President Harry Truman became president in 1945 after Franklin D. Roosevelt's death. During his presidency, he authorized dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to Japan's surrender. The emergence of nuclear weapons and tensions with the Soviet Union marked the beginning of the Cold War. Truman pursued a policy of communist containment and established institutions like NATO and the Truman Doctrine to provide aid against Soviet expansionism. One crisis during this period was the Berlin Blockade by the Soviet Union in 1948, to which Truman responded by organizing the Berlin Airlift to supply West Berlin by air until the blockade ended.

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.

2. End of World War II
• Truman became president when Franklin D Roosevelt
died suddenly just before the end of WWII
• Truman made the decision to drop two atomic bombs
on Japan (Hiroshima & Nagasaki) (a potentially bloody American
invasion was the other option)
• Japan surrendered following the bombings
• Much of the next forty years was dominated by the
threat posed by these ‘new’ Nuclear weapons
• Ironically, it was American and the USSR, two of the
sides responsible for defeating the Nazis that
accounted for this threat
• This was called the Cold War
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF4LQaWJRDg
3. Key word: Communism
• In a communist state the state owns all land,
mines and all factories. Everyone works for the
government; there is no rich, no poor, everyone is
equal
• Russia under the control of Stalin was a
communist state. He wanted to control more
countries and to make them communist.
• The Americans feared the spread of Communism.
It was a capitalist country.
4. 1. Why did America
drop an atomic
bomb on Japan?
2. Was it the right
decision?
3. What does the
word communism
mean?
Before
After
Hiroshima, Japan
5. The Truman Presidency, 1945-53
• There was hostility between the two sides which led
to the Cold War
• Truman had a policy of “Communist Containment” –
he would do all he could to stop Stalin from
spreading communism to other countries. This
continued for all of the Cold War.
Called a “Cold War” as there was no actual fighting but
there was serious tension that nuclear war could break
out. It went on between US and USSR for over 40 years.
6. 1. Name 2 countries where
communism was found
during the 20th Century
2. What things had the USA
done to stop the spread of
communism?
7. The Truman Doctrine
• Truman pledged the USA would provide political,
military and economic assistance to any country under
threat from communist forces.
• This was called the Truman Doctrine.
• He gave $400million to help Greece and Turkey against
Communism.
• Truman introduced the Marshall Plan (American loans)
which aimed to help Europe rebuild after WWII
• Truman argued that Communism flourishes in
economically deprived areas and so helping Europe
rebuild would stop the spread of communism from
Russia

8. The Berlin Blockade
• When WWII ended the Allies were not sure what to
do with Germany. They decided to split it in 4
between US, France, UK and Russia. At the time all
four were on the same side and relations were
good.
• Germanys main city, Berlin was in the Russian part.
Berlin was also split between the four of them.
• As the Cold War developed and Russia began to
spread its influence onto its neighbouring countries,
relations between the East (Russia) and the West
(UK, US and France) began to crumble.

12. The Berlin Blockade
• Stalin decided to blockade West Berlin in an attempt to
force the Western Allies out of the city.
• Truman and the US organised for supplies to be airlifted
into West Berlin every day because Stalin closed all
train and road routes into West Berlin.
• The Blockade continued for 11 months until Stalin
finally called it off and he allowed them to use the
trains and roads through East Germany again.
Keyword: Blockade – this is the surrounding or the
blocking of an area to stop the entry or exit of supplies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZidBq8QS-g
14. Why did Stalin blockade Berlin?
• The communists did not win elections in Germany as
Stalin had of hoped
• The British and Americans were making plans
(organising elections in their parts of Germany and coordinating other
aspects of occupation) and refused to tell Stalin what they
were doing
• The British and Americans brought in a new currency.
Stalin had wanted to bring in his own currency
• Stalin was suspicious of everyone but especially
capitalists like America
• In response Stalin decided to blockade the city of
Berlin
15. Berlin Airlift
• To counter Stalin’s blockade the Americans and British
flew in supplies into their parts of Berlin
• This situation lasted for over a year with several flights
into Berlin delivering supplies (food, water, fuel)
• Eventually Stalin ended the blockade and allowed
access to US, British & French sectors
• The incident lead to suspicion and ill feeling on both
sides
• The Berlin wall was constructed to have a permanent
division between East (Communist) and West
(Capitalist) Berlin
16. The Truman Presidency
• Worried about the expansion of Russia and communism,
Truman helped set up NATO (North Atlantic Treaty
Organisation) to defend the US and Europe against Russia.
• He was to also send troops to help South Korea against
communist North Korea as promised by the Truman Doctrine.
• During his time as president he also ended the segregation
(separation) of blacks and whites in the army. (He stopped short of
giving full equal rights to black Americans)
• The end of his term was dominated by the fear of
communism in the US (the Red Scare) due to a speech made
by Senator Joe McCarthy
• His time as President ended in 1953. He was succeeded by
Dwight Eisenhower.
