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.

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. The Strategic Planning Process
This year, our discussions presented
a serious challenge:
How can we be certain that the work we do each
day supports our mission if we cannot remember it?
How might we make our mission more succinct
and represent what we believe we are here
to accomplish?
7. The Strategic Planning Process
President Sebolt appointed a committee to review
The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Mission Statement.
His challenges to the committee:

What are we here to do?

memorable & powerful.
• Finally, get feedback from the campus and online
communities.

AiP Board of Trustees approves the new
Mission Statement.
11. Examples Of Feedback
The Board questioned the term “creative arts”
and suggested that “fields of design” may be a
better choice. They encouraged that we “The
Art Institute of Pittsburgh” be removed from the
statement and suggested that this is implied and
the statement should begin with action.
The Board supported the adoption of a Mission
Statement that is short and succinct.
12. Examples Of Feedback
More than 75 responses were received
from the college community.
While feedback about wording choices
varied dramatically, the college community
universally supported the need for a
succinct, memorable mission.
13. Examples Of Feedback
One student’s response:
I think that the proposal is a better Mission Statement for a
number of reasons.
1. The current Mission Statement is too long.
2. The wording in the current Mission Statement is too much.
There are too many “big words” in the current statement.
Thus, making it hard to remember and recite.
3. The new proposal is “short and sweet.” Short and sweet
makes people want to jump on board.
14. A Continuous Cycle of Improvement
Working together, everyone has had an opportunity to
contribute to developing a Mission Statement that closely
reflects what we want to achieve.
The outcome of our process is a simple, memorable
declaration of the purpose we are here to fulfill.
