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.

1. Sacramento/Central Valley Network Inaugural Regional Meeting
May 18, 2009
What Would You Like to See in the Network?
Answers from Participants of SCVN Inaugural Regional Meeting
• Podcasting
• Show everyone on campus how everyone benefits from getting involved with BSI/helping students
succeed
• Campus-based workshops
• Mutually developed SLO’s by counselors and instructors
• Workshops at a variety of times (e.g., evenings and weekends)
• Invite students and tutors to participate in workshops
• How can what we do in the classroom change?
• Faculty retreat (pay adjuncts to attend)

• Way to facilitate communication between faculty, staff, and administrators campus-wide, include
student services and beyond
• Ways to encourage use among everyone; for digital immigrants, provide practical applications; how
to train digital natives on how to use resources effectively
• Create cohorts within broader Network (e.g., TRIO, Puente, learning communities, etc.)
• Support/assistance for our own campus workshops/trainings
• Follow-up regional meeting to get down to nuts and bolts; move beyond theory to specifics
• Training on learning how to ask the right questions—get to the heart of the issue
Answers from Pilot Colleges on First Site Visit
• Alignment with K-12
• Use Facebook for a blog instead of Edulounge—many are already on Facebook
1
2. • Taps into other issues related to basic skills, such as the learning communities consortium
• Clearinghouse for best practices and experiments
• How to educate the campus—ways to encourage buy-in
• What different schools are doing coordinating across the disciplines—basic skills students taking
history and other courses; make connections with all other networks—be a team and not work
against one another
• All join CalPass—all colleges in the Network
• Identify programs that have been able to use technology to scale up in basic skills; all the good
software and lab design that is out there; also more online components
• Student Services—professional development—examples of how they are involved in student
success; what other colleges are doing with student services—special orientations for diversity
students
• Professional development for associate faculty
• Make sure the Network puts students at the center; need for “student stories” in all we do
• Integrate life-management class across the curriculum—modules and issues that hit all students
• More connection to community resources/libraries and others
• Fold service learning into basic skills
• Ideas for multiple ways of delivering assessment and orientation; bilingual publications for
orientations; help with counseling and orientation about not discouraging them with long lists of
math classes they have to take when in basic skills
• Creating a cohort through EOPS
• More about jobs and careers and helping basic skills students; helping students have direction
• Not funneling every student into transfer or the same things
• Collectively define what we mean by “student success”; change the measurements and the
definitions of success in the state. We’ve allowed the state to define what student success is—let’s
look at it ourselves and redefine it.
• Helping us to be scholars in particular areas, such as writing, reading, math, etc.
2
3. • What is data—what are the parameters—what are the categories—how we can apply it and how
we shouldn’t apply it—examples from other campuses—have an inquiry role rather than an
adversarial role; have data coaches help us with this; clear definitions of what is one level below
transfer, two levels below transfer, etc.; maybe put major research projects on web; reporting data
out—quarterly updates
• Help from the network for “thorny” questions
• Major talks should appear on the website and be shared through the Network—streamed on the
network; names of people and contact numbers so that we can get hold of people easily
• Colleges that have Trio grants that are focusing on basic skills but aren’t using BSI money—Schools
that have both Trio and basic skills—how are they interfacing?
• What have other colleges done in terms of reporting—what have they done for their presidents or
VPI’s—how to do assessment and evaluation; what have others done with getting report backs from
those in charge of various projects
• How transparent are others with their funds; how conscientious are they—how they are setting up
their funds
• How to integrate more reading, writing, math into CTE programs—do it as an inquiry group—
• What other colleges have done with BSI funds that contextualize English and math
• Have a series of roundtable discussions with leaders from each table—leaders by discipline or basic
skills coordinators, etc.
• Best practices in practice—actual examples of them and how they are working at other schools
• People showing their “warts”—tell us the problems you are having—having clear processes and the
problems they had along the way
• What people’s thoughts are for sustaining BSI—how do you try to live in an unpredictable world;
how do we keep people excited and interested in what we’re doing with BSI; if we have limited
resources, how do we bring in new ideas
• Linking resources—examples such as healthcare, rent, etc.; linking resources to non-credit programs
and adult schools
