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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2. 1960 music video
I’m a believer – The Monkees
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EqneoPcjwU
Features in this music video:
• Group singing on stage
• Not great audio quality
• Not great camera quality
• Group don’t need mic
• A range of different camera shots
•
In this music video it shows that music videos were in the early stages of using colour so the colours were not too
vibrant. I liked this music video because it shows the basic outline of what music videos in the 1960s were like and
how they were portrayed.
3. 1970s music video
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ&list=PLhGxwqriFAqtWRmUrqV85rWNjQdPfcskf
Different Features in this music video
• Scene changes
• Lighting change
• Camera effects used
• Fade in shots used
• Shot reverse shots used
• Artificial lighting
•
In this music video you can see a lot of work has been put into it with the effects and editing. This music video
shows the development in technology from the 1960s as more visual effects have been used and the camera
quality has improved.
4. 1980s music video
Beat It – Michael Jackson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRdxUFDoQe0&list=PL1GnTnnMiUb5_eIZqu9kNAJ6gcPUyOT7u&index=13
Karma Chameleon – Culture Club
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmcA9LIIXWw&list=PL1GnTnnMiUb5_eIZqu9kNAJ6gcPUyOT7u&index=4
Different features in the music video
• A lot of bright colours
• Synchronised dance routine
• Symbolic objects
• Links between the music video and the music
• Stereotyping
I have chosen both these videos as they show the development in music videos in different ways. For example ‘Beat It’ shows off
the use of synchronised dance routines and how they make the music video more effective. Also Michael wears a red jacket in the
video, which is a symbolic sign of him as he wears it in other music videos (e.g. Thriller). This also introduces the theory of Bathes
‘Signs and signifiers’. The music video also introduces stereotyping as the men are wearing black leather outfits and are street
fighting and they are represented as gangsters. Whereas ‘Karma Chameleon’ uses a range of different colours and uses unique
outfits to make the lead singer stand out.

5. 1990s music videos
Livin’ La Vida Loca – Ricky Martin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p47fEXGabaY&list=PL8wxeLTlTkgXBk4Iup8yufRhwHbHd90C1&index=53
Different features in the music video
• Disco themed
• Flashing lights
• Full on synchronised dance routine
• Improved audio
• Extravagant outfits
• Fast camera shots
• Male gaze introduced
•
This music video shows development as there are a lot more fast action shots to represent the fast pace of the song. Also
the theory of Mulvey is introduced ‘The Male Gaze’ when Ricky looked into camera. The outfits were very typical of the
disco era as they were very vibrant and jazzy like the music. In this music video there is a strong link between the dancing
and the lyrics throughout the music video. Also the music video has shown development as the audio quality and camera
quality has improved a lot.
6. 2000s music video
Toxic – Britney Spears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOZuxwVk7TU&index=25&list=PL5C66A990384A9242
Different features in the music video
• Starting to use visual effects
• Bringing out female sexuality
• Winship’s theory introduced
• Technology skills improved
• Transitions used
•
This music video shows off Britney’s good looks and her youth, which appeals well to her TA. They have used the stereotypical
feature of having sexual airhostesses as they are stereotyped to all be good looking, young and sexy. She also creates direct address
a lot when she sharply turns her head towards the camera, which supports the theory of Winship ‘The Gaze’ where she makes
herself sexually appealing to a male audience. The use of transitions in the video shows how music videos have developed as the
video has been edited to make the shots change my the screen spiralling around. Also they have placed a different background
behind her in one of the shots to make it look like she is in Paris but it has been edited to make everything look red to work in
cohesion of her hair and clothing.
7. 2010-16 music video
Pillowtalk – Zayn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_3d6GntKbk
Bad blood – Taylor Swift
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo
Scream and Shout – Will.i.am .feat Britney Spears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYtGl1dX5qI
Different features in music video
• Dominated by effects
• A lot of transitions
• Extreme looks
• Great quality of sound and picture
• Sound effects used
• Vocals changed in songs
8. 2010-16
I have chosen these three videos as I feel they truly show how music videos have developed
over the years. I feel that in most music videos a lot of effects are used to either create
meaning and emotion or to make the video more eye catching. For example in Taylor Swifts
video there are loads of explosions along with other celebrities in the video which make it so
popular. In ‘Scream and Shout’ the technology is used to the extreme where in every shot
that Will.i.am is edited in some way, which I think is very typical of him and it is what he is
known for. I particularly like the shot where the camera captures and freeze frames his
movements to clone him, I feel this shows off how far technology has come. In the song
‘Pillowtalk’ I feel that the effects are used to create representations as there is a red light on
him which represents love and evil, which suggests that it could be a dark song about one of
his lovers. This video is dominated by transitions and effects to show off how different
modern day music videos actually are. I feel the key to the development of the music videos
is due to the technology used over the years and how it has improved.
