Affirmative action policies aim to promote equal opportunity and representation in education and employment by giving preferential treatment to minority groups that face discrimination. The document discusses the origins and arguments for and against affirmative action. Proponents argue it has increased opportunities and representation, while critics argue it leads to reverse discrimination and hiring based on attributes other than merit. A Supreme Court case found affirmative action programs at UC Davis Medical School violated anti-discrimination laws.

C6 Prevention of sexual exploitation of children starts with knowledge on vul...VSE 2016
(Sjoerd van Bemmel, Bureau of the Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children)
In a recent report, The Dutch Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children examined seven groups of children to see how vulnerable they may be to sexual exploitation. In this workship, three groups, namely children from the Roma community, Syrian childbrides and children from the LGBT community will be discussed. Children who are not normally associated with sexual exploitation, but who have an increased risk of becoming victim. Frank Noteboom, researcher from the Dutch National Rapporteur, will approach these groups from a human trafficking perspective. From this angle, new insights appear in how to protect these groups from possible sexual exploitation. To conclude with words of Wayne Dyer: 'If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change'.
Child Sexual Exploitation of Children, CSEC Advocacy ProjectAlexandra Rupp
We define sexual exploitation as rape, abuse, and violence against children, in which 1.6 million youth did NOT “choose “ to be a victim. Alameda County has the 2nd largest population of Commercially Sexually Exploited Children and youth where every two minutes a child is being groomed for sexual exploitation (PCWTA). These numbers represent the amount of CSEC victims we serve, typically without knowing. The traumatic and adverse experiences commonly occurring in our communities, put our children at higher risk for being coerced, manipulated, and forced into sexual exploitation and human trafficking. A trafficker knows what to look for—and so should we. To protect our children, we must increase our awareness and understanding of CSEC in order to effectively prevent, respond, and restore. CSEC is on the rise and while it’s happening all around us, most of us don’t see it. Help us make child sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation visible, so we can end it. Because every child is too valuable to be bought and sold!

Affirmative Action must be taken by covered employers to recruit and advance qualified minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and covered veterans. Affirmative Actions include training programs, outreach efforts, and other positive steps. These procedures should be incorporated into the company’s written personnel policies. Employers with written Affirmative Action programs must implement them, keep them on file and update them annually.

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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

affirmative action #2
1. Affirmative Action Aiding the underprivileged? Or reverse discrimination?
2. Background A policy or program providing advantages for people of a minority group who are seen to have traditionally been discriminated against, with the aim of creating a more egalitarian society through preferential access to education, employment, health care, social welfare, etc.
3. Background cont. The actual phrase "affirmative action" was first used in President John F. Kennedy's 1961 Executive Order 10925 which requires federal contractors to "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin." The same language was later used in Lyndon Johnson's 1965 Executive Order 112466.
4. Background cont. It was developed and enforced for the first time by President Johnson, who said, “This is the next and more profound stage of the battle for civil rights. We seek… not just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and as a result."
5. What is all the hype about? Doesn’t and shouldn’t everyone be able to receive the same opportunities regardless of race, sex, ethnicity, etc?
6. Proponents argue: Affirmative Action has been a success story Millions of men and women have been given the equal opportunity in education, workforce, housing, and voting.
7. Proponents argue: Serious discrimination still exists in our society, affirmative action is needed as long as discrimination based on race, and gender exists in our society.
8. Proponents argue: Few realize, however, that white males are also beneficiaries Because of affirmative action fairness is now the rule, guarantee more opportunity for white males as well as minorities and women to compete for jobs.
9. A study was done my Prof. Gurin former dean and Physiologist of University of Michigan. Analyzed data over 200 college and universities across the nation. Based her research on the academic and social impacts a diverse ethnic population has on majority white students Results: Students who interacted with these ethnic groups did better academically and were more open to different point of views. And students were more open to helping racial boundaries being described and more willing to help out in community services activities.
10. Critics argue: Opponents to Affirmative Action believe that the process leads to reverse discrimination, and that it leads to hiring people based on race, gender, etc., rather than merit. They argue that Affirmative Action actually makes people more biased against each other, as it increases the sense of "us versus them."
11. Critics argue: It has also been argued that since growing numbers of minorities are entering upper-management ranks, Affirmative Action has worked, and discrimination is decreasing
12. Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, The Medical School of the University of California at Davis had two admissions programs for the entering class of 100 students - the regular admissions program and the special admissions program. Allan Bakke, a white male, applied to Davis in 1973 and 1974, in both years being considered only under the general admissions program
13. After his second rejection, Bakke filed an action in state court for mandatory, injunctive, and declaratory relief. Bakee said that it was in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights act of 1964. The trial court found that the special program operated as a racial quota, because minority applicants in that program were rated only against one another, and 16 places in the class of 100 were reserved for them. Declaring that UC Davis Medical School could not take race into account in making admissions decisions, the court declared the program violated the Federal and State Constitutions and Title VI
16. What did the class think about affirmative action?
17. 50% of females were in favor of affirmative action and do not consider affirmative action to be reverse discrimination, while the other 50% of femalesdo not support affirmative action and consider it reverse discrimination. 72.72 % of males were in favor of affirmative action and do not consider affirmative action to be reverse discrimination, while 36.36% percent of males do not support affirmative action and consider it reverse discrimination. Overall: 63.15% of the class supports affirmative action and do not consider it to be reverse discrimination, while 36.84 % of the class do not supportaffirmative action and consider it reverse discrimination.
