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
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

2. LAB WORK STRUCTURE
• LAB TIME is built into the structure of the class in order to work on
projects. Even so, students work at different speeds so there are also
OPEN LAB hours you can use to work on your projects outside of
regular class meetings.
• LAB TIME = PRODUCTION EXERCISE; simply stay on track with
specific project steps to receive a 100; if you don’t, it’s a 0
• You can also download the software we use to work on your projects
outside of class.
• We have to stay together as a class so once the class lab time
allotted for a project is completed, we’re moving on. Remember -
NO CREDIT FOR LATE WORK! You will have plenty of time to
complete projects, but in order to do so you must attend class and
use the allotted time wisely
3. AUDACITY-GETTING STARTED
• ALWAYS PLUG YOUR HEADPHONES IN BEFORE STARTING AUDACITY!
• Start AUDACITY
• Open the “YOUR LAST NAME-AUDACITY EXERCISE #1” project file
from your USB by double clicking it – DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OTHER
FILE!
4. This is where we left off – you’ve recorded
your narration and your layout should look
something like this:
You are now going to add the music bed,
make final adjustments, and export and
submit the file
AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
5. • Go to WEEK #8/CLASS MATERIALS and save
the file “NEWSCAST MUSIC” to your USB drive
in a folder called “MMJ AUDIO”
• To do this right-click on the file and choose
“Save Link As” and navigate to your USB and
save it in the “MMJ AUDIO” folder – IT MUST
BE ON YOUR USB – NOT ON THE LAB
COMPUTER!
AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
6. • Within AUDACITY select FILE – IMPORT – AUDIO
and select the “NEWSCAST MUSIC” file which you
just saved to your USB drive
AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
7. After the import is complete, your layout should
look something like this with 3 active tracks and 1
muted track:
AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
8. AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
Use each track’s
VOLUME SLIDER to
make sure the levels of
each track are relative
and sound good; the
narration and the
sound bites should be
heard at basically the
same level with the
music underneath it all
– the music should
NOT be the focus – it’s
there to provide a
unifying quality and
mask the edits
9. AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
You also want to
make sure the
music matches
the rest of your
audio in length –
use the edit tools
we’ve already
covered to adjust
music length
10. AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
LISTEN CLOSELY TO YOUR FILE! IS IT…
Consistent in sound levels - does it
simply sound good?
Edited smoothly with no errors such as
clipping of words or unnecessary gaps?
Narrated in an engaged and well-
delivered manner as per the provided
script?
THE GRADE FOR THIS EXERCISE
DEPENDS ON THESE THREE FACTORS!
11. AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
Once you’re satisfied with how it sounds, close
the RAW AUDIO track so all that remains are the
3 active tracks (Sound Bites, Narration, and
Music):
13. AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
ONCE EXPORTING IS FINISHED – LOCATE THE
EXPORTED FILE ON YOUR USB AND PLAY IT
AGAIN! Never just trust that it exported correctly
– ALWAYS CHECK IT!
If you’re satisfied with it, go to WEEK #8/COURSE
ASSIGNMENTS/AUDACITY EXERCISE #1 and use
the ATTACH FILE option and submit your finished
exercise file
15. AUDACITY EXERCISE #1
NO LATE WORK ACCEPTED FOR CREDIT
USE CLASS LAB TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS
AND GET HELP!
I’VE GIVEN YOU THE TOOLS AND AM
HERE TO PROVIDE FULL SUPPORT BUT
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINAL
PRODUCT
I EVALUATE THESE AS IF I WERE A TYPICAL
LISTENER, NOT JUST YOUR TEACHER
16. LAB REMINDERS
• There’s only one of me so learn to help yourself
by using readily available resources about the
AUDACITY software USE THE SUPPLIED
RESOURCES AND THE INTERNET – there is no
shortage of Audacity Help out there
• SAVE YOUR PERSONAL WORK TO YOUR OWN
USB DRIVE! IF YOU LEAVE IT ON THE PC YOU’RE
WORKING ON, YOU COULD LOSE IT WHEN IT IS
REBOOTED! Lost work due to improper saving is
the same as not doing it in the first place
17. LAB TIME ATTENDANCE
•If you don’t come to class during LAB
TIME sessions you will most likely fall
behind – the PowerPoints are
designed to be as simple to follow as
possible but there is simply no
substitute for in-person instruction
