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.

30. In October 20, 2020 Guayaquil will celebrate 200 years since their independence (Bicentenario) from
Spain
A local citizen’s initiative is leading an effort to deliver something for the city / region
A long term land use / development plan with a scale model will be the deliverable for the city,
depending on the funds; this scale model might become a museum
A local transect and form based code will be used to organize land. On top of the transect, a
development plan for the region will be done with a time frame of 50 years to complete
Here is the context; Guayaquil is the biggest canton (county at Guayas Province). The following is a map
of Guayas province
Ecuador has an area of 286000 sq Km (110000 sq mi) and 14.5 million residents
Guayas Province has an area of 16800 sq km (6500 sq mi) and 3.7 million residents
Guayaquil county would the center of the metropolitan district region (area in red) and will include the
following conurbated counties (green).
Covering approximately 8750 sq km (3380 sq mi) and 2.7 million residents
31.
32. Model Explanation
Page # 1
Compares US and Ecuador´s political Systems; Ecuador has 4 levels as the US. The only difference is at
the last level. In the US land that is not incorporated as city remains as part of the county, here in
Ecuador all land is subdivided. Counties (Cantones) are composed of Rural Parroquias (rural cities) and
Urban Parroquias (urban cities). Alcaldes (Mayor / County authorities) are publicly elected, as well as
Rural and Urban Parroquias Chief (Jefe de Juntas Parroquiales)
Page # 2
Describes business processes breakdown from the highest level down to task level. Organizational charts
and performance indicator will be generated based on process subdivision
Page # 3
Show model conceptually. From the vision, objectives and projects are developed, whereas from the
mission statement, areas responsibilities and business processes are developed.
A diagnostic to determine breach to be fulfilled will be performed for specific categories (explained in
page 12). Then, strategic objectives and key performance indicator with their goals are developed. At
top level strategies are aligned with strategic objectives, in the lower levels, these strategies become
business processes and projects
Page # 4
Show the whole model to be implemented. On the top on the left side, systems related to land use and
developments are listed, each system will be explained in page # 5. On the right side, all areas that need
to be address are listed from the organizational / business perspective
LEVEL 0
At level 0 (N0), there is a board with a CEO. The board is composed by all county authorities and city
authorities voted by people. The CEO is named by the board.
The board is responsible for a mission and vision statement that should be related to the Region
“business” perspective, either they go for tourism, logistics, industrial, mining, agriculture, etc. Approve
budget and projects for coordination at level 1 (N1) and to propose strategies / transverse policies for
each one of the systems related to land uses and area needed for the business model
LEVEL 1
At level 1 (N1), there are two appointed coordinator by the board. These coordinators are member of
the board and are voted by the people. The first coordination groups all urban cities and the other
group rural cities. Additional coordination’s might be created to group support areas such as: HR,
33. PMO’s, BPMO’s, Finance, etc in order to save tax payers money. It does not make sense to have multiple
HR of Financial departments.
Each coordination have strategic objective that should be aligned to level 0 strategies. Objectives should
not be hanging loose, all objectives must be aligned to a level 0 strategy, on the same token all
strategies at level 0 should de supported by objectives at level 1
Performance indicator should be generated for each objective at level 1. Indicator suggested by the
International Development Bank (IDB) (A document detailing these indicators is attached) should land
on level 1 objectives.
Goal and Results for at this level will depend on the performance at level 2, which would be group by
indicators at level 1
Level 1 coordination’s are responsible for the projects under their responsibility as well as for budget
LEVEL 2
Level 2 responsible is elected by the people either at rural cities or urban cities.
They also have strategies objectives that are aligned to Level 1 strategies. The same logic is applied, all
objective must be aligned to level 1 and all strategies should be supported by level 3 objectives
Strategic objectives have indicator with goal and results for their territory, adjusted to their reality. The
results affect level 1; hence a bad performance at level 2 means a bad performance at level 1
Elected authorities are responsible for the budget and projects at their territory
LEVEL 3
Responsible is recruited by the HR office
Operative’s objectives are proposed at this level. The syntaxis for these objectives is different; it will be
explained in page 6.
All of the objectives must be aligned to Level 2 strategies
Performance indicator with goals and future results will proposed for objectives
Strategies at this level become projects and business processes. Responsible at this level must assure
right execution for projects and business process
Budget for their division, which include all sub processes, activities and tasks is allocated at this level
Decision roles at software tools usually are allocated at this level
A responsible at this level may have a replicated sub process at many places
34. LEVEL 4
Responsible is recruited by the HR office
This level does not have objectives indicator, however business processes should be aligned at a level 3
operative objectives
Performance is measured by standard indicators for business processes
Budget for business processes are the needed activities and tasks is allocated at this level
Sub processes usually are composed of 5 – 7 activities
Some decision point for software tools might be done at this level
A business process at this level could be replicated in many places. Think about bank tellers
LEVEL 5
Responsible is recruited by HR office
Activities are part of business processes. Performance is measured by average time to finish activities.
An activity might complete by a set of tasks
At this level, 6 sigma might be applied and continuous improvement projects reside
Level 5 budgets are part of level 4 budget
Activities might require many tasks
Software support tools are applied at this level
LEVEL 6
Responsible is recruited by HR office
Performance measurement logic is similar to level 5, tasks accomplishment is measured by average
time. Various tasks might part of an activity
Level 6 budget is also part of Level 4 budget
Most of tasks are performed with the support of software tools
LEVEL 7, 8, 9
These are additional level that might be used in case tasks need further subdivision
Page # 5
35. Explain the syntaxis for strategic objectives used in levels 1 and 2
•
•
•
•
Either start with an incremental verb or an detrimental verb
Verbs are followed by the element that needs to be measured (What is going to be measured)
Finally, it has the focus or limits for the objective
The objective statement should cover all indicators

•
Left side
o Either start with an incremental verb or an detrimental verb
o Verbs are followed by the element that needs to be measured (What is going to be
measured)
A connection word is used in the middle
Right Side
o How statement
o Lists actions required to accomplish the left side
o Must be broad enough to cover business process and projects
Page # 9
Explain syntaxis for Strategies used at level 0,1 and 2
Must use action verbs
Should state a clear focus / limit

Page # 12
Details the different systems for the model
At level 0 high level policies are stated, level 1 is the first “landing” exercise of policies until it gets to the
tasks level
URBAN / RURAL SETTLEMENTS SYSTEM: The back bone of the plan. Depending on the transect usage,
land will be divided in urban and non-urban, agricultural, buffers. Based on the different amounts of
land available at the region and their growth projections, nevertheless looking at land / soil capabilities,
the rest of the plan should be articulated. Hence, transect is the main actor in this model. All of the
components should be adjusted to the local or specific needs at urban or rural cities
36. Public Works: Future needs and breach that need to be closed based in the growth population estimate
and long term economical needs of the region for: Water, Sewage, garbage disposal
Land Occupation: The region has lots of “illegal” settlement, how this problem is going to be solved.
Where can people leave? How do we relocate people living in danger zones?

should be approached
Mobile Phones: Zones that are not covered by private companies should be covered by public
companies already working in the country
Land Lines Phones: Same logic than Mobile Phones

Lists all the districts non compatible with urban uses. The integration with transportation will be
explained in the upcoming pages
1.
Airport / Ports: Is the first district. All passenger and products arrive at this district outside the
urban settlements
2.
Mass Transit Terminal: At this district all passenger arriving from either bigger or smaller urban
settlement should arrive in order to find a public vehicle travelling to the inner urban ring
3.
Industrial Zone: Is located next to the mass transit district in order to allow workers day workers
outside the urban settlement to quickly get to their jobs
4.
Logistics Centers / Transference Markets: Located next to the industrial zone in order to allow
primary product arriving from other urban settlements either to move them to the inner city or to move
them to industrial zone.
5.
Public Works district: All plants related to public utilities should be located next to each other in
this district.
6.
Mining: Uses related to mining should be located in this district
7.
Emergency / Contingency: All bases or headquarters related to emergency response processes
are located in this district
8.
Special Hospitals: Big hospital complexes are located in this district. For example Cancer Clinics
9.
University Campus: University campuses are located in a special district
10.
Sports arenas
11.
Adults entertainment: All uses related to adult entertainment have a designated district
12.
Detention centers: All jails or long term detention center are located on this district
13.
Recycling plants: Garbage trucks will leave from landfills in district 5 with recycling materials.
Additionally, they will collect recycling products from districts 6 through 12. Once recycling materials are
processed they could be exported from district 1 or processed in district 3
14.
Used Product Districts: This district will be mostly used to exchange used cars. If products could
not be traded, recycling trucks will move them to district 3 for reuse purposes or else products would be
taken to landfills
15.
Governmental offices: This district will organize all governmental and civic offices in a single
district
42. 16.
Special Touristic sites: If any local theme natural park or touristic site is planned, should be
located in district 16. Moreover, it is close to district 1 (Airports / Ports)
17.
Future Districts: This land is preserved for future land uses that are not compatible with inner
urban ring or required a special designated place. For example, for example future university campuses

The federal government does not have long term plans for freight or passenger trains. In case they do,
they should move people from grand central to another grand central
From the grand central to the inner city, light metro could be used
Public transportation will be organized using standard vehicles types and color coding buses. The
following are the vehicles suggested
Type VII Vehicles: Paratransit
Type VIII Vehicles: Microbuses / Internal city centers connectors
Type IX Vehicles: External City Center Connectors (Orange Colored)
