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.
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.

Transcripts
3. Pretend that you are a College Admissions
Board. As a team, put them in order of
Most Likely to Least Likely to get accepted!
4. Be prepared to share your reasons!
2. Transcript Toss Up
• Things to think about when deciding:
– What did the candidates get on their ACT?
– What are the candidates GPA?
– What kinds of grades did the candidates get?
– Did the candidates show improvement from 9th
to 12th grade?
3. Can you guess who?
• One of the Transcripts belongs to a High
School Drop-out
• One of the Transcripts belongs to a Teen Mom
Your Transcript isn’t a true reflection of who you
are as a person, but it does give an impression
of who you are as a student!
What can you do to make a good
First Impression?
5. What does my transcript tell me?
• What courses you’ve taken
• What courses you’ve passed and failed
• How many credits you have earned
• Your GPA for each Term
• Your Cumulative GPA
• Your Credit Summary
6. What can my transcript help me figure
out?
• What courses you still need to take (or retake)
• If you are on track to advance to the next
grade level
• How close you are to meeting graduation
requirements
7. Who gets to see my transcript?
• Colleges and Universities!
– When you apply to college, you have to send them an
official transcript
• Scholarship Programs
– If you apply for scholarships, you might need to send them
an official transcript if the scholarship is grade or GPA
based
• Counselors and Teachers
– To help you stay on track to graduation!
– To help you determine the best college or post-high school
plan for you!
• You and your parents/guardians
– Your transcript is a record of your successes! Make sure
you know what it says!
8. So, what am I looking at?
You are looking at a version of your
UNOFFICIAL Transcript!
9. • The Course tells you the Course Number and
the Course Name
• These are the classes you have taken and
received a grade for.
10. • The Course numbers tell you if it is Part A or Part B of a
class
• Numbers ending in 4 = Part A
• Numbers ending in 5 = Part B
• Numbers ending in 6 = Part C (for Year Long Courses)
11. • The Mark is the letter grade you received for
each class.
12. • The Weight is how many credits each course is
worth.
• At Valley, each trimester class is worth ½ credit.
13. • Credit is how many credits you earned for each
class you took.
• So if you passed, you get 0.5 credits.
• If you failed you get 0.0 credits.
14. • Term tells you during what grading period you
took those classes and earned those marks.
Term 2 = 1st Tri Term 4 = 2nd Tri Term 6 = 3rd Tri
Term 7 = Summer School and/or ESS
15. • Credit (at the bottom) tells you how many
credits you earned for just that Term.
16. • GPA tells you your Grade Point Average for just
that Term
• Your GPA is an average of your Marks:
A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 U=0
17. • The section called GPA Summary shows your
Cumulative GPA – which is your total GPA for all
of your classes during high school
• Weighted just means that if you are in AP,
Advanced, or Honors classes, you have been
given GPA “Bonus Points”
18. • The section called Credit Summary tells you how many
Credits you have earned in the different category of
classes towards Graduation Requirements
• It is a general guide, not an official count!
19. Graduation Requirement = 22 credits
• English = 4 credits
• Math = 3 credits (but you have to pass a Senior Math
class)
• Science = 3 credits
• Social Studies = 3 credits
• Health = ½ credit
• PE = ½ credit
• Computer Apps. = 1 credit
• Humanities (HAVPA) = 1 credit
• Electives = 6 credits
– Honors students must have 2 credits of the same World
Language
Remember – each “part” of a class = ½ credit!
You have to pass both parts A and B to get 1 credit!
20. What grade am I in?
• Your grade level is based on how many credits you
have earned:
10th = 5 credits
11th = 11 credits
12th = 16 credits
Graduate = 22
It is possible to get more than 22 credits.
It is possible to change grade levels mid-year
– although it will only be done at the
1st Trimester Report Card!
22. What is a Working Lack Card
• A Lack Card is something the counselors use
to keep track of what classes you have already
passed, and which ones you need to take.
• It’s like a Graduation Requirement Check List
• We call it “Working” because you add on to it
all year long
23. A Note on Class Names:
• As long as the name of the course has the
Required Course name in it, it counts!
• Ex) – AP U.S. History COUNTS as US History
• Ex) – AP English Language and Composition
COUNTS as English 3
24. Abbreviation Key
• SS/Ex Civ = Survey of Social Studies OR Exploring Civics
• WC = World Civilization
• Gov = Government
• Literacy Lab = Eng Lab / Reading
• Eng Sp. Topics = ACT Prep OR Eng Intern Sr Sem
• US = U.S. History
• Bio-INT = Biology Intervention
• Humanities = History Arts HAVPA
• HNR = Honors
• AP = Advanced Placement
• ADV = Advanced Program
25. How do I fill it out?
• Looking at your
Unofficial Transcript:
– Shade in the box for the
Core Curriculum Classes
you have earned credit
for (no U’s)
This box is NOT filled
in because the
student earned a U!
26. How do I fill it out?
• Looking at your
Unofficial Transcript:
– Shade in the box for the
Required Elective Classes
you have earned credit
for (no U’s)
27. How do I fill it out?
• Looking at your Unofficial Transcript:
– Write in any other Elective classes on the lines
provided
– If it doesn’t have its own box, it’s an Elective!
28. How do I fill it out?
• Thinking about your schedule for this
trimester:
– Mark boxes with an X for courses you are
currently taking (Core Curriculum AND Elective)
29. How do I fill it out?
• Thinking about your schedule for this trimester:
– Write in any Elective classes you are currently taking
– Circle its number.
30. What’s the point of this, again?
• The point is to give you a visual representation
of what classes you need to take and pass in
order to graduate – especially if you are a
Senior!
• Unless you are a Senior, you will use this Lack
Card when you do Schedule Requests for next
year!
• Take responsibility for your own education!
Know what you need to do and do it!
31. You only get one chance to make
a good first impression!
32. The BIG Questions
• What does your transcript say about you?
• Is it an accurate reflection of how you are as a
student? As a person?
• What does it NOT say about who you are?
• What accomplishments does it NOT reflect?
• What can you do to create a better picture of
who you really are?
33. Set a SMART Goal!
• S= Specific: focused, not vague or general
• M= Measurable: you will know for sure when
you have reached your goal
• A= Appropriate: related to your grades or
academic achievement
• R= Realistic: the goal is doable, but still
ambitious
• T= Timebound: you have a date picked out for
when you want to have achieved your goal
