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.

6. Traditional stereotypes
• Traditionally men have
held power in our
society – this system
where men have power
and control in society is
called patriarchy.
• Patriarchy = society run
by men for men
7. • The result of this is that
traditionally male qualities
and attributes have
generally been seen to be
superior to female
attributes.
• Consider, for example, the
fact that traditionally it
was the eldest son who
inherited – even if he had
several older sisters!
8. • This was often reflected in the media, as
most media companies were run by men!
• Masculinity was often represented in
ways that were shown to be superior to
feminine qualities. Men were often
shown to be more important and
powerful than women.
• Women were often shown in roles that
suited men and which kept them from
challenging men for power.
• In other words, the media showed men
and women how men wanted them to be!
9. Write down a list of words under the heading, ‘Representation of men in film’ using
the images below:
10. Representation is a very important term within the genre of Action Adventure.
Men and women have very clear and stereotypical gender roles. These have
been enforced over decades of films.
Notice what physical similarities all of these characters have.
All are exaggerated examples of masculinity. They are role
models for the male audience to aspire to and want to be like.
12. In the past the stereotypical role of the female character was
the attractive damsel in distress who would often either get in
the way or cause the hero to get into peril.
Naturally she would ‘fall for his oh-so-obvious charms’.
13. Most audiences are over-familiar
with the idea of the damsel-in-
distress female character so film
makers have adapted them.
We are beginning to see an increase
in ‘strong’ female characters –
some are even considered to be
important enough to be the lead role.
14. Diamond 9
In pairs – create diamond
shape putting what type
of female character is
represented as being the
strongest.
You’ll need to discuss
with your partner and
perhaps compromise to
reach an agreement. Be
ready to explain your
reasons.

19. Empowered Women
Allowed to be tough, but are still
sexually objectified as they wear very
revealing clothes to maximise their
sexual appeal.
They are mostly (not always) controlled
by or need rescuing by men.
Angelina Jolie in Tomb
Raider and Mr and Mrs
Smith
20. Because of their target audience,
Action Adventure films are shot from
a male point of view.
This was called by Laura Mulvey the
‘male gaze’.
Men are watching men on the
screen. Remember: the heroes are
role models for the male audience to
aspire to and want to be like.
The camera will often linger on a shot
of a woman’s body to gratify the male
audience.
21. Unnecessary shows of flesh or
revealing clothes
Crocodile Dundee
Star Trek: Into Darkness
24. Sum up today’s learning using the following key words:
Stereotype Representation Gender Target Audience
Expectation Roles Male Gaze Patriarchy
For years, the roles of men and women are almost always very clear and defined within
Action Adventure films...
