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.

1. Unit 9- evaluation
How did you decided what area to do your exhibition on? (Think
about your research and practice photos)
I decided by looking at different aspects of photography and I saw landscape
images and I thoughtthey looked easy to take and they are easy to take also I
took somepractice images and found out that they came out well. I have taken
lots of contrastof pictures to see which ones
Where did you get inspiration from? (Websites, photographers?)
I got my inspiration froma famous photographer called Charlie Waite who
takes somereally cool pictures as well as going on the internet and searching
up different types of landscapeimages.an example of where I got my
inspiration is this is the
website I got mostof the
type of image I would
take from
http://www.charliewaite.com/gallery
2. What equipment did you use to create your project?
The equipment to use to take my pictures were Veblen tripod witch is a really
sturdy tripod so therefore I got some great pictures. I used a cannon 600d
camera causeyou can take somebeautiful pictures in great quality the good
things about this camera is the way you can focused on the background or
close up I could of used the cannon 1100 butthat might of messed my pictures
up. I used a big storage ds card so I could take loads of pictures and see which
ones were good enough quality and delete the others so I can havea variety of
shots. The setting I used was when the sun was going down in the forestso
most of them have the sun in the background also I thoughtthat it would be a
good idea to go high up and take pictures from above.
Did you edit any of your photos? If so how?
I did not have any need to edit my photos because they were good
quality already and they did not need to be cropped or enlarged
because they were a good size anyway. They were great snaps that
did not to be Photoshop
Have you learnt any new skills or used any tools you haven’t
before?
I have learnt a new place where I can take some high quality pictures
an advantage of thins is cause I can take some good, I used practice
images to make my top 6 images the best they can be in the frame.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of your photographs?
The strengths of me photography are that I got some really good
pictures with the scenery in the background like the sun shining
3. throw the trees also they are taken at good angles and have a god
contrast a weakness to my photography is that I only got 1 picture
that show a big landscape whereas the other are much closer also it
could b. This is 1 picture where I got a low angle picture and I like the
way that it shows the horse to not look like it’s not that big and the
background to be nearly as large as the horse. The picture 2 show a
vast area in a single
picture witch is more
like a typical
landscape image and
you get a great visible
and the good contrast
in colour of the land
and the trees a
weakness is the is a
lot of sky just wasted
in the images.
4. Are you pleased with them?
I am very pleased with the images I took because they are high
quality images that work together well and I get a good contrast
images with lots of colour contain in there. I am happy because they
were taken well the first time so they therefore did not need to be
edited.
Has it turned out the way you planned?
It has turned out then how I expected them to turn out some are
really good and some could be improved by having a different type
of scenery and I used the camera and location I was planning to use.
The once that are good are great because they have great contrast in
background a scenery and the once that are not as good are because
they are too close or not close enough.
How you improved as a photographer?
I improved as a photographer because I now look to get the scenery
and the background in most of my pictures so the background shines
throw the stuff in front to get a good contrast of both.
5. What would you change or do differently if you did this project
again?
Spend longer taking images and do more analyzing other peoples
photography.
