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
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

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. MEMORANDUM
TO: Junior Associates A-M
FROM: Senior Partner Goering and Senior Associate Stromberg
RE: Potential representation of Jenny Fordham
DATE: September 7, 2006
Yesterday I met with Jenny Fordham, a potential client who suffered a back injury at
work. She has asked us to represent her in pressing a claim against her employer for workers'
compensation to cover the medical costs of treating her injury. Because she was able to return to
work, she does not seek ongoing workers' compensation benefits.
Jenny lives in Gladstone, Missouri and works as a payroll accountant at the Proctor &
Gamble (P & G) manufacturing facility in Kansas City, Kansas. On November 6, 2005, she
clocked into work at 8:21 a.m. and began waiting for a required morning meeting with other
accounting staff, scheduled for 8:30. As she was waiting for the meeting to begin, she sat in a
conference chair with rollers, her legs extended and her feet propped up on another conference
chair. She was engrossed in solving a sudoku puzzle while she waited for other employees to
arrive for the meeting.
Before the meeting started and while Ms. Fordham was thus engaged, a fellow employee,
Bill Gordon, came up behind her. Gordon was Ms. Fordham's friendly rival in P & G's voluntary
Sudoku Singles Club, whose members met at least twice weekly during coffee breaks and
occasionally socialized after hours. Gordon could see that Ms. Fordham was concentrating on the
Sudoku Singles Challenge Puzzle of the Month. Whoever completed the puzzle first would win a
$1,000 purse, contributed by members of the club. To distract her, he playfully took hold of the
chair's back and pushed it forward, dumping her off the chair and onto the terrazzo tile floor. Ms.
Fordham hit the floor and immediately suffered a low back injury.
Ms. Fordham insists she did nothing whatsoever to provoke Gordon to push the chair out
from under her and dump her on the floor. She did not argue with Gordon before the incident,
and she and Gordon had no feelings of ill will toward one another. In fact, they were good
friends. Before the incident that morning, Ms. Fordham did not email or converse with Mr.
Gordon or communicate with him in any other way. In fact, she did not even know he was
approaching until she found herself sitting on the floor of the conference room.
As a result of the incident, Ms. Fordham suffered a low back injury. After medical
treatment she was able to return to her accounting position, but her low back remains
symptomatic. To control continuing low back pain, she wears a TENS unit during waking hours,
and she continues to require physical therapy and medical treatment to monitor her condition.
Work disability is not an issue; Ms. Fordham just wants to know whether Proctor & Gamble
must pay her ongoing medical costs under its mandatory workers' compensation coverage.
The facts are not in dispute. After reviewing the attached legal authorities, please write a
short office memo addressing the issue of law using the appropriate legal terms. I have attached
the relevant statute and all the other materials you will need; please limit your research to these
2. materials and do not look up any other legal authority or background information. However, you
may consult a law dictionary to ensure you understand any unfamiliar terms.
Your memo should follow the standard format for office memoranda discussed in the
Edwards text, including the appropriate headings. Please use 12-point Times New Roman font
and 1.25-inch margins on all four sides, and please double-space your memo. Your completed
memo should be approximately 5-7 pages in length. I will not read past the end of the seventh
page, so be sure you include all required memo components within that overall page limit.
A draft of your memo, including at minimum the Question Presented, Brief Answer,
Facts, an outline of your Discussion, and Conclusion, is due no later than Thursday,
September 14, at 5:00 p.m. The final memo, which will be graded, is due on or before
Thursday, September 21, at 5:00 p.m.
In preparing your office memo, please cite case authority consistent with the ALWD
citation manual. For statutes, please use the following format: Kan. Stat. Ann. § xx-xxx (2006).
While I expect you to make a reasonable effort to accurately cite your authorities, the precise
form of your citations will not affect your grade on this assignment. You are expected to
demonstrate that you know when you should cite authority to support a statement in your memo.
You may discuss the research materials and your analysis with other students who are working
on the same closed memo assignment. However, you may not discuss the assignment or any of
the materials with anyone else - including other law students, your parents, your lawyer, your
roommate, or your significant other. In addition, you may not show your written work to anyone,
including your classmates in this course. Writing, revising, editing, and proofreading of your
memo must be done by you alone. Any departure from these requirements will be considered a
violation of the Washburn School of Law Honor Code and handled accordingly.
