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.

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.

3. 18-1 Finding Order in Diversity
Natural selection and other processes have
led to a staggering diversity of organisms.
Biologists have identified and named about
1.5 million species so far.
They estimate that 2–100 million additional
species have yet to be discovered.
4. To study the diversity of life, biologists
use a classification system to name
organisms and group them in a logical
manner.
5. In the discipline of taxonomy, scientists
classify organisms and assign each
organism a universally accepted name.
When taxonomists classify organisms,
they organize them into groups that have
biological significance.
6. Assigning Scientific Names
Common names of organisms vary, so
scientists assign one name for each
species.
Because 18th century scientists
understood Latin and Greek, they used
those languages for scientific names.
This practice is still followed in naming
new species.
7. Early Efforts at Naming Organisms
The first attempts at standard scientific
names described the physical
characteristics of a species in great detail.
These names were not standardized
because different scientists described
different characteristics.
8. Carolus Linneaus developed a naming
system called binomial nomenclature.
In binomial nomenclature, each
species is assigned a two-part
scientific name.
The scientific name is italicized.
9. The first part of the name is the genus
name (Capitalized).
A genus is a group of closely related species.
The second part of the name is the
species name (lowercase).
The species name often describes an important
trait or where the organism lives.
10. Linnaeus's System of Classification
Linnaeus not only named species, he also
grouped them into categories.
11. Linnaeus’s seven levels of
classification are—from smallest to
largest—
• species
• genus
• family
• order
• class
• phylum
• kingdom
12. Each level is called a taxon, or
taxonomic category.
Species and genus are the two
smallest categories.
Grizzly
bear
Black
bear
22. Biologists currently group organisms into
categories that represent lines of
evolutionary descent, or phylogeny, not
just physical similarities.
Grouping organisms based on
evolutionary history is called
evolutionary classification.
23. The higher the level of the taxon, the further
back in time is the common ancestor of all
the organisms in the taxon.
Organisms that appear very similar may not
share a recent common ancestor.

25. Superficial similarities once led barnacles
and limpets to be grouped together.
Appendages Conical Shells
Crab Barnacle Limpet
26. However, barnacles and crabs share an
evolutionary ancestor that is more recent
than the ancestor that barnacles and
limpets share.
Barnacles and crabs are classified as
crustaceans, and limpets are mollusks.
27. Many biologists now use a method called
cladistic analysis.
•Cladistic analysis considers only
new characteristics that arise as
lineages evolve ( called derived
characters).
•Characteristics that appear in recent parts of a
lineage but not in its older members are called
derived characters.
28. Derived characters can be used to
construct a cladogram, a diagram
that shows the evolutionary
relationships among a group of
organisms.
Cladograms help scientists understand how
one lineage branched from another in the
course of evolution.
29. A cladogram shows the evolutionary
relationships between crabs, barnacles, and
limpets.

30. The genes of many organisms show
important similarities at the molecular level.
Similarities in DNA can be used to help
determine classification and evolutionary
relationships.
31. DNA Evidence
•DNA evidence shows evolutionary relationships of
species.
•The more similar the DNA of two
species, the more recently they shared a
common ancestor, and the more closely
they are related in evolutionary terms.
•The more two species have diverged from each
other, the less similar their DNA is.
32. Molecular Clocks
•Comparisons of DNA are used to mark
the passage of evolutionary time.
•A molecular clock uses DNA
comparisons to estimate the length of
time that two species have been evolving
independently.
34. A molecular clock relies on mutations to mark
time.
Simple mutations in DNA structure occur
often.
Neutral mutations accumulate in different
species at about the same rate.
Comparing sequences in two species shows
how dissimilar the genes are, and shows
when they shared a common ancestor.
36. The Tree of Life Evolves
•Systems of classification adapt to new
discoveries.
•Linnaeus classified organisms into two
kingdoms—animals and plants.
•The only known differences among living
things were the fundamental traits that
separated animals from plants.
37. There are enough differences among
organisms to make 5 kingdoms:
•Monera
•Protista
•Fungi
•Plantae
•Animalia
39. The six-kingdom system of
classification includes:
•Eubacteria
•Archaebacteria
•Protista
•Fungi
•Plantae
•Animalia

41. The Three-Domain System
•Molecular analyses have given
rise to the three-domain system
of taxonomy that is now recognized
by many scientists.
•The domain is a more inclusive category
than any other—larger than a kingdom.
42. The three domains are:
•Eukarya, which is composed of
protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
•Bacteria, which corresponds to
the kingdom Eubacteria (true
bacteria).
•Archaea, which corresponds to
the kingdom Archaebacteria.
43. Modern classification is a rapidly changing
science.
As new information is gained about
organisms in the domains Bacteria and
Archaea, they may be subdivided into
additional kingdoms.
44. Domain Bacteria
•Members of the domain Bacteria are
unicellular prokaryotes.
•Their cells have thick, rigid cell walls that
surround a cell membrane.
•Their cell walls contain peptidoglycan.
46. Domain Archaea
Domain Archaea
•Members of the domain Archaea are
unicellular prokaryotes.
•Archaea live in extreme
environments.
•Their cell walls lack peptidoglycan, and
their cell membranes contain unusual
lipids not found in any other organism.
50. Domain Eukarya
Protista
•The kingdom Protista is composed of
eukaryotic organisms that cannot be
classified as animals, plants, or fungi.
•Its members display the greatest variety.
•They can be unicellular or multicellular;
photosynthetic or heterotrophic; and can
share characteristics with plants, fungi,
or animals.
51. Fungi
•Members of the kingdom Fungi are
heterotrophs with cell walls that
contain chitin.
•Most fungi feed on dead or decaying organic
matter by secreting digestive enzymes into it
and absorbing small food molecules into their
bodies.
•They can be either multicellular (mushrooms) or
unicellular (yeasts).
52. Domain Eukarya
Plantae
•Members of the kingdom Plantae are
multicellular, photosynthetic autotrophs.
•Plants are nonmotile—they cannot move
from place to place.
•Plants have cell walls that contain cellulose.
•The plant kingdom includes cone-bearing
and flowering plants as well as mosses and
ferns.
53. Domain Eukarya
Animalia
•Members of the kingdom Animalia are
multicellular and heterotrophic.
•The cells of animals do not have cell walls.
•Most animals can move about.
•There is great diversity within the animal
kingdom, and many species exist in nearly
every part of the planet.
