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.

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.

2. Days of Celebration
• Chinese New Year starts on the first day of the lunar
calendar on the new moon.
• Chinese New Year falls on different dates each year, on
a date between January 22 and February 20. This
means that the holiday usually falls on the second, and
occasionally on the third new moon after the winter
solstice.
• Families meet starting on New Year’s eve. They gather
together for a large meal and for prayer.
• The period around Chinese New Year is the time when
the largest number of Chinese migrate in order to reunite
with their families for the holidays
• Chinese New Year ends on the 15th: this day is called
Lantern Festival (yuánxiāojié, 元宵节 ). This takes place
around the time of the full moon.
3. The Chinese Calendar
The Chinese year can be named three ways:
1. By its number: the current year is 4705 by the
Chinese calendar
2. By its animal name: there are 12 animal names, and
they are recycled every 12 years. 2008 is the Year of
the Rat.
3. By its stem-branch notation, where years are named
based on 60-year cycles, and are combinations of the
five “heavenly” stems (elements) and the twelve
“earthly” branches (animals).
• This is what the Chinese horoscope is based upon.
This is the year of the Fire Pig, and I was born in
the year of the Metal Rooster.
• What to notice is that the combination names are
different from the separate names, for example,
Fire Pig is dīnghài ( 丁亥 ) instead of huǒzhū
4. Chinese Calendar Symbols
• The five elements are: wood ( 木 , mù), fire ( 火 ,
huǒ), earth ( 土 , tǔ), metal ( 金 , jīn), and water
( 水 , shǔi)
• The twelve animals are:
1 2 4
3
5 6 7 8
9 10 11
12
5. Early Celebration Events
• Before the New Year, everyone sweeps their
homes to get rid of bad luck from the old year
and prepare their homes for good luck
• On New Year’s Eve, families get together and
share a large meal, usually at the home of the
eldest member of the family
• Red packets of money, or hóng bāo, are often
distributed from elders to younger members of
the family during or after the dinner. Never put
$4 in red envelopes because it is the number for
death. 8, on the other hand, is a lucky number.
7. Prayer
• Many Chinese are Buddhist
or Taoist, so prayer is a big
component of celebrations
• Incense is lit, prayers are
sent to the gods (Buddha,
Lady Buddha, Gods of
Health, Happiness,
Longevity….)
9. Superstitions
• Only wear good luck colors, which is primarily
red, but secondaries are gold and pink
• You cannot sweep on the first day, or you will be
removing the good luck from your home
• You’re not supposed to wash your hair the first
day or you wash away your good luck, but
people usually do anyways because, well, it’s
kinda gross
• For those who believe in horoscopes, you must
travel in the good luck direction on the first day:
east was happiness and west was prosperity this
year
10. Foods
• Snacks are eaten throughout the holidays such as
red melon seeds, sugared fruits, and sesame and
peanut candies. Since you are not allowed to sweep
on New Years, red seeds are often strewn all over
the floors!
• Many people are vegetarian for one or more days
during the New Year period because it signifies
longevity, so they eat dishes like Buddha’s delight,
which is usually made up of 18 ingredients like
veggies, black mushrooms, bean thread noodles,
and dates
• Fish is almost always served on New Year’s eve
because yú ( 魚 ) sounds like “surplus,” so we can
say “nián nián yǒu yú,” or “may there be surplus
every year”
12. The End of Festivities
The Lantern Festival signifies the last day of
celebrations. Traditionally, it was a good day for
finding love and for matchmaking.
