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.

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. What Do You Think of First?
• Water conservation – green roofs, bioswales, water
recycling, xeriscaping/waterwise gardening
• Wildlife enhancement – habitat, water, food, shelter
• Soil improvement – mulching, compost,
• Lower energy – remove lawns, solar power, human
powered equipment or tasks, sustainable lighting
• Grow your own vegetables
3. Learn to Love Cardboard
• If you want to limit chemicals
and have some time,
cardboard is your friend
• Place on ground to kill grass
and control weeds
• Cover with mulch for future
gardens, mulch or conifer
needles for paths, or straw
for weed control
• Cardboard decomposes and
becomes part of the soil
•
4. Cardboard, continued
• Cardboard is usually
available from friends
and relatives or from
your work
• It takes 6 months to a
year for cardboard to
break down to become
garden beds
• For weed control,
replace as needed
5. Water Conservation
• It matters because an
estimated 50% of
water use in cities is
for landscape
purposes
• Work with native
climate, in Oregon we
are Mediterranean or
semi-Mediterranean
with little summer
water
Drought tolerant garden near
Sheridan Oregon
6. Techniques that Reduce Water Use
• Choose drought tolerant
plants and group them
together
• Hand water or use drip
• Avoid automatic
watering unless tuned to
the weather
• Replace lawns with
garden beds
• Consider native drought
tolerant species
Ginkgo, California fuchsia, and
sedums
7. Conserving Water
• A drought tolerant
landscape need not be
dull or barren
• Grow water loving
annuals in pots!
Blueblossom, bright sunflowers,
native mock orange
8. Plan your Garden in Advance
• Know the plants your
choose—Search for
information in books or
on the web
• Avoid buying only what
is in bloom at plant sales
• Avoid impulse buying to
limit inappropriate
choices
• Avoid species that tend
to be invasive
9. Many Herbs are Waterwise
• Growing herbs as
ornamentals creates
attractive as well as
practical landscapes
• Sage, tarragon, thyme,
rosemary, lavenders,
marjoram, and oregano
all work well
• Tip: Water loving herbs
such as basil or parsley
should be grown with
vegetables or in pots
Lavender, rosemary, sage, thyme
10. Avoid or Remove Invasive Plants
• Know before you buy-
check out GardenSmart
Oregon information online
• Be ready to refuse free
plants from friends
• Remove or control
reproduction of plants you
already have
• If you feel comfortable,
gently remind friends and
neighbors about invasive
plants
• Remember that “sterile”
plants rare are that truly
English holly, Daphne laureola, English
ivy, Iris pseudacorus, English laurel
11. Gardening for Wildlife
• Use locally native plants
(best for birds, insects,
and butterflies)
• Avoid cultivars which
have little is any
biological diversity,
bloom altogether rather
than staggered
• Provide sources of water
and appropriate plant
foods , preferably
avoiding bird feeding
stations or hummingbird
feeders Example: Serviceberry, Amelanchier alnifolia, is
a large native shrub/tree that has nectar, berries,
and is a butterfly host plant
12. Gardening for Wildlife
Include:
• Trees for shade and nesting
sites
• Shrubs for shelter and berries
• Groundcovers for secure soil-
level habitats
• Bright flowers for bees and
other insects
• Tubular yellow and red
flowers for hummingbirds
• Night blooming flowers for
moths
• Host plants for native
butterflies
Big-leaf maple, red osier dogwood,
beach strawberry, twinberry, native
bleeding heart
14. Include Native Berry Plants for the Birds
• Many are available
commercially
• Ones with blue berries
are usually edible by
people too!
• Pictured here are blue
and red elderberries,
Oregon grape,
evergreen huckleberry,
salal
15. Use Chemicals Sparingly
• Pull weeds by hand or
careful tiling, preferably
before they set seed
• Choose organic based
fertilizers if you can
• Fertilize minimally
(except perhaps
veggies) to avoid run-off
and over stimulated
plants that require yet
more water
16. Take Care of the Soil
• Mulch or bark, 2-3
inches—add more
often
• Use non-nutrient
mulches in landscapes
• Avoid hardscape if
possible
• Use groundcovers to
conservemoisture and
create habitat- no ivy
please
17. • Scientific and fancy if you
wish, but simple works too
• Many methods work so
there is no excuse—find
one that works for you
• Simplest may be “cold
compost” in an outdoor
container where you add
occasional water any
brown matter such as
leaves or shredded paper
Make Your Own Compost
18. Techniques for Vegetables
• Don’t scrimp on nutrients,
but choose organic or
natural if you can
• Soil, sun, water are all key
• Growing your own takes
less energy than
purchasing, generally
• If you can’t grow your
own, support Farmer’s
Markets
19. Minimize use of Electrical/Petroleum-
Based Gardening Techniques
• Many chemical
application use
petroleum based
ingredients and use
energy to produce
• Generally, try to use
human power first,
then electrical, and
reserve chemical
choices as your last
choice
20. Instead Look for Natural Products and
Methods to Use Less “Equipment”
• Hand mow if you have
small areas
• Hand pull or use hoes
for weeding
• Hand water some
plants to “get in touch”
with your garden
• Make your own mulch
or use natural products
such as composted
bark
21. Choose Plants Carefully and With
Purpose
• Avoid invasive plants
• Consider natives
• Consider drought
tolerant
• Consider an edible
landscape
• Be the one for your
neighbors to copy
22. Practical Tips for Environmental Gardeners
• Cardboard – learn to love it. Place it over grass or
weeds to kill or control them. Cover with bark, mulch,
pine/fir needles, or straw depending on the desired future
use.
• Use less water. Choose herbs and other waterwise
plants, “zone” garden areas for different water uses, hand
water or use timers to gauge correct amounts. Water only
as needed. Replace lawn with garden beds.
• Plan your garden in advance for year-round interest,
exposure, and water use. Avoid impulsive purchases,
which are often water loving or tender plants. Research
plant choices for appropriate use.
23. More Practical Tips
• Avoid or remove invasive species which can harm wild
areas. Check GardenSmart Oregon
http://www.nature.org/media/oregon/gardensmart-rev-
2010.pdf For ivy removal, see
http://www.slideshare.net/lindamcmahan/ivy-removal-
factsheet
• Share your garden with wild creatures. Provide water,
shade, shelter, natural pollen and nectar sources. No
artificial feeding required. Avoid pesticides if possible.
• Use fertilizers and rich amendments sparingly to avoid
overgrowth which increases requirements for more water.
24. Still More Practical Tips
• Take care of the soil. Use low-nutrient mulches, limit
tilling, grow groundcovers.
• Make your own compost from non-weedy garden waste,
kitchen scraps, coffee grounds, etc. Add paper egg
cartons, autumn leaves, and other carbon-based
materials to round it out.
• For vegetables, provide appropriate nutrients and
water, natural amendments preferred. Hand weed, grow
companion plants to attract pollinators.
25. Still More Yet Practical Tips
• Use less electrical or petroleum-based energy. Do
tasks by hand if possible, choose hand mowing or
electrical power for mowing. Use plant-based
amendments.
• Choose plants carefully to reduce water and nutrient
use and lower the probability of inducing invasive plants.
Include native plants, North American plants, species
plants if possible. Grow those luscious and colorful
hybrids in pots on your patio.
• Prefer species instead of cultivars to increase diversity
for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
26. And . . .
• Be the one in your neighborhood that other people copy!
Have fun, ignore some garden dogma, and help others
learn.
