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

Course Description
The aim of this course is to help each of you become a better
communicator through study and practice.
You will work to improve your ability to receive and convey information effectively through reading
and writing, speaking and listening. We will work with the essential tools of the English language:
words, sentences, and arguments. We will read a lot. We will write a lot. We will discuss often.
If you are not motivated to work hard in order to further your education, this is not the class for
you. If you are looking for an “easy A,” or just want to get a required course out of the way, you
will struggle with the workload and expectations. My job is to help you learn, but you are all legal
adults and I will expect you to comport yourselves as such. That means taking responsibility for
yourself and your learning.
No matter what you do in life, communication is an essential skill. If you can read and listen well,
if you can write and speak clearly, the whole world opens before you. If you cannot communicate
well, you limit your ability to think, learn, interact, and grow. I don’t care what you are studying,
what career you want to have, or what you want to do in life—whatever it is, being a strong
communicator will improve your life and the lives of people around you.
Course Policies
ATTENDANCE. Attendance is required. You are allowed two (2) absences without penalty.
After that, each absence will result in a three-percent (3%) reduction in your final grade. For
2. 2
example, if your course work earns you a 92%, but you have four absences during the
semester, your final grade will be an 86%. If you accrue six total absences, that is
grounds for failure of the course. There are no excused or unexcused absences. It is your
responsibility to keep track of your absences, and to communicate with me any concerns you
have. If you are habitually late to class or on your cell phone or laptop during class, I will
count each such occasion as half an absence without warning or explanation. Being present
means being present, mentally as well as physically.
READING. There will be assigned reading every week of the semester, if not every class period.
When I ask you to read something, whether it is a story, essay, article, or poem, I expect
you to read carefully, take notes, and critically assess the reading. Skimming is not reading,
and will not be satisfactory in this course. If you are not prepared to read closely, you will do
very poorly in this course.
QUIZZES. We will have quizzes frequently. Many will be quizzes over the day’s reading or the
previous class lecture. If you are not reading carefully and taking notes in class, you are likely
to do very poorly on these quizzes.
TESTS. At the end of each unit you will take a test over that unit’s material. Again, it will cover
readings, lectures, in-class materials, and any other relevant information. If you are not
keeping up with your work and studying, you are likely to do poorly on these tests.
WRITING ASSIGNMENTS. We will have a variety of writing assignments, ranging in genre
and length. Graded writing assignments will have specific, concrete expectations. If you fail
to meet a given assignment’s requirements, you will fail that assignment.
GRADING. Your performance on the above assignments determines your final grade.
Final Grade Breakdown:
Quizzes: 30% Tests: 30% Writing: 30% Attendance & Participation: 10%
Grades in ENGL 102 courses at the University of Idaho are given as A/B/C/N/F.
As a reminder: Accruing six absences, for any reason, is grounds for failing this course.
TECHNOLOGY. There will be no need for technology in this classroom except when I explicitly
ask you to use your computer or cell phone for a quiz or test. Please bring these items to
class, but keep them put away unless an activity calls for them. If I see you on your phone
or computer, I will mark you down for half an absence without warning or explanation.
MY EXPECTATIONS. You are all in this class as students. That means you are here to learn.
I expect each of you to value your education, and to put in the time and effort necessary to
make the most of it. If your goal is anything other than learning—if you just want an A, or if
3. 3
you just want to check another box toward graduation—then you are in the wrong class. In
fact, if your goal is not learning, you should not be in school at all, and your time would be
better spent in one of a thousand other productive, meaningful endeavors.
Schedule
Below is a general outline of the semester until Spring Recess. Quizzes will not be announced
beforehand, so you should always come to class prepared for a quiz on the day’s reading or
previous lecture. Tests will be at the end of every unit. “Readings” should be completed before
class. So, for Week 1, Thursday 1/16, you should have already read this syllabus before class.
This schedule is subject to change as the semester develops. Refer to BbLearn and come to
class for the latest updates.

one another in discussion, in action, in teaching, and in learning.
