A group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) alumni, including Arthur Carp, is planning a hostile takeover of the MIT Board to oust the current president, Sally Kornbluth, due to their dissatisfaction with her handling of antisemitism, pro-Palestinian protests, and embrace of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The disconnect between American Jews and mainstream Jewish organizations is highlighted by discussions on supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, concerns about an oppressor-oppressed ideology leading to antisemitism, and outrage over anti-Israel propaganda in schools.

The Jewish community is currently witnessing a surge in antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiments, exacerbated by recent events like the Hamas massacre in Israel, leading to increased incidents of hate crimes and discrimination against Jewish and Israeli individuals.

Antisemitism is becoming a growing issue at elite private schools, prompting administrators to seek ways to combat it.
