MIT alums rip 'disastrous' antisemitism testimony but stop short of calling for resignation
Fox News
Over 700 MIT alumni are calling on the school's administration to take action after President Sally Kornbluth's "disastrous" congressional testimony last week.
"Exactly what kind of message was the MIT Corporation trying to send to the MIT community, and especially its Jewish members, with such a statement so at odds with the overwhelming majority of the public?" the letter states. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"President Kornbluth’s failure to control antisemitism on MIT’s campus has distracted MIT’s students and administration from MIT’s core mission," the alumni say. "We are alarmed to observe MIT earning a national reputation for antisemitism on President Kornbluth’s watch, rather than for academic excellence, and joining a group of ignominious universities currently struggling with antisemitism on their campuses."
