple present tenses!!!!!
10. 3- Verbs of the senses: They tend to be used
with “can”
See, smell, taste, hear (involuntary actions)
See can be used in the continuous when it
means “to meet by appointment , to visit as
a tourist or to escort”:
I am seeing the doctor tomorrow.
Tom is seeing the town/ the sights.
Bill is seeing you home after the party, isn’t
he?
But…
I see what you mean (understand)
I can see the sea from my window.
11. smell .
Notice the difference:
I smell gas. There must be a leak somewhere
(involuntary action)
Why are you smelling the fish? Has it gone
bad?
(a deliberate action: “sniff at”)
12. feel:
When to feel means “think” (creer/opinar), it cannot be
used in the continuous: I feel the exam was unfair
Or when it means “notice”, it cannot be used in the
continuous: Don’t you feel the house shaking?
However, when to feel is followed by an adjective, such as
well/ill, hot/ cold, tense/relaxed, happy/sad,
nervous/confident, anxious/relieved, angry/pleased, is
normally used in the simple tense, but can be used in the
continuous:
How do you feel? / How are you feeling?
I feel / I’m feeling better /quite well.
He feels/ is feeling much happier now.
13. 4) Verbs of possession:
Have*, own, belong
That book belongs to me.
Have (=Possess)
I have brown hair
Have + noun (it implies activity)
I’m having a bath / We’re having dinner
14. 5) Certain other verbs:
depend, consist, seem
A newspaper costs about 40p.
Be careful! That bottle contains poison.
