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

1. On the night of December 2, 1984, chemical, methyl isocyanate (MIC) spilt out from Union Carbide India
Ltd’s (UCIL’s) pesticide factory turned the city of Bhopal into a colossal gas chamber. It was India's first
major industrial disaster. At least 30 tonnes of methyl isocyanate gas killed more than 15,000 people and
affected over 600,000 workers. Bhopal gas tragedy is known as world's worst industrial disaster.
What is Methyl Isocyanate (MIC)?
Methyl Isocyanate is a colourless liquid used for making pesticides. MIC is safe
The chemical is highly reactive to heat. When exposed to water, the compounds
other causing a heat reaction.
Methyl Isocyanate is no longer in production, although it is still used in
plant in Institute, West Virgina is currently the only storage location of MIC left
2. How methyl isocyanate leaked happened
Union Carbide India's Bhopal facility housed three 68,000-litre liquid MIC storage tanks: E610,
E611, and E619. Months before the tragedy, MIC production was in progress and was being filled
in the tanks. No tank was allowed to be filled more than 50% of its capacity and the tank was
pressurized with inert nitrogen gas. The pressurization allowed liquid MIC to be pumped out of
each tank. However, one of the tanks (E610) lost the ability to contain nitrogen gas pressure,
hence liquid MIC could not be pumped out of it. As per the rules, each of the tanks could not be
filled with more than 30 tonnes of liquid MIC. But this tank had 42 tonnes. This failure forced
UCIL to halt methyl isocyanate production in Bhopal and the plant was partly shut for
maintenance. An attempt was made to make the defective tank functional again on December 1,
however the attempt failed. By then, most of the plant's methyl isocyanate related safety systems
were malfunctioning. According to reports, by December 2 eve, water had entered the
malfunctioning tank, which resulted in runaway chemical reaction. The pressure in the tank
increased five times by night. By midnight, the workers in the MIC area started feeling the effects
of MIC gas. The decision to address the leak was to be made a couple of minutes later. However,
by then the chemical reaction in the tank had reached a critical state. About 30 tonnes of MIC
escaped from the tank into the atmosphere within an hour. Most Bhopal residents were made
aware of the gas leak by exposure to the gas itself.
3. • Impact of methyl isocyanate leak
Doctors were not aware of proper treatment methods the incident. Methyl isocyanate gas leak killed more
than 15,000 people and affected over 600,000 workers. The stillbirth rate and the neonatal mortality rate
increased by up to 300% and 200% respectively. The gas leak impact trees and animals too. Within a
couple of days, trees in the nearby area became barren. Bloated animal carcasses had to be disposed of.
People ran on the streets, vomiting and dying. The city ran out of cremation grounds.
4. • Govt's response to Bhopal tragedy
Until then, the Indian government had never dealt with a disaster like this. Legal proceedings between
India, UCC and the US began right after the catastrophe. The government passed the Bhopal Gas Leak Act
in March 1985, which allowed it to act as the legal representative for victims. While the UCC initially offered
a $5 million relief fund to India, the government turned down the offer and demanded $3.3 billion.
Eventually, an out-of-court settlement was reached in February 1989, Union Carbide agreed to pay $470
million for damages caused. The Supreme Court of India also laid down guidelines for the money—the
family of the dead were to be given Rs 100,000-300,000. In addition, fully or partially disabled were to get
Rs 50,000-500,000 and those with a temporary injury, Rs 25,000-100,000. The apex court asked UCIL to
"voluntarily" fund a hospital in Bhopal to treat victims of the tragedy. In June 2010, seven former
employees of UCIL, who were all Indian nationals, were convicted of causing death by negligence and
sentenced to two years of imprisonment. However, they were later released on bail.
5. • Bhopal after over three decades of the tragedy
As the legal battles were on in India and the US, Dow Chemical Company successfully took over UCC in
2001, after which it became a wholly-owned subsidiary. Thereafter, Dow claimed that UCC did not have any
responsibility towards the tragedy, as it was legally a new company with new ownership.
Ingrid Eckerman in his book – The Bhopal Saga recalls what a victim told him, “Death would have been a
great relief. It’s worse to be a survivor”. Thirty years later, there is no closure in the case. Thousands of
survivors of the Bhopal gas tragedy continue to face a lack of healthcare facilities. After the factory was
closed, whatever remained inside was sealed and kept there. Gas victims’ welfare organisations have been
demanding its removal for years. Many petitions have been lying in the high court and the SC for removal
of the plant’s poisonous remains.
