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.

8. 10 general groups
for sorting all of the
subjects
General means broad,
lots of subjects will fit
into each group.
9. Here are the 10 general
groups for sorting books in
the Dewey Decimal System:
General Works Philosophy
Religion Social Studies
Language Science
Technology Arts and Leisure
Literature History/Geography
10. This seems like a
lot to remember,
but don’t worry
you’ll learn it all
quickly.
So let’s get going !!!!
11. 000s-General Works
Books that fit in this group
have many different
subjects in them. Like:
Encyclopedias or The Guinness Book of
Records
This is also where books on
unexplained subjects would be
found-like The Loch Ness Monster.
20. 800s-Literature
Books in this group are
stories, plays, or poetry.
This is the group fiction
books were put in long ago
when The Dewey Decimal
System was first invented.
21. Today we have too many
fiction books in our
libraries to organize them
in this way, so fiction
books have their own way
of being organized.
You know, in ABC order, by
author !
24. Knowing these big
groups will help make
it easier to find the
books you want in the
nonfiction section.
25. Remember, nonfiction call
numbers are placed in
number order first, so
that means all of the
books about the same
subject end up near each
other on the shelf.
That’s Smart !!!!
26. Let’s See What You’ve
Learned
Call numbers
help us find
the books we
want to read !!!
27. 1. What is the recipe
for a nonfiction call
number?
Numbers (for the subject)
First three letters in
the author’s last name
28. 2. What system tells us
what numbers go with
each subject?
Dewey Decimal System
29. 3. Who is responsible
for inventing the Dewey
Decimal System?
Melvil Dewey
30. 4. Mr. Dewey matched
a number with each
_____________.
b) author
c) subject
d) title
31. 5. All school libraries
use the Dewey
Decimal System.
b) false
c) true
Editor's Notes
In Melvil’s day there was no set way for library books to be organized. This made it hard for people to find the books they wanted, so Melvil started thinking and came up with a brilliant idea!!
He decided it would make it easier to find books if they were grouped by subject, so first he came up with 10 general groups to use for sorting all subjects.
Today we have too many fiction books in our libraries to organize them in this way, so fiction books have their own way of being organized.
