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
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.

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. ACADEMIC
WRITING
• What is academic writing?
• Academic writing is writing
which communicates ideas,
information and research to the
wider academic community.
• It’s what students are expected
to produce for classes and what
professors and academic
researchers use to write
scholarly materials.
3. • Academic writing is a formal style
of writing used in universities and
scholarly publications.
• You’ll encounter it in journal
articles and books on academic
topics, and you’ll be expected to
write your essays, research
papers and dissertation in
academic style.
4. Differences between Academic Writing and
other writing
• Writing is a skill that is required in many contexts throughout life. For
instance, you can write an email to a friend or reflect on what happened
during the day in your personal diary.
• In these kinds of interpersonal settings, the aim may be to communicate the
events that have happened in your life to someone close to you, or to
• It is expected that in writing about these life events, you will include your
personal judgements and evaluations, which may be measured by your
feelings and thoughts.
5. • There is no need to follow a structure, as prose on the page or
the computer screen appears through freely associated ideas.
• Similarly, another quality of writing in personal contexts is that it
is typically informal, so there is no need to adhere to structures
of punctuation or grammar (although your reader may be quite
appreciative if you do so).
• In these settings, it is perfectly acceptable to deploy
colloquialisms, casual expressions, and abbreviations, like
cool”, “by the way…”, “b4”, and “thru”.
6. In contrast, academic writing does many of the things that personal writing does
not.
• Firstly, some kind of structure is required, such as a beginning, middle, and
end. This simple structure is typical of an essay format, as well as other
assignment writing tasks, which may not have a clearly articulated structure.
• A second difference between academic writing and other writing genres is
based on the citation of published authors.
• If you make judgements about something in academic writing, there is an
expectation that you will support your opinion by linking it to what a
published author has previously written about the issue.
• Indeed, citing the work of other authors is central to academic writing because
it shows you have read the literature, understood the ideas, and have
integrated these issues and varying perspectives into the assignment task.
7. • Thirdly, in academic writing you should always
follow rules of punctuation and grammar.
Punctuation as well as the conventions of
grammar are universally known systems that
maintain clarity and avoid ambiguity in
expression.
8. ACADEMIC WRITING
• Academic writing is generally quite formal, objective, impersonal,
and technical.
• It is formal by avoiding casual or conversational language, such as
contractions or informal vocabulary.
• It is impersonal and objective by avoiding direct reference to people or
feelings, and instead emphasizing objects, facts and ideas.
• It is technical by using vocabulary specific to the discipline.
20XX presentation title 8
10. 10
• formal tone - A formal tone is always used in academic
writing. It is not lighthearted or conversational in tone.
Slang and clichés do not belong in this type of writing.
• precise language - In keeping with the formal tone, it’s
important to choose precise language that very clearly
conveys the author’s meaning.
• point-of-view (POV) - Academic writing is usually
written in third person point of view because its focus is
to educate on the facts rather than to support an opinion
or give advice.
11. • research focus - Because most academic writing
involves reporting research results, it tends to focus on
the specific research question(s) being studied.
• organization - Academic writing should be organized
logically. Use headings to delineate each major section.
• source citations - Most academic writing includes at
least some secondary research sources. Be sure to
properly cite all sources and include a bibliography.
20XX presentation title 11
12. FORMAL LANGUAGE
You can make your writing more formal through the vocabulary that you
use. For academic writing:
• choose formal instead of informal vocabulary. For example, ‘somewhat’
is more formal than ‘a bit’, ‘insufficient’ is more formal than ‘not
enough’.
• avoid contractions. For example, use ‘did not’ rather than ‘didn’t’.
• avoid emotional language. For example, instead of strong words such as
‘wonderful’ or ‘terrible’, use more moderate words such as ‘helpful’ or
‘problematic’.
• instead of using absolute positives and negatives, such as ‘proof’ or
‘wrong’, use more cautious evaluations, such as ‘strong evidence’ or ‘less
convincing’.
20XX presentation title 12
14. Descriptive writing
• Descriptive writing is one of the simplest and most used
academic writing types.
• The main purpose of descriptive writing is to state facts and
inform the audience.
• Therefore, when you hear these terms in any academic piece
— report, summarize, identify, record, define — know that it
is descriptive academic writing, which is mostly used for
school-level writing and completely theory-based projects.
14
15. • A lab report that informs the reader about the results of
an experiment is an example of descriptive writing.
• Descriptive writing is also used for describing people,
places, situations, events, etc.
20XX presentation title 15
16. Analytical writing
20XX presentation title 16
• When you are working on an academic study, you usually do not
only use descriptive writing.
• You must mix and match different types of writing to convey your
message to your target group.
• Therefore, aside from simply informing, you need to also organize
your information in a way that allows your readers to understand
content better.
• Analytical writing includes descriptive writing, but also requires you
to re-organize the facts and information you describe into
categories, groups, parts, types or relationships.
17. 20XX presentation title 17
• If you’re comparing two theories, you might break your comparison into
several parts.
e.g. how each theory deals with social context, how each theory deals
with language learning, and how each theory can be used in practice.
• Phrases such as ‘’examine,’’ ‘’compare,’’ ‘’relate,’’ ‘’contrast,’’ and ‘’analyze’’ are
the most common words used in analytical writing.
How to get better at analytical writing:
• Spend plenty of time planning. Brainstorm the facts and ideas, and try
different ways of grouping them, according to patterns, parts, similarities
and differences.
• Create a name for the relationships and categories you find. For example,
advantages and disadvantages.
• Build each section and paragraph around one of the analytical categories.
• Make the structure of your paper clear to your reader, by using topic
sentences and a clear introduction.
18. Persuasive
o Persuasive writing has all the features of analytical writing (that is, information
plus re-organising the information), with the addition of your own point of view.
o Most essays are persuasive, and there is a persuasive element in at least the
discussion and conclusion of a research article.
o Points of view in academic writing can include an argument, a recommendation,
interpretation of findings or evaluation of the work of others. In persuasive
writing, each claim you make needs to be supported by some evidence, for
example a reference to research findings or published sources.
o The kinds of instructions for a persuasive assignment include: argue, evaluate,
discuss, take a position.
20XX presentation title 18
19. To help reach your own point of view on the facts or ideas:
• Read some other researchers' points of view on the topic. Who do you feel is the most
convincing?
• Look for patterns in the data or references. Where is the evidence strongest?
• List several different interpretations. What are the real-life implications of each one? Which ones
are likely to be most useful or beneficial? Which ones have some problems?
• Discuss the facts and ideas with someone else. Do you agree with their point of view?
20XX presentation title 19
20. Critical Writing
• Critical writing is common for research, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate writing.
• It has all the features of persuasive writing, with the added feature of at least one other
point of view. While persuasive writing requires you to have your own point of view on an
issue or topic, critical writing requires you to consider at least two points of view,
including your own.
• For example, you may explain a researcher's interpretation or argument and then evaluate
the merits of the argument, or give your own alternative interpretation.
• Examples of critical writing assignments include a critique of a journal article, or a literature
review that identifies the strengths and weaknesses of existing research. The kinds of
instructions for critical writing include: 'critique', 'debate', 'disagree' and 'evaluate'.
21. You need to:
• Accurately summarise all or part of the work. This could include identifying the main
interpretations, assumptions or methodology.
• Have an opinion about the work. Appropriate types of opinion could include pointing out
some problems with it, proposing an alternative approach that would be better, and/or
defending the work against the critiques of others.
• Provide evidence for your point of view. Depending on the specific assignment and the
discipline, different types of evidence may be appropriate, such as logical reasoning,
reference to authoritative sources and/or research data.
23. In many academic texts you will need to use more than one type. For example, in a thesis:
• You will use critical writing in the literature review to show where there is a gap or
opportunity in the existing research
• The methods section will be mostly descriptive to summarise the methods used to
collect and analyse information
• The results section will be mostly descriptive and analytical as you report on the data
you collected
• The discussion section is more analytical, as you relate your findings back to your
research questions, and also persuasive, as you propose your interpretations of the
findings.
