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

Commissaries highlight Month of Military Child with savings
By Sallie Cauthers,
DeCA marketing and mass media specialist
FORT LEE, Va. – April is the Month of the Military Child, and commissaries are
celebrating with giveaways and savings for the entire family.
“Children in military households face unique challenges because of the demands of
military life,” said Randy Chandler, DeCA’s sales director. “So, at the Defense Commissary
Agency, we want to acknowledge them and do all we can to provide their families with great
values on quality products they can depend on.”
DeCA’s industry partners – vendors, suppliers and brokers – are collaborating with
commissaries in April to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores may have
substitute events for certain promotional programs. Customers are asked to check their local
commissary for details on dates and times for the following promotions:
Proctor & Gamble is giving stateside commissary patrons a chance to have a Pro Camp
Football event at their military installation. Nine camps will be hosted by an NFL athlete
– Andre Roberts, Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith or Arian Foster – as part of P&G’s
“Family Unit”/USO cause program that reflects the spirit of the Defense Department’s
Healthy Base Initiative. To help determine winning locations, Proctor & Gamble is
hosting an in-store sales contest from April 3 to May 7. Shoppers will also have the
opportunity to vote for their military installation to win a football camp. Store displays
will offer more than $99 in BrandSaver coupons and $64 in E-saver coupons. For more
contest information, visit P&G’s Family Unit at www.familyunitpg.com.
2. Overseas Service Corporation is sponsoring the “Snowball Express” event stateside

money for the children of fallen military heroes who have died on active duty since Sept.
11, 2001. Store displays will feature special discounted products and coupons.
S & K Sales Company is sponsoring the “Salute to Military Families” promotion April
3 to May 7. More than 650,000 promotional flyers will be distributed in stores
worldwide. A portion of each name brand’s sales will be donated to the National Military
Family Association. Last year the promotion resulted in a $220,000 donation to the
NMFA.
“Child Hunger Ends Here” is ConAgra Food’s initiative supporting “Feeding
America.” The “Feeding America” network features more than 200 food banks across the
country and supplies food to more than 37 million Americans each year — some 14
million children and 3 million seniors, including military families. Here’s how it works:
Shoppers who buy specially marked ConAgra Food products can enter their product
codes at www.ChildHungerEndsHere.com to activate meal donations. Shoppers can also
donate meals by redeeming ConAgra Foods commissary coupons available in stores.
Keebler’s 15th Annual Hollow Tree promotion features savings on discounted Keebler
products April 3 - May 7 at all stateside stores. Look for Ernie and the Keebler Elves on
Keebler snacks displays.

April 24 to May 7. Patrons will receive a free gallon of milk with the purchase of any
four Kellogg’s cereals or any four Keebler packages of cookies. Look for “Free Milk”
coupons, in-store displays and discounted products.
Throughout April worldwide, Eggo waffles and Breyers ice cream brands are teaming up
to create a recipe event. The multi-faceted recipe partnership and program features the
following: “The Great Eggo Waffle Off Contest” featured on packages of 6-, 8- and
10-count waffles; a recipe contest that is Facebook-driven and featured on both Eggo and
Breyers Facebook sites; product demonstrations showing shoppers how to make fun
recipe creations; and in-store coupons for Eggo and Breyers items.
Unilever hosts the “Vitality” sales promotion from April 3 to 23 in stateside stores.
Commissary shoppers may enter to win a free eco-friendly family vacation to Discovery
Cove in Orlando. Discovery Cove combines education and entertainment, bringing its
guests into the world of exotic animals and their habitats. Participants enter by posting
their best environmental tip on the Operation In Touch Facebook page. The best tip wins

flyers featuring additional savings on the top Unilever vitality brands. Shoppers can also

and recipes.
“As we honor our military children, don’t miss out on these opportunities to save even
more,” Chandler said. “For everyone in the family, the commissary is always worth the trip.”
