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
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.

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.

Learning objectives
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
❑Give reasons why organizations should
manage safety and health.
❑Give three direct and indirect costs that
might arise from a workplace accident.
5. INTRODUCTION
Occupational health and safety is relevant to
all branches of industry, business and
commerce including traditional industries,
information technology companies, the
National Health Service, care homes, schools,
universities, leisure facilities and offices.
6. The study of occupational safety and health involves the
study of many different subjects including;
SCIENCES
Chemistry,
Physics and
Biology
Engineering
Psychology
Sociology
Law
7. Key terms used in Occupation Safety and Health
(OSH).
Health: The protection of the bodies and minds of people from illness resulting
from the materials, processes or procedures used in the workplace.
SAFETY: the condition of being protected from harm or other non-desirable
outcomes. It means keeping oneself and others free from danger.
WELFARE: is the provision of facilities to maintain the health and wellbeing of
individuals at the work place. Employee welfare is a comprehensive term, it
includes various services, benefits and facilities offered to employees by
employers. E.g. portable water, sanitary conveniences, changing rooms,
canteens etc..
8. Cont’
Hazard: The potential of a substance, person, or activity or process to cause harm. E.g. electricity, chemicals,
noise, dust etc..
RISK: Is the probability of a substance, person, activity or process to cause harm. A risk is a chance high or
low that any hazards will actually cause harm.
ACCIDENT: Undesired circumstances which give rise to ill health or injury, damage to property, plants
(industries), products or the environment. Accidents can also be production losses or increased liabilities.
NEAR MISS: Any form of event which could have resulted in injury or loss but did not in fact do so.
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY: An injury that take place in the course of a persons employment activities
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES: Any chronic ailment that occurs as a result of work or occupational activities, e.g.
respiratory infections
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OSH): Is a multi-disciplinary field concerned with the safety, health
and welfare of people at work.
9. GOALS/AIMS OF OSH
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the foundations
on which appropriate health and safety
systems may be built. Occupational health and safety
affects all aspects of work. In a low hazard organization,
health and safety may be supervised by a single competent
manager. In a high hazard manufacturing
plant, many different

social well-being of
workers in all
occupations.

needs.
11. SAFETY AND HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (SHMS)
A Safety and Health Management System (SHMS) is a
systematic approach to managing safety and health
activities by integrating occupational safety and health
programs, policies, and objectives into organizational
policies and procedures. Simply stated, a SHMS is a set of
safety and health program components that interact in an
organized way. An effective SHMS must be uniquely
designed for each organization. It is not a “one size fits all.”
12. Management Commitment
and Planning-
Management Commitment and Planning- Top
management must provide visible ongoing commitment
and leadership for implementing the SHMS covering all
workers, including contract workers.
Employee Involvement –
The best SHMSs involve employees at
every level of the organization. Employees
are often those closest to the hazard and
have first-hand knowledge of workplace
hazards.
Safety and Health Training –
Training is the means to help assure employees
and management understand safety and health
hazards and know how to protect themselves and
others from the hazards while doing their job.
Worksite Analysis –
Worksite analysis is a comprehensive
evaluation of the hazards and
potential hazards in the workplace.
Worksite Analysis –
Worksite analysis is a comprehensive
evaluation of the hazards and potential
hazards in the workplace.
AN EFFECTIVE SHMS DEPENDS ON;
Effective management actively establishes
procedures for timely identification, correction and
control of hazards. Once hazards and potential
hazards are recognized, a hazard prevention and
control program can be designed.
Hazard Prevention and Control –
13. ❑ Integrating these elements into the way you conduct business
will help develop or strengthen the safety and health culture
and identify safety and health as a core organizational value.
❑ A management system allows us to decide what needs to be
done, how best to do it, and monitor our progress toward the
goals we have established. Evaluation of results over time
permits the process and results it creates to continue to
improve.
14. Why Implement a Safety and Health
Management System (SHMS)?
Moral reasons-
the most important reason for maintaining a
robust health and safety management system is
that it is right to do so. No one should be injured
or made ill at work!
Employers have a moral duty to look after the
health, safety and welfare of their employees. In
other words, employees have the right to be
kept safe at work.
Economic reasons-
accidents costs money as a result of
injured people, damaged assets and
wasted time. These may include;
Economic reasons-
a) Insurance costs
b) Sickness cover
c) Loss of production
d) Penalties and fines
e) Reputation
Legal reasons-
Employers and employees must comply with the
safety and health laws. Both the employer and
employee have a common law of duty of care to
each other and other employees.
15. ICE BURG THEORY
❑ It is a calculation method developed to estimate the
indirect costs of an accident in the workplace.
❑ It states that the indirect costs of an accident or illness
can befall ten times greater than the direct costs or even
more.
16.
17. ❑ Payment of work not performed
❑ Medical and compensation payments
❑ Repair and replacement of damaged machinery or equipment
❑ Reduction or temporally halt in production
❑ Increased training expenses and administration costs
❑ Possible reduction in the quality of work (e.g. loss of a
competent worker)
DIRECT COSTS TO THE EMPLOYER
18. INDIRECT COSTS TO EMPLOYERS
❑ The injured or ill must be replaced
❑ New workers must be trained and given time to adjust
❑ Loss of time in investigating and writing accident or incident
reports
19. DIRECT COSTS ON WORKERS
❑The pain and suffering due to an injury or illness
❑Loss of income
❑ Possible loss of the job
❑Health care costs
