Sally Kornbluth, President
MIT

Dear President Kornbluth,

It is disheartening to see the weak action that your administration has taken to provide a safe environment for Jewish students.

Suspending students just from “non-academic” activities is like restricting a domestic abuser from the bedroom but allowing the abuser to stay in the kitchen, living room and bathroom.  This action does not eliminate the heightened danger to Jewish students from the campus. 

Furthermore, concern over the Biden administration actually cancelling these violent protesters’ visas is ludicrous. The reason for not outright suspending these violent protestors is meritless.  The extraordinarily minute risk of the Biden administration cancelling these students’ visas is well worth assuming in order to eliminate the risk these violent protestors pose to Jewish students.  If some students do lose their visas from suspension then that is the price they should pay for pushing their hate on American soil.

Additionally, MIT has taken no action against the Coalition Against Apartheid (CAA).  MIT should suspend this group from its campus like other colleges have done with pro-Hamas groups that threaten the safety of Jewish students.

I urge you to outright suspend students from all campus activities who physically encountered, verbally abused and or threatened Jewish students and suspend the Coalition Against Apartheid (CAA).  

You must put out the fire of hate toward Jewish students on your campus.
