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.
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

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.

It was a cold but crisp and sunny afternoon of mid November ,
when X received the telegram redirected from Kolkata by his
son-in-law Nagendranath. At that time X was discussing with
one of the teachers of the institution named, Nepal Chandra
Roy, in the matter of funding and budget of constructing the
drainage system of some portion of the area. X glanced idly at
the address; tearing it open he ran his eyes over the contents. He
blinked, read the lines thrice, wondering if the language was
incorrect or if he was, perhaps, misinterpreting the meaning.
After a little pause, he handed over it to Nepalbabu, and said,
‘Now Nepalbabu, your problem on funding of Drainage system
has been solved.’
Now what was the subject of the telegram?

In 1957, the then CM of West Bengal, Bidhan Chandra Roy
suggested a controversial and historic suggestion that certain name
or title, which encouraged “localism, provincialism and
communalism” should be disallowed but no avail. This concept
came to Dr. Roy’s mind after several unfortunate and unwanted
incidents were happening at the heart of Kolkata starting from
1949, which usually never happened before 1947. Such incidents
happened so often that from 1951, the CM was forced to call
several meetings and came up with several plans to increase the
police force to stop such unsporting violence. But Dr. Roy’s
concept never materialized, though in quite a similar line of
thinking in a broader aspect was suggested by Mahatma Gandhi in
1945 in Bombay and was duly accepted. So, what was Dr. Roy’s
proposal in 1957 which never materialized ?

Sharadindu in his historical novel - “Tumi Sandhyar Megh”
described that Atish Dipankar went to Tibet, to learn the
knowhow of a military weapon for the interest of the safety
of Bharatbarsha from the attack of Turks and Afghans, after
witnessing how the Tibetan monks used that weapon to
disperse the soldiers of Chedi king of Kalchuri, Laskhmikarna
Dev who made a violent attack to a Buddhist Bihara. Now this
weapon, which was obviously invented by the Chinese or
Tibetans, was termed as AGNIKANDUK by those monks.
Now, my question - what is the modern day version of this
weapon, which is an integral part of military warfare of 20th
century and its current name derived from the French word for
Pomegrenate.
