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

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.

Basic Accounting
DATE : GRADE : IX
What is accounting?
“Accounting is the process of recording, reporting and interpreting financial information
pertaining to an organization.”
American Accounting Association defines accounting as “The process of identifying, measuring
and communicating economic information to permit informed judgments and decision by users
of the information”.
According to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants:
“Accounting is the art of recording, classifying and summarising in a significant manner and in
terms of money, transactions and events, which are, in part atleast of a financial character, and
interpreting the results thereof.”
If we analyse this definition, we get the following components:
It is about recording transactions
Transactions should be only of financial nature
The recorded transactions are then classified according to set rules
Results are then interpreted for people who are interested in this information
Definition of Book-keeping:
The part of accounting that is concerned with recording data is known as book-keeping.
Difference between Book-keeping and Accounting
Book keeping is mainly concerned with record keeping or maintenance of books of
account. It includes identifying the financial transactions, measuring them in terms of money,
recording them in the books of original entry and then classifying them into ledger.
Accounting is more than Book-keeping. Apart from the standard practices of Book-
keeping it involves summarizing the classified information in the form of Profit and Loss
Account and Balance Sheet, drawing meaningful information from them and communicating this
information with the interested parties i.e. shareholders.
‘Booking keeping’ is a part of accounting as it only involves recording of economic events.

Purpose of Accounting [Objectives]
The main purpose of accounting is
To keep a systematic record of business transactions
To calculate Profit and Loss
To ascertain the financial position of the business
To provide financial information to different users of this information.
Who are users of accounting information?
Owner/Shareholders: How much profit?
Managers: How business performed and how they can improve the performance in future
Employees: To know the profits so that they could demand better wages?
Investors: Is it safe and profitable to invest in the business?
Suppliers: Will the business be able to pay for their supplies?
Government: How much tax should be collected?
Lenders: It is safe to lend money to the business?

Types of Accounting
Financial Accounting: It is about recording business transactions in a systematic manner, to
ascertain the profits or losses of the business by preparing Profit and Loss Account and Balance
Sheet.
Cost Accounting: It involves finding out the total cost and unit cost of goods and services
produced by the business.
Management accounting: Accounting table and formats may not make sense to a person other
than an accounting. This is where Management accounting comes in. It is presenting the
accounting information in a manner which a layman manager could understand. It involves ratio
analysis, budgets, cash flows etc.
Basic Accounting Terms
The understanding of the subject becomes easy when one has the knowledge of a few
important terms of accounting. Some of them are explained below.
1. Transactions
Transactions are those activities of a business, which involve transfer of money or goods or
services between two persons or two accounts. For example, purchase of goods, sale of
goods, borrowing from bank, lending of money, salaries paid, rent paid, commission
received and dividend received. Transactions are of two types, namely, cash and credit
transactions.
Cash Transaction is one where cash receipt or payment is involved in the transaction.
For example, When Ram buys goods from Ajay paying the price of goods by cash
immediately, it is a cash transaction.
Credit Transaction is one where cash is not involved immediately but will be paid or
received later. In the above example, if Ram, does not pay cash immediately but promises
to pay later, it is credit transaction.
2. Proprietor: [Owner]
A person who owns a business is called its proprietor. He contributes capital to the business
with the intention of earning profit.
3. Capital
It is the amount invested by the proprietor/s in the business. This amount is increased by
the amount of profits earned and the amount of additional capital introduced. It is decreased
by the amount of losses incurred and the amounts withdrawn. For example, if Mr.Anand
starts business with $5,00,000, his capital would be $5,00,000.
4. Assets
Assets are the properties of every description belonging to the business. Cash in hand, plant
and machinery, furniture and fittings, bank balance, debtors, bills receivable, stock of

for his personal use. It is deducted from the capital.
7. Debtors
A person (individual or firm) who receives a benefit without giving money or money’s
worth immediately, but liable to pay in future or in due course of time is a debtor. The
debtors are shown as an asset in the balance sheet. For example, Mr.Arun bought goods on
credit from Mr.Babu for $10,000. Mr.Arun is a debtor to Mr.Babu till he pays the value of
the goods.
8. Creditors
A person who gives a benefit without receiving money or money’s worth immediately but
to claim in future, is a creditor. The creditors are shown as a liability in the balance sheet.
In the above example Mr.Babu is a creditor to Mr.Arun till he receive the value of the
goods.
9. Purchases

production. Goods purchased for cash are called cash purchases. If it is purchased on
credit, it is called as credit purchases. Total purchases include both cash and credit
purchases.
10. Purchases Return or Returns Outward
When goods are returned to the suppliers due to defective quality or not as per the terms of
purchase, it is called as purchases return. To find net purchases, purchases return is
deducted from the total purchases.
11. Sales
Sales refers to the amount of goods sold that are already bought or manufactured by the
business. When goods are sold for cash, they are cash sales but if goods are sold and
payment is not received at the time of sale, it is credit sales. Total sales includes both cash
and credit sales.
12. Sales Return or Returns Inward
When goods are returned from the customers due to defective quality or not as per the
terms of sale, it is called sales return or returns inward. To find out net sales, sales return is
deducted from total sales.
13. Stock

The term opening stock means goods unsold in the beginning of the accounting period.
5. Theory Notes

Whereas the term closing stock includes goods unsold at the end of the accounting perid.
For example, if 4,000 units purchased @ $ 20 per unit remain unsold, the closing stock is
$80,000. This will be opening stock of the subsequent year.
14. Revenue
Revenue means the amount receivable or realised from sale of goods and earnings from
interest, dividend, commission, etc.
15. Expense
It is the amount spent in order to produce and sell the goods and services. For example,
purchase of raw materials, payment of salaries, wages, etc.
16. Income

The above accounting equation expresses the fact that everything the business owns has been
supplied by the owner (owner’s equity) and by external source (liabilities).
Assets = Capital + Liabilities (or)
Capital = Assets – Liabilities (or)
Liabilities = Assets – Capital

Double entry System
Look at an example:
You own a business, for example, selling shoes.
When you buy shoes from manufacturer: Transaction is your stock increase because new stock
comes in. You pay for that stock and thus your cash reduces.
What does it mean? Two entries
Stock increases
Cash decreases
This system is known as Double entry system of book-keeping because for every
transaction there are two entries.
In this system all transactions are entered in a set of accounts.
7. Theory Notes

An account is a place where all the information referring to a particular asset or liability or
to capital is entered.
Thus there is an account for everything in the business e.g. machinery, furniture, creditors,
debtors and even capital.
What is an Account
Each account is shown on a different page.
Page is divided vertically into two halves.
Left side is Debit side; right side is Credit side
Rules of Debit and Credit
There are two systems or practices of putting the accounts.
American System
Assets account
Debit the increase in assets; Credit the decrease in assets
Liabilities account
Debit the decrease in liabilities; Credit the increase in liabilities
Capital account
Debit the decrease in Capital; Credit the increase in Capital
Revenue account
Debit the decrease in income; Credit the increase in income
Expense account
Debit the increase in expense ; Credit the decrease in expense
In Short,
Increases in assets Debit
Decreases in assets Credit
Increases in liabilities & Capital Credit
Decreases in liabilities & Capital Debit
All Expenses Debit
