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

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. 7) Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you
have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
The Journey
2. The iMac:
Throughout the progression of the course, my skills with the Macs have developed greatly. To begin with I
knew the basic things that I could do with the Macs, and if there were any more complicated things to do,
if they were the same as a PC I could do those, however I found other tasks hard as they involved skills
with the Mac that I had to develop.
These are the two front covers that I
created, the left is the preliminary task from
the start of the year, and the right is the
final product that I created last month.
I feel that when seeing the two products
side by side, it is evident how much I have
improved from the beginning of this year.
Seeing the difference between the two
products makes me feel very proud of what
I have achieved.
3. The Drafts:
The first draft of my front
cover is very basic and boxy,
I feel that it was an ok
design to begin from and
build on although it could
have been better.
My contents page design
was much better as a base
to build off of, in the end I
don’t think my final product
differs that much from my
original design, mostly just
in the colour scheme.
This design for my double page spread ended up being
the one that I stuck to the most, I really liked this design
and I tried to keep to it as much as possible, only
changing from it when absolutely necessary.
4. First Draft on Adobe:
For my first draft, I
adhered explicitly to my
design, using the same
colours as on my draft but
elaborating with the puff
slightly. Looking back now,
I am very proud of what I
produced at the end.
My contents page draft
eventually seemed too simple
to copy exactly, which meant I
had to build on it from the very
beginning. I added a puff and
changed the background
colour of it to fit the colour
scheme chosen by my TA.
For my double page spread, I focused on finding the
best font to match the design and the star image I
wanted to create, this is why the font is the main
focus of the first draft is the word ‘Dream’.
5. Second Draft:
To this draft I finished
adding the puffs that I
had intended and also
the barcode.
To this I have started
to add the articles
and choose the fonts
that I would be using
throughout the
pages.
I had chosen the pull quotes from my DPS text
that I wrote which allowed me to choose a font
and add them in the same gold colour that I used
for my puff on the contents page.
6. Third Draft:
As my skills with Photoshop
developed, so did the quality of
my pages, I have changed the
outline of the puff and
removed the square puff as it
made everything look cramped.
I also have added my image
from my photoshoot.
With this draft I have been
adding articles and
deciding where I wanted
my images to be and
adding boxes where I
wanted them to go.
I have added the text to my DPS and moved some of
it onto the second page, deviating from my plans. I
did this so that my entire article would fit and also so
that I adhered to the conventions of a double page
spread article having more text than images.
7. Draft 5:
Here I have used the brush
and smudge tools to create a
darker eyeliner and make the
makeup more dramatic. I am
very proud of how this turned
out as I think it works really
well and looks fantastic.
This draft shows that I had
added the images from
the live gig I went to that I
had planned to include
from the start.
After I added the image I felt it looked a bit plain and
so the next goal I wanted to achieve was to find a way
to fill the white space and make the page more
enticing for the reader.
8. Draft 6:
This was the draft where I
had added all of my planned
photos, some that I took at a
live gig and some that I took
on my camera at organised
shoots.
This was the draft that I thought would be the last for my
DPS, I added a black and white border that I thought
matched the font style well to create synergy throughout
the page.
9. Draft 7:
I finished adding all of my
articles and thought now that I
would be finished but I decided
that I wanted the cover and the
contents page to have more
synergy and so I turned the
background black.
After looking back at my plan, I noticed that I had planned to add
in a drop capital and that is what I changed at the start of the
article.
10. Draft 8:
I moved one of my pull quotes onto the black of the picture
to add a small pop of colour to the image and break up the
black and white, and also added a shape behind the pull
quote on the first page as I felt it looked very plain and
needed an extra addition to make the pages look better, and
also it adds synergy to match the other pages.
This is the draft with
the black
background, and
overall I think it has a
much better effect
than the white did.
Both pages are now
nearly finished and
the only other
improvements are
small changes to
match conventions of
magazines and to
make my product
clean and
professional.
12. I am very happy with the way my contents page turned out. After adding
the gold embellishments at the last minute, I think the final product looks
very polished and I think on a shelf it would look very good and fit in well
with the other magazines in the rock genre.
If I was making this magazine again, I think I would have added more
articles on the front cover, possibly using the names of older bands to try
and reach the vintage genre. I had intended to make a vintage rock
magazine however I do feel the final product is more rock orientated,
especially when judged on the cover. So if I was to make this again I would
strive to try and achieve the vintage half of the dual audience I intended
first to target.
The final product that I have created I think showcases a range of skills
that I have developed over the time in this course.
13. For my final page, I changed the image for the fashion section
as I felt it showed more clothing than the previous one, and
also I made the gaps between the sections smaller which
allowed me to add another article to the “Where Are They
Now?” section. Also I made the colour scheme for the body
text and also the font different for the headings as I felt it made
them look better but also more functional as the old ones were
quite hard to read.
If I was making this again, I think I would either keep the
background white or change it to black at an earlier stage.
Having to change the background and all of the font colours
was possibly the only ‘disaster’ as such, mostly because of how
much time it consumed to ensure I had changed all of the black
text to white and to make it all look professional.
I do feel the overall ending look is effective and looks very nice,
however I would hope that if I was making it again, the decision
on background colour would come much sooner to save a lot of
time.
14. For my final page I copied the border
around the image and opened it on a
transparent background. Using the
eraser tool and the magic wand
selection tool allowed me to remove
the white background on the border
which made it easier to place on the
image.
I think this looks effective as a page and
matches the synergy of the pages
together well, however I think if I were
to make this page again I would have
made the background black so that the
pages all looked the same and brought
the magazine together.
Overall I am very happy with the way
that all of my pages turned out, and
when comparing them to the first pages
that I made at the start of this course, it really shows how far I have come with my designing and my skill a Photoshop and the
other technologies I have used to create my pages.
