MIT BACKS president and praises her after congressional testimony

MIT is standing behind its president Sally Kornbluth after her disastrous testimony saw her refusing to answer whether calling for the genocide of Jews constitutes harassment.

The prestigious school's governing body declared its unwavering support for the academic on Thursday - days after Kornbluth, Harvard's Claudine Gay, and uPenn's Liz Magill said calling for the genocide of Jews was anti-Semitic hate speech but didn't necessarily break their school rules.

'The MIT Corporation chose Sally to be our president for her outstanding academic leadership, her judgment, her integrity, her moral compass, and her ability to unite our community around MIT’s core values,' the school said in a statement.
