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.

3. This is an Illinois State Board of Education
grant-funded project under the McKinney-
Vento Homeless Children and Youth
Program
The goal of this statewide initiative is to
disseminate information to Illinois schools
and shelters as to the educational rights and
needs of homeless children and youth
4. McKinney-Veto Homeless Assistance Act was first signed
into law on July 22, 1987.
This remains the only major federal legislative response to
homelessness.
This Act insures the child the right to choose to stay in the
school of origin or attend the school nearest their shelter or
temporary home.
This Act insures immediate enrollment even when
school/medical records cannot be produced at the time of
enrollment
Ensures they will receive assistance with transportation if
needed
5. I think the Opening
Doors project is an
amazing addition to
NCLB. It gives homeless
children the opportunity
to learn just the same as
privileged children, does
Indiana have anything
like this project in place?
Menu
6. NCLB gives states and school districts more control
and more flexibility to use resources where they are
needed most. Less time filling out forms and more
time helping children
NCLB holds schools and school districts accountable
for results
NCLB gives school districts more money. In fact,
President Bush and Congress have spent more money
than ever before on the education of America’s
children
7. NCLB gives parents report cards so they can see which
schools in their district are succeeding and why
NCLB may let you transfer your child to another public
school if the state says that your child’s school is “in
need of improvement”. The school district may pay for
transportation for your child
NCLB may also provide your child with free tutoring
and extra help with schoolwork if the state says your
child’s school has been “in need of improvement” for
at least 2 years
8. There are many things
about NCLB that I didn’t
know. This website is
very useful, not only
parents, but for teachers.
Do you agree with NCLB
and do you think it is
working?
Menu
9. The NCLB Act of 2001 is a landmark in education
reform designed to improve student achievement and
close achievement gaps
As part of the accountability provisions set forth in the
law, NCLB has set the goal of having every child make
the grade on state-defined education standards by the
end of the 2013-14 school year
NCLB does not label schools a “failing”, instead they
are identified as “in need of improvement” and they
are given assistance to improve by doing such things as
instituting a school improvement plan or increasing
professional development for teachers
10. When schools are defined as “in need of
improvement” they work on identifying problems in
instruction or curriculum and also analyzing and
revising the school’s budget so that resources are more
effectively targeted to activities most likely to help
students learn
NCLB outlines the minimum qualifications needed by
teachers: a bachelor’s degree, full state certification
and demonstration of subject-matter competency for
each subject taught
11. This was a very useful
website for teachers to
get familiar with the
NCLB Act. Do you think
the goal of every child
“making the grade” by
the school year 2013-2014
is an unrealistic goal?
Menu
12. I have learned so much about NCLB. It is amazing all
the information that is available. I had no idea how
detailed this Act was. It seems to cover all aspects of a
child’s education. This ensures that, in fact, no child is
left behind in the education system. It gives all
opportunities for children to truly reach their
potential. As long as this is followed and used in all
school systems, there is no reason a child should be
without proper education.
