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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Gasper Alice Gasper and I arrived at Daktari to the warm arms of the volunteers early August. They settled us right into our new home, and the boys did their utmost to make it comfortable. Although scared and vicious to start, we gave into the volunteers pampering, and now run around the farm during the day, and eat mice and pronutro with gusto! Our previous mother, who owned us previously came to see how we were and was happy with the result. I’m getting fitter with all the running around, but my favourite activity is sleeping around people’s necks! Our new home Drama struck in the second week of Gasper’s stay when he mysteriously got ill and fell into a coma. It was touch and go for a few days, with not much hope of recovery; but thanks to our volunteer Victor’s relentless love and determination and the competences of Provet Wildlife Services, Gasper woke up and regained use of his arms and legs within the week! He is now back to his mischievous little self, and likes to run around digging up bugs with his black tipped tail in the air. NEWBIES OF AUGUST
3. News on Bambino Our baby nyala is growing up fast, and going from strength to strength. He is drinking less milk but making up for it by eating everything he can find! Bambino has taken his courage in hand and started playing with the dogs at Daktari, zipping through the camp at top speed, kicking up the dust. His presence lights up Daktari, but unfortunately we will have to let him go back to the wild soon…. So I have great news- I secretly had a baby at the end of last month! It is healthy; and although I don’t bring it into Daktari, Ian has seen us together on the outskirts of the farm. I come in to eat the food Daktari makes for me on a daily basis, as I need to keep up my strength for the time being. Maxi the bushbuck ANIMAL UPDATES
4. Adios amigos! On a calm Sunday evening this August, the genet Chouchou made his great escape. We smelt a rat from the start, as the mongooses were making an absolute racket, warning us of an unknown animal roaming the farm. Little did we know that merely ten feet away honey badgers were rummaging through the camp in hope for food. They had made two large dents in the genet cage and Chouchou, either courageous or stupid decided to make a break for freedom. The volunteers were lucky enough to notice his escape during the evening feed, and alerted Ian and Michele, who promptly found him. The problem remained on how to get him down the tree and back into the cage… The situation was urgent, as Chico was out and about, and bush baby is a genet delicacy! We wracked our brains as to how we might catch him- Ian made traps with rats (which volunteers swiftly set free), then with meat, string and a swing door; and finally after 3 days of anticipation and patience, we heard a yelp of pleasure as Ian trapped the genet as quickly as he escaped! We know Chouchou is biding his time, waiting for another excuse to escape – and in fact, he might be in for a pleasant surprise, as we are currently deliberating whether to let him go! Keep an eye on this space and we will let you know CHOUCHOU’S GREAT ESCAPE
5. THIS MONTH’S VOLUNTEERS Our volunteers from France – (l. to r.) Claire, Thomas, Zina, Isabelle and Amelie Katie and the Piggot Family from the UK The Schultz Family from Luxembourg Kirsten from South Africa Eli our Norwegian volunteer
6. During out stay at Daktari, Michele was nice enough to organise a trip to Tshukudu where the volunteers took four cheetah for an early morning walk. Despite the 4.30am start, we all arrived bright eyed, bushy tailed and on time thanks to Michele’s fearless rough road rallying! The experience of that morning was unimaginable – only Africa offers the delight of early morning bush walks through an untamed reserve with four playful cheetah. The game rangers did everything in their power to give us the best experience they could offer – topped off by a fantastic breakfast on the lodge terrace. It was a great way to start a day! Tshukudu comes highly recommended by Daktari! CHEETAH WALK
9. We realize that there were many more people who wanted to contribute. Don’t worry we’ll start working on the next book soon. Any one who would like to add a short story or some photos please e-mail them to Nicola at [email_address] . We are also hoping that people may have suggestions for a title for the next Daktari book. “ When I was at Daktari…” This book is comprised of short stories and photo essays all about Daktari. Do you think you were the only one who found teaching students about sex awkward? Read Pat Beckham’s short story “The Sex Lesson”. Rebecca Polinelli’s photo essay “Confidence” brought tears to my eyes and James Carne’s story “Bush Walk” made me laugh out loud. Daktari makes a small amount from the sale of each book and Blurb also makes a $1 USD donation to Daktari for every book we sell. Books can be purchased online through Blurb. http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/1054089/73d03a9e7f8850d22add56f5b2c236cf ANNONCING THE SOON TO BE BEST SELLER…
10. In this month’s Newsletter we would like to shout out a huge thank you to WAIT A LITTLE for their constant support over the years… Gertie and Phillip were the first to believe in the project, and offered Ian and Michele the 700 hectares of land on which Daktari has come to flourish. They have supported Daktari ever since, helping, with their guests, to over come difficult financial situations and come by to lend a hand on a regular basis. They even donate fresh game to me, Shiloweni, as I must admit, have rather expensive taste !!! Wait A Little Horse Safaris was formed in 1999 by Philip and Gerti Kusseler and is operating since as the successful Big Five Horse Safari in South Africa. The area close to the Kruger National Park with its background of the Drakensberg Mountains is one of the most beautiful wilderness regions in the world. The variety of land mammals, birds and plants is both unique and breathtaking. The safaris take place in two private reserves, the Karongwe and the Greater Makalali Game Reserve. Read more about this exclusive opportunity on their website. THANK YOU
11. Caline and Freddy – R300 a month Alice and Gasper would also love to be adopted by some kind people. They are not fussy animals and would only need R300 between them to live happily here at Daktari. Shiloweni is still looking for a few more god-parents to help keep up his feisty appetite at R200 a month, Thanks to Debbie and Richard who were the first to adopt me… still need 14 more… ADOPT ME
