The document discusses key aspects of federal bureaucracy in the United States. It defines bureaucracy as a complex administrative structure intended to create an effective workforce. The three key features of bureaucracy are hierarchical authority, job specialization, and formalized rules. While not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, the Founding Fathers recognized the need for an administrative structure to support the President. Bureaucrats are not directly elected but rather lead various federal agencies, commissions, and authorities established to regulate industries and conduct governmental business. The document also distinguishes between staff agencies that provide support and line agencies that perform direct tasks and meet goals.

A brief but concise presentation on development management and bureaucracy's restraining and constraining factors.
Impressionism & Post Impressionism
The document presents information on Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. It discusses how Impressionism developed in France in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and features works by Degas, Monet, and Renoir. It then explains that Post-Impressionism reacted against Impressionism by advancing styles and techniques in a more romantic, emotional, and avant-garde style, as seen in works by Cézanne, Seurat, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.
Impressionism and Post-impressionism
Impressionism began in 19th century Paris and takes its name from Claude Monet's painting "Impression, Sunrise." Impressionist paintings used small, thin brush strokes to capture light and accuracy over precision. Techniques included short, thick strokes of paint applied side-by-side with little mixing to emphasize the play of natural light. Claude Monet is seen as the father of Impressionism for his plein-air landscape paintings. Post-Impressionism emerged later and focused on conveying personal responses through strong colors and slight distortions, as seen in the works of Seurat, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gauguin.

Administrative AuthorityThe Constitution defines the powers of the.docx
Administrative Authority
The Constitution defines the powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. In Article I of the Constitution, the Delegation Doctrine states that the three branches cannot delegate these powers. For instance, according to the Delegation Doctrine, the legislation cannot delegate law-making functions to non-legislative bodies, such as administrative agencies. But what are law-making functions? How does the court interpret these functions? In the readings this week, you take a closer look at the Delegation Doctrine and how the courts have interpreted it. Then you consider the impact of the Delegation Doctrine and the court's interpretation of it on the authority of agencies to execute statutes or legislation passed by Congress. Understanding what the legislative branch (i.e. – Congress), can delegate to administrative agencies is particularly important because some statutes passed down by Congress are vague and ambiguous. In these instances, administrative agencies must interpret or determine what Congress meant, and based on this, prescribe rules to carry out the statutes.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the assigned pages of Chapter 3 of the course text,
Administrative Law and Politics: Cases and Comments.
Think about how the Delegation Doctrine impacts the authority of administrative agencies to execute statutes.
Review Chapter 4 of the course text,
Administrative Law and Politics: Cases and Comments.
Focus on the issues that sometimes occur when vague statutes are given to administrative agencies to execute. Pay particular attention to cases and outcomes regarding vague statues.
Review the course media, “ Administrative Agencies
–
Authority and Enforcement,” thinking about the implications that result when administrative agencies do not receive the proper resources from Congress to execute statutes (eg. flexibility, financially, staffing, direction, etc…)
Reflect on the impact of the Delegation Doctrine on the authority of administrative agencies to execute statutes.

Chapter Eighteen The Law of Administrative AgenciesIntroduction to Administrative Law and Administrative AgenciesAdministrative Law
For the purposes of this text, administrative law is defined broadly as any rule (statute or regulation) that affects, directly or indirectly, an administrative agency. These rules may be procedural or substantive, and they may come from the legislative, executive, or judicial branch of government or from the agencies themselves. Such rules may be promulgated at the federal, state, or local levels. A procedural rule generally has an impact on the internal processes by which the agencies function or prescribes methods of enforcing rights. For example, under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), a federal administrative agency must give adequate notice to all parties involved in an agency hearing. A substantive rule defines the rights of parties. An example is an act of Congress that forbids the FTC from applying the antitrust laws to all the Coca-Cola bottlers in the United States. In this instance, the rights and regulations of both the FTC and the Coca-Cola bottlers were defined by Congress.

substantive rule
A rule that creates, defines, or regulates the legal rights of administrative agencies and the parties they regulate.Critical Thinking About The Law
As a future business leader, you will certainly encounter many governmental regulations. Congress created administrative agencies, in part, because it could not hope to address the enormous variety and number of concerns that are now covered by administrative agencies. Although you will not learn about every administrative agency in this chapter, you can jump-start your thinking about administrative agencies by answering these critical thinking questions.
1. Your roommate states that people do not have to follow the regulations passed by administrative agencies because these regulations are not laws. She argues that only Congress can make laws. Which critical thinking question could be applied to settle this disagreement?
Clue: Do you and your roommate agree on the meaning of the words she is using?
2. Some individuals may argue that the creation of regulations by administrative agencies promotes unfair restrictions on business. What ethical norm seems to be behind this thought?
Clue: If you want fewer restrictions from the government, what ethical norm is influencing your thought? What ethical norm seems to conflict with the wish for fewer governmental regulations?
3. Congress assumes that the administrative agencies will address problems effectively in their respective areas. For example, the EPA ensures compliance with environmental laws. If Matt makes the assumption that environmental problems are so complex and widespread that the EPA could not hope to ma.

Bureaucracy
A bureaucracy is a large, complex organization composed of appointed officials that handle the everyday business of an organization based on hierarchical authority, job specialization, and formalized rules. The American bureaucracy is distinctive because political authority is shared, most agencies share functions with state/local counterparts, and there has been growth in defining and defending personal rights. Bureaucracies are subject to oversight from Congress and the public and face issues like red tape, conflicts between agencies, and a tendency to grow without considering costs or benefits. Reforms aim to make bureaucracies more efficient and customer-focused.

Learning Objectives
1. Describe the formal organization of the federal bureaucracy.
2. Classify the vital functions performed by the bureaucracy.
3. Explain the present Civil Service system and contrast it with the 19th century spoils system.
4. Identify the various factors contributing to bureaucracy's growth over time.
5. Compare the means by which Congress and the president attempt to maintain control over the bureaucracy.
6. Analyze and evaluate the problems that bureaucratic organization poses for American democracy.
Introduction
The very word "bureaucracy" often carries negative connotations. To refer to an institution as a "bureaucracy" or characterize it as "bureaucratic" is usually intended as an insult. But the national bureaucracy, sometimes called the "fourth branch of government", is responsible for practically all of the day-to-day work of governing the country. While bureaucracy in the United States, consistent with our tradition of more limited government, is smaller than its counterparts in other longstanding democracies, its influence extends to almost every corner of American society. From delivery of the mail to regulation of the stock market to national defense, federal employees plan, regulate, adjudicate, enforce, and implement federal law. Despite recurrent calls to "shrink" the size of government, the federal bureaucracy remains the largest single employer in the United States. This lesson examines the bureaucracy's formal organization, its critical role in the American economy and society, and its perceived weaknesses.
Study Questions
1. How did sociologist Max Weber define bureaucracy?
2. Identify the various functions federal bureaucracies perform giving at least one example each:
a. Implementation
b. Regulation
c. Adjudication
d. Enforcement
e. Policy-making
3. How many people does the federal government employ? For what percentage of GDP does federal spending account? How does this compare to other economically advanced democracies?
4. Classify and distinguish the major types of bureaucracy in the federal government:
a. Cabinet Departments
b. Independent Agencies
c. Independent Regulatory Commissions
d. Government Corporations
5. How does the federal bureaucracy select and recruit personnel? Contrast the present civil service system with the spoils system. What advantages does the present system provide?
6. What factors explain the growth of bureaucracy over time despite recurrent calls for limiting the size of government?
7. Identify those factors in the budget process making it difficult to cut bureaucratic funding.
8. Describe the way Congress authorizes funding for the federal bureaucracy.

Theories on bureaucratic agencies are presented regarding their role in regulation and policymaking from public interest, public choice, and reputation perspectives.
AP Bureaucracy
The federal bureaucracy implements and regulates policies through various departments and agencies. It is organized into executive departments, independent commissions, government corporations, and independent agencies. The bureaucracy works to carry out laws and policies but can face obstacles like conflicting priorities, vague instructions, and lack of resources. Both the President and Congress seek to influence the bureaucracy through actions like appointments, budgets, and oversight.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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...
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
