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

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.

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.

2. Building a professional digital profile
• how we can proactively manage our digital
experiences for:
– effective learning in a world where we are increasingly
swamped with data.
– showcasing our knowledge and building our networks
to “stand out from the crowd” – enhancing
employment prospects or a setting up a new business
– promoting “digital citizenship” – for example by
behaving responsibly online or raising awareness of
and supporting good causes.
6. Digital Literacy
• “Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organise, understand,
evaluate, and analyse information using digital technology. It
involves a working knowledge of current tools and an
understanding of how they can be used”
• “The active management of online activities such as
collaboration, networking , content creation and curation in
order to “stand out from the crowd” in today’s job market”
• “an ability to respond positively to change”
• “How we can best live, learn and work in an increasingly
digital society”
9. Scope of digital literacy: information
management
• Finding, managing, evaluating and curating
information
– how do we manage the sheer volume of search
results we might get?
– How do we recognise a trusted source?
– How do we curate relevant materials from
different sources and formats to meet a specific
need, for example in addressing an assignment
question.
10. Scope of digital literacy: creating
materials
• How do we create new materials in written,
visual and audio formats?
• What role can a reflective blog play in our
learning journeys?
• How can its impact be enhanced with images
or video?
11. Scope of digital literacy: effective
communication
• How can we use tools such as twitter to
communicate, collaborate and participate in
online communities – building our own
networks and contributing to the work of
others, potentially on a global basis?
12. Scope of Digital Literacy: identity and
behaviour
• Safety and security – managing passwords,
privacy, access and tagging
• Managing the boundaries between the
personal and the professional
• Digital citizenship – charitable fundraising,
paying it forward, activism
13. According to the British Computer
Society…
Employers increasingly require validation of digital literacy skills
and employability can depend on it.
Why is Digital Literacy important to employers and employees?
• Digital literacy is required in 77% of all employment
• Digital literacy is expected to be required in 90% of all
employment by 2015
• Employability for graduates increasingly requires a broad
range of digital literacy skills
• Employers expect graduates to be able to communicate using
digital media”
(http://www.bcs.org/category/17854)
14.
15. So what are employers doing?
• According to a recent study by Jobvite
– 92% of recruiters use social media in the hiring process
– 80% had been positively influenced by a candidate’s
professional social network profile
– 78% had been negatively influenced towards a candidate’s
inappropriate use of social media
• The best candidates might not be actively looking for
a new job (up to 90% of the workforce)
• Social media can identify the best talent , encourage
conversation and build relationships with them
• Enables recruiters to promote their company as “a
great place to work”
16. Why should you care?
A standard CV is no longer sufficient to stand out from the crowd in a
global and rapidly evolving job market.
“We are currently preparing students for
jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies
that haven’t been invented, in order to
solve problems we don’t even know are
problems yet.”
- Karl Fisch, “Did You Know”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmwwrGV_aiE
17. So what should job seekers do?
• Recognise that building an online personal brand is
now a critical aspect of career development
• It boosts our reputation and gives us new skills in
communication, creativity and reflective thinking.
• The information we display on social networks
should actively encourage rather than discourage
potential employers
• Don’t “opt out” - finding NOTHING about a person
on a Google search creates a negative impression too
21. Setting up your blog
• You may have your own already that you wish to
use
• You can use a major free platform like
wordpress.com
• You can use the University’s blog.soton service
(University branded Wordpress blogs available
through iSolutions)
• Some good examples:
– Chris Phethean’s PhD progress blog
– Andy Sugden’s and Catherine Hunt’s curriculum
innovation module blogs
22. Blogs: pulling it all together
• Use the blog framework as a central point pulling in your
other social media content:
– Tweets – Flickr – LinkedIn – Vimeo - Slideshare – Pinterest -
Soundcloud - YouTube
• You can also embed other social media within individual
blog posts
• Video is increasingly important, especially authentic user
generated content
• Provide sharing buttons
• These activities provide a regular supply of “googlejuice” to
the blog
23. Google likes blogging
• Social media interaction with digital content is
the *biggest influence* on its search visibility:
1. Facebook shares
2. Facebook comments
3. Facebook likes
4. Tweets
• Hootsuite blogpost
• Advice from Social Media Strategist
