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.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. This is a digipak for Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” album which is clearly in the pop genre due to the pink colour
scheme representing it as girly and the candy as fun and fantasy-like.
The target audience for this album would obviously be females because of the colour scheme and the
presentation of Katy Perry, her beauty being something that young girls aspire to or idolise her for. On this note,
Katy Perry’s beauty and naked body could also draw in the male audience due to the attraction, linking in with
Laura Mulvey’s ‘Male Gaze’ theory.
The images of Katy Perry posing naked surrounded by candyfloss embodies a sexual image alongside depicting
her as childlike and feminine, appealing to her target demographic. Katy’s hair and makeup is stereotypically
styled similar to a burlesque dancer’s which portrays her as a sex symbol whilst being surrounded by sweets and
cakes, demonstrating her personality as flirtatious and sweet.
The typography layout on the front cover is very central and simple, creating a relaxed feel however the font of
the text ensures that it is not too simple and boring as they have used bright pink and white colours with very
curly and candy-like font, linking in well with the theme of the album.
The title of the album ‘Teenage Dream’ gives the impression that she is reliving her teenage years and showing
her experiences through her album and songs whilst incorporating her newly found sexual side to show how
much she has developed and grown over the years.
3. This is a digipak for David Guetta’s album “One Love” which belongs to the electro house genre of music which
could be connotated through the simplicity of the front cover with the one random splash of colour alongside the
image of him with sunglasses on.
The layout of this digipak is kept very simple which leaves the audience wondering what the contents could be
like as not much has been given away from the front cover itself, allowing the music to speak for itself.
The pink font ‘One Love’ contrasts against the black and white background, drawing the audiences attention to
that first and then onto the image of David himself. The font is also messy and looks as though it has been hand-
drawn, representing Guetta’s upbeat and perhaps ‘messy’ music.
The back page of the digipak is also kept very simple with the black, white and pink colour scheme, allowing you
to focus purely on the track names whilst slightly maintaining the messy theme throughout.
4. This is a digipak for Arctic Monkeys album “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not” which belongs to the
indie rock genre, shown through the black and white colour scheme and the images used.
The main image on the digipak is of a male smoking a cigarette, wearing a white top with his eyes half closed. The
dark lighting creates a grungy and dirty atmosphere, linking in with the musical genre and also represents the
band as typical everyday people.
The ‘Arctic Monkeys’ logo on the top left of the album cover stands out from the black background because of it
being surrounded by a white box. This makes it the first feature that the audience would notice, creating
themselves a strong brand identity.
They have chosen not to include the band name on the front cover which suggests that they want the image and
band logo to be the main focus, intriguing the audience to want to find out more about the album and what is
included.
On the back page of the digipak, the track list is positioned on the top left hand side with the white text standing
out against the black background. They kept the text small and basic to maintain the minimalistic theme
throughout the album, also emphasising the image on the back. It is similar to the image on the front cover
however his body language has been altered into a more intriguing and perhaps emotional posture, linking in
with the album name and lyrics of the songs, connoting a deeper meaning in comparison to the standard front
cover.
5. This is a digipak for Beyonce’s “Dangerously in Love” album which is in the pop genre, portrayed through the use of
bright lighting, colours and sexualised images used.
The image on the front cover is a mid-shot of Beyonce herself, wearing a very revealing diamond crop top and standard
jeans. The diamond top connotes a very wealthy and glamorous personality along with her being sexualised to an
extreme due to the amount of flesh that she has on show and the confident stance that she is in. The low angle shot
used provides her with power as it makes the audience feel like they are looking up and admiring her.
The simple blue background makes Beyonce stand out and ensures that she is the main feature of the front cover.
Despite the fact that blue is stereotypically seen as a male colour, she manages to prevent this stereotype from being
seen due to her outfit, windswept hair and tilted posture, making it as feminine as possible. This also makes the white
text of ‘Beyonce’ and the album name stand out.
The image on the back page of the digipak is placed on the left hand side alongside the track list down the right hand
side. Beyonce is arching her back, pushing her bum out and looking directly at the camera which is typically seen as a
sexual pose, providing herself with a sex appeal.
The white font against the blue background has been maintained on the back cover, carrying on the theme throughout.
The target audience for this album would be for 16-25 year old females due to her being a well-known feminist and role
model for young girls. The glamorous images used will appeal to females due to them most likely aspiring to look like
her, however the male audience are not completely disregarded from being a target audience. The sexualised image
links in with Laura Mulvey’s ‘Male Gaze’ theory, using attractive and suggestive images to entice them in.
6. This is a digipak for Kings of Leon’s “Come Around Sundown” album which is in the alternative rock genre.
The main image on the front cover is of an exotic island which relates in with the theme of the album and the
album name. The paradise island links in with the idea of escapism within the album, losing themselves in the
music and it also portrays an image of perfection, representing a place that is picturesque and ideal for people to
visit.
The layout of the front cover is very simplistic, using the image to take over the whole of the front cover and only
two simple lines of text at the top and bottom stating the band name and the album name. This simplicity reflects
Kings of Leon and the laidback music that they produce.
The sepia colour effect used makes the album look more professional and creates a house style to be used
throughout the digipak, maintaining the theme.
The back page of the digipak shows the band within the unique setting, maintaining the house style and theme of
the sun setting and idea of escapism. The image is eye-catching due to the sunset shining through the middle of
the band, highlighting their figures and emphasises the importance of them, making it easier to identify the band
and creates a more personal feel to the album as they are involved.
The track list is positioned in the top right hand corner, keeping it separate from the image which then makes the
image more dominant and the main feature that the band want the audience to look at.
7. This is a digipak for Foo Fighters “Wasting Light” album which is in the alternative rock genre.
The colour scheme for this album consists of a black background with the album and band name in red text at the
top placed in the centre, along with the multi-coloured image beneath this. This black and red colour scheme
connotes a dark and fierce atmosphere which strongly links in with the alternative rock genre.
The multi-coloured image in the centre of the album cover is a combination of the band members faces together
in a collage, using a variety of pink, red, green and blue colours. This images immediately adds a personal touch to
the album, providing them with a strong brand identity and ensures that they are recognisable to the audience.
The variety of colours used makes them stand out against the black background and also makes it unbiased with
the target audience gender, appealing to both genders.
The text font on the back of the digipak remains the same as on the front, maintaining a house style throughout.
However the red text that appears on the front is in contrast to the white text that is on the back, with parts of
that white text having been faded which provides it with an industrial/rough appearance.
The image on the back of the digipak looks like someone playing the guitar, with the colours and focus being
distorted which links in with the rock genre being wild and heavy.
