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

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

If given a chance to assume
government position, what would
it be? Why? How are you going to
exercise the power vested in you?
• Is power always positive?
Negative? Both?
• What is the purpose of power?
Editor's Notes
Why Power and Politics?
To direct and control behavior of organizational members to achieve organizational goals
power -- This refers to the means by which the influence is accomplished.
Power motive defined as need to manipulate others and have superiority over them. Authority legitimizes and is a source of power. Authority is right to manipulate or change others. Power need not be legitimate
Influence -- This refers to the outcome of an attempt to change someone’s behavior or attitude
osition
Derives from a person’s position within organizational hierarchy.
Legitimate power
The extent to which a manager can use subordinates’ internalized values or beliefs that the boss has the “right of command” to control their behavior.
This power source stems from internalized values of other persons giving legitimate right to agent to influence them. Others feel the obligation to accept this power; it is identical to authority and closely aligned with reward and coercive power. It does not depend on relationship with others; rather on position or role the person holds.
Reward power
The extent to which a manager can use extrinsic and intrinsic rewards to control other people.
Depends upon person’s ability and resources to reward others. Target of this power must value these rewards. In organization, managers have many potential rewards, e.g., pay increase, promotions, favourable work assignments, more responsibility, new equipment, praise, feedback, recognition, etc.
Coercive power
The extent to which a manager can deny desired rewards and administer punishment to control other people.
This source of power depends on fear. People with coercive power have ability to inflict punishment or aversive sequences on other person or make threats about punishment. It has negative connotation and most commonly thought in terms of physical force.
This power comes from desire on part of other person to identify with agent wielding power. Others grant this power because he is attractive and has desirable resources or personal characteristics, e.g., advertisers use celebrities, movie stars, sports figures the buying public identifies with. Timing is an interesting aspect of this. In organizational context, managers with referent power must be attractive to subordinates.
Based on extent others attribute knowledge and expertise to power seeker. Experts are perceived to have knowledge or understanding in certain well-defined areas. All sources depend on target’s perceptions of agent to be credible, trustworthy and relevant. Credibility comes from having right credentials and display of tangible evidence of knowledge.
