The Making of an Engaged Electorate? (view full screen)Rhesa Jenkins
Second in continuing data driven analysis of the nature of change evident in 2008 voting patterns
The first presentation focused on analysis of the demographic shifts behind the Obama victory. This presentation analyzes exit polls to discover the issues that motivated this voting block to go to the polls.
The premise of the analysis: Comparing exit polling, to likely voter polling, increases accuracy in forecast of turnout and forecast of demographic shifts in the electorate.
The presentation suggests adoption of this method of analysis as a means of providing better measures of voter sentiment. These measures are useful in both enforcing accountability and encouraging participation.
Here is a look at the issues facing Ontario including duplication of programs. The Liberals threw money at the symptoms which never fixes the root causes to issues facing the delivery of efficient and effective government.

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.
36. Bureau of Economic Analysis
http://www.bea.gov/
Subagency of the U.S. Commerce Department’s Economics and Statistics
Administration
Provides in-depth analysis of key economic metrics
Slices data by industry and different geographies (national, state, metro area, local
area)
37. Bureau of Economic Analysis
Can answer questions like:
What industry has grown/contracted the most in my metro area/state?
38. Bureau of Economic Analysis
Can answer questions like:
What kind of change has there been in personal income or personal expenditures
in my metro area/state?
39. Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics
Part of the Center for Economic Surveys at the U.S. Census Bureau
Combines federal, state and Census Bureau data on employers and employees,
under the Local Employment Dynamics Partnership, producing more granular and
employment data than what’s collected by any of those agencies alone.
42. Every state does it differently.
In Arizona, the Arizona Corporation Commission keeps the records, and has a
decent online lookup.
But the larger database is available. It includes things like dates, addresses, names
of principals, etc.
Corporate Filings
44. Registration & Licencing
Often untapped resources.
Remember, if there’s any kind of licensing or registration required for an industry,
there’s a database of information where those are maintained.
47. Political Influence
Most states provide some kind of public lobbying disclosure, but… they’re all
different, so digging into these requires some legwork.
Arizona provides a lobbyist registration lookup online, but not the actual lobbying
disclosures. Requires a request to the Secretary of State’s office.
48. Learn how to get it, though, and you
should find some interesting stories.
Political Influence
49. Most states provide some kind of campaign finance data, but… again each state is
unique in how it handles the data, so it requires effort to figure out how it’s
maintained and structured.
Arizona’s Secretary of State provides some summary data and PDF reports, but the
good stuff has to be requested.
