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.

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.

JD Salinger
Born January 1, 1919
Died January 27, 2010
3. Early Life Salinger grew up in New York City, the youngest of two children.
His father, Sol Salinger, the son of a rabbi, ran a cheese and ham import business.
His mother, Miriam, was Scottish. Mixed marriages were so looked down on by
society that Miriam’s roots were hidden. Salinger didn’t know about his mother’s
ethnicity until is bar mitzvah at age 14
4. School
As a student, Salinger was active in
theater and singing. His patents sent
him to Valley Forge Military Academy,
a similar school to the school featured
in The Catcher in the Rye.
5. Military
After the attack on Pearl Harbor,
Salinger was drafted into the army.
He served from ‘42-’44. He landed at
Utah Beach in France during the
Normandy Invasion and saw the
Battle of the Bulge.
6. Adult life He had a nervous breakdown
during his military service. While
recovering, he met and married
a woman named Sylvia. They
were only married 8 months.
In 1955 he married Claire
Douglas. They were married a
little over 10 years and had 2
children.
He and Claire Douglas divorced.
Six years later he began a
relationship with college
freshman Joyce Maynard. They
lived together for 10 months
before he kicked her out.
He also dated actress Ellen Joyce.
He married Colleen O’Neill, a
young nurse, who remained his
wife to his death at his home in
Cornish.
7. The Catcher in the Rye
The Catcher in the Rye was
published on July 16, 1951. It
changed Salinger's life and
American fiction.
“Some saw the main character
of Caulfield and his quest for
something pure in an
otherwise ‘phony’ world as
promoting immoral views.”
To date the book has sold more
than 120 million copies
worldwide.
8. Recluse
He became a recluse because “He found fame abhorrent and literary criticism
distasteful.”
He moved to Cornish, New Hampshire and did his best to keep his life private.
When Ian Hamilton attempted an unauthorized biography of J.D. Salinger,
Salinger successfully protested the use of letters that he had written to
friends and editors between 1939 and 1961. He claimed infringement of
copyright and invasion of privacy even though the letters had been donated
to libraries and were available for study. A Federal Appeals Court denied use
of even short quotations or paraphrases from the letters. Salinger was
granted legal injunctions against publication of Hamilton's book; these were
upheld when the United States Supreme Court refused to review the verdicts
of two lower federal courts that held in favor of Salinger. The decision was
considered extraordinary. According to David Margolic, legal affairs writer for
the New York Times, this was "the first time in American memory that a book
had been enjoined prior to publication, and it sent shock waves throughout
the academic and publishing communities" (November 1, 1987).
