Classical Argument
Persuasion and ArgumentPersuasion is the process of drawing conclusions and getting others to accept them and act upon them.Argumentation is the process of drawing conclusions after looking at both sides of an issue and getting others to accept one side based upon logic and careful exploration of facts.
Rhetoric and AudienceRhetoric is the “art of speaking or writing effectively”It is a set of skills used in college and in the business world Effective communication is an important skill in the work forceEffective communication gets our point across without embarrassment for ourselves or others. Effective communication understands what the audience does and does not know about the topic.
Aristotle’s Appeals: Ethos, Logos, and PathosAristotle was a student of Plato. Later, he was a teacher for Alexander the Great. He identified three appeals that can be used to persuade others. Ethos=ethics. Logos=logic. Pathos=emotion
Ethos=Ethics, CredibilityAs a writer, you will establish your credibility through careful research. Articles from experts in the field of study will help you build your ethos in the paper. An advertisement using ethos would be a McDonald’s commercial stating the number of years in business (hence they know how to make a decent hamburger). A car dealership might also state how long they have been at the same location. Or, the dealership might make sure you know“ 2013 Time Dealer of the year award nominee for being among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service” (Fuson Automotive).
Logos=LogicWhen using logos in an argument, we provide facts, statistics, evidence, and reason. An automobile commercial stating the vehicle gets x mpg is proving a logos appeal. When gas prices climb, auto makers want to highlight how many miles per gallon the car can travel. Therefore, a car advertised as getting 40 mpg would appeal to a consumer who travels a distance of 40 miles to and from work. If the reader finds the evidence given “logical” it will appeal to the reader.
Pathos=EmotionA pathos appeal will tap into human emotions. Some commercials are deliberately funny and are geared to draw us to the restaurant or product being advertised. From about mid-January until February 14, TV ads focus on how we should tell our “significant” other “I love you.” Commercials such as the “Sandals Resort” plays to adults who want a romantic get-away. We are frequently told ...

Role of Speaker
Informative Speakers Are Objective
Most public speaking texts discuss three general purposes for speeches: to inform, to persuade, and to entertain. Although these general purposes are theoretically distinct, in practice, they tend to overlap. Even in situations when the occasion calls for an informative speech (one which enhances understanding),
often persuasive and entertaining elements are present. First, all informative speeches have a persuasive component by virtue of the fact that the speaker tries to convince the audience that the facts presented are accurate (Harlan, 1993). Second, a well-written speech can make even the most dry, technical information entertaining through engaging illustrations, colorful language, unusual facts, and powerful visuals.
Informative Speakers are Credible
An objective approach also enhances a speaker’s credibility. Credibility, or ethos, refers to an audience’s perception that the speaker is well prepared and qualified to speak on a topic (Fraleigh & Tuman, 2011). Peterson, Stephan, and White (1992) explain that there are two kinds of credibility; the reputation that precedes you
before you give your speech (antecedent credibility) and the credibility you develop during the course of your speech (consequent credibility). In many cases, the
audience has no prior knowledge of the speaker, so they make judgments about the quality of the evidence and arguments in the speech. In addition, they look at and listen to the speaker to determine if s/he is a reliable source of information.
Informative Speakers Are Knowledgeable
Good informative speeches contain a number of different source citations throughout the speech. To show that the information you present is accurate

ENG 123 Writing Plan Guidelines and Rubric
Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them,
and the cause is half won.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to
encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of how we should feel about events.
We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a
particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue using researched facts and information. It also gives you the
chance to recognize opposing viewpoints and refute it, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.
Prompt: For this essay, you will identify an issue in your current major, a major you are interested in pursuing, or your field of work. You will then establish an
argument and support that argument with research and relevant evidence.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in one fully developed paragraph each:
I. Writing Plan: Use this writing plan as a way to gather your thoughts and determine your strategy for writing your critical analysis essay. This process will
allow you to develop a potential structure for effectively communicating and supporting your claim. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought
process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay.
A. Describe the argument to be addressed in your persuasive essay. Explain how the argument relates to your major, the major you are considering
pursuing, or your field of work.
B. Determine three key points that will be helpful in supporting your argument.
C. Identify the audience who will be reading your essay. What potential challenges will you encounter in supporting your argument with this
demographic?
D. Establish a goal that you hope to accomplish with this essay. What will this essay need to be successful?
E. List potential resources that could be used as supporting evidence for your argument, and provide a brief description of each and how they will
reinforce your argument.
F. Align key points of your argument with supporting resources for establishing an effective essay structure.
G. Based on your argument, determine at what points in the essay integrating evidence would be most effective, and explain why.

Elements of Magazine Cover Design
Masthead: the name of the magazine
Date
Main image including the background
Anchoring: Because images are open to interpretation like all forms of language, words are often used to anchor the image to in a particular meaning. On a magazine cover the Lead article lines often seek to anchor the image
Lead article line: headline for the main story
Coverlines: Headlines that indicate the content
Masthead:
What does the name of the magazine connote? For example, what changes about this magazine if, rather than calling it Vogue we call it Lookin Goooood! Or Extremely Fashionable Accoutrements? Would it have a different impact on the reader?
How well-known is the name of the magazine you are analyzing? What is its reputation?
What do the font choices seem to convey and why? If you download Find my Font or What the font on your phone you will be able to see which font the magazine is using, or least the family of fonts to which it belongs – that can give you background on the font (
whenever I suggest that students download an app on their phone, I like to remind them that most apps are monitoring you and selling your data. So, you should make the decision which apps you want to download to your device carefully). Note, you can also look at the font, describe it and ask yourself what is it trying to convey. Where is it placed on the page? Where have you seen this pattern
Coverlines:
What stories are in magazine? What does this convey about the magazine? What does it convey about how they see their audience? What words have been selected to convey this information. For example, on this cover: why might a fashion magazine emphasize ‘new’? How else might you say “coming of age”? why choose coming of age versus other words? Where else do you hear these types of phrases used? What type of energy and imagery do the word choices convey? Note that two of these stories (the Kaia Gerber story and the Rihanna story) are about growing up – why do you think that is?
Look at the font choices here too. Which words are emphasized? Why?
Lead article line:
What is the main story about? What does this convey about the magazine? For example, this Lead article is about Rihanna. What narrative are they conveying about her? What types of people are usually in this magazine. Which celebrities or other people is this magazine unlikely to feature in its lead article? Why not?
What words have been selected to communicate ideas about the lead article. For example, with this example, what is the impact of using alliteration:
Fearlessness,
Fenty, and
Finding Love? What do we know about the Rihanna brand that makes the word choice make sense? Look at the font choices here too. Which words are emphasized? Why?
Main image:
Ask yourself questions such as
Why this image? Why this particular person?
What does the lighting convey?
Where is the camera positioned, w.
Formal Outline Example[footnoteRef1] [1 Suppose the topic of th.docxbudbarber38650
Formal Outline Example[footnoteRef:1] [1: Suppose the topic of the article assigned to you for the presentation is: “How successfully families handle their kids.” Clearly, your “real” outline(s) has (have) to be much more detailed than this sample. Also, it is important that you paraphrase the issues, instead of copying the texts. The main, sub-, and sub-sub headings should in in words or phrases, not in full sentences.

GENERAL COMMENTS
Instructor
Hello, Kelechi! I enjoyed reading your media
analysis essay. You have a great draft going here
as you've included many specific details and
examples throughout to examine how one part
affects the whole media production.
I've made some rubric-specific notes throughout
for your consideration. For example, you'll need to
clarify your introduction to introduce the film right
from the beginning.
Also, you should revise your thesis a bit as well as
add content throughout. Make sure to use
citations in MLA style as well.
I look forward to reading more of your work,
Kelechi.

Hello!
My name is J.V. I hope these comments will assist you as you continue to learn about the
writing process. I look forward to reading your work!
*Revise Title* | Format
Here, instead of using the topic of the assignment or a shortened title, you could create a
title which captures the reader's attention. Example:
QM
QM
A narrative essay on a first road trip: Waterfalls and Concrete
A compare and contrast essay: Is One Mode of Technology Better?
A research/argumentative essay: Spyware: What Matters Most
A persuasive letter: Families Should Spend Time Together
What do you think?
Wordy | Language
Wordy:
If you use too many words to describe a relatively minor point, your paper may seem wordy.
In order to be as concise as possible, trim your sentences down and use longer, more
meaningful words. Try to use fewer two- and three-letter words, passive constructions, and
weak verbs such as "seem" and "appear."
Additional Comment
Instead, introduce the film or book you'll be discussing (the Lorax).
*Format citation to meet MLA style | Research
You should punctuate/format your citations correctly (here's a link to MLA In-Text Citations
Basics).
Also, here's an example:
Paraphrase:
...and then the economy would flourish (Smith 45).
Direct quote:
"...and the economy would do well" (Smith 45).

Proposal for Discourse and Discourse Community Project
4-5 Body pages, 200 points
Due on BB by 11:59 p.m. on B.B. on Thursday, September 6
Write a proposal for a specific discourse community. You can start a business; propose an event; propose the creation of an app or videogame; create a new product; or something else intended for your discourse community. Identify your reader (investors, leaders of the discourse community, other?) and work to persuade why this proposal will work well and how it will benefit your audience. You will examine the secondary Discourse (identity of the individual member) and discourse community to understand how to engage these consumers. Then discuss your proposal and how it will engage your target audience (members of the discourse community). Please provide a Title Page, the Body of the proposal (contains the different sections), and a References (APA format) or Works Cited (MLA format) page. Please place the page number centered at the bottom of each page. Please consult sample on Blackboard. Use business block format to write this proposal document.
A Discourse, according to James Paul Gee, is an identity we learn through enculturation and perform through language, thinking, and action. A discourse community, according to John Swales, shares common goals; ways to participate and exchange information; genres; specialized vocabulary; and master members and novitiates.
Please select a discourse community that interests you. Introduce it in your opening paragraph; you will also introduce your proposal and purpose, too. Then examine the secondary Discourse, which focuses on the individual identity (use a heading titled Discourse of the Individual). Write several paragraphs discussing this individual identity. Then write another heading titled Discourse Community; this section will use multiple paragraphs to discuss the larger discourse community.
Please analyze how the secondary Discourse operates and causes problems and provides benefits (for example, does it favor a certain kind of person? How does it keep non-members out?). Do the same for the discourse community section: how does it operate and cause problems and provide benefits?
Then state your proposal (with the heading titled Proposal). Write your proposal and discuss how you will implement it and why it will work well (multiple paragraphs). Acknowledge counterarguments readers might suggest or potential problems and how you will respond to these arguments or work with these problems.
Incorporate your research throughout your paper (use research to support each section). Find sources to support your discussion of the Discourse section, Discourse Community section, and the Proposal section; the sources do not need to speak explicitly about each section; they can provide support by speaking to the theme or topic of the section. How do your sources represent your discourse community? Why? How have other o ...

As part of my agency work at Media Touch, I used to run demos and events for food and health brands. This is an example of an informal short report for a client at the Epic Sustainable Living Expo. Our food safe certified, and social media trained ambassadors hosted the client's booth at the event. We provided this short report and photos to the client who was happy with the results and turn out.
Take note of how this report includes a combination of statistical and non statistical graphics, including tables, photos, screenshots, and quotes.

ENG 123 Writing Plan Guidelines and Rubric
Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them,
and the cause is half won.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to
encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of how we should feel about events.
We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a
particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue using researched facts and information. It also gives you the
chance to recognize opposing viewpoints and refute it, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.
Prompt: For this essay, you will identify an issue in your current major, a major you are interested in pursuing, or your field of work. You will then establish an
argument and support that argument with research and relevant evidence.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in one fully developed paragraph each:
I. Writing Plan: Use this writing plan as a way to gather your thoughts and determine your strategy for writing your critical analysis essay. This process will
allow you to develop a potential structure for effectively communicating and supporting your claim. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought
process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay.
A. Describe the argument to be addressed in your persuasive essay. Explain how the argument relates to your major, the major you are considering
pursuing, or your field of work.
B. Determine three key points that will be helpful in supporting your argument.
C. Identify the audience who will be reading your essay. What potential challenges will you encounter in supporting your argument with this
demographic?
D. Establish a goal that you hope to accomplish with this essay. What will this essay need to be successful?
E. List potential resources that could be used as supporting evidence for your argument, and provide a brief description of each and how they will
reinforce your argument.
F. Align key points of your argument with supporting resources for establishing an effective essay structure.
G. Based on your argument, determine at what points in the essay integrating evidence would be most effective, and explain why.
H. Describe a revision strategy that would be most effective while writing this essay. Why would this strategy be effective? ...

Elements of Magazine Cover DesignMasthead the name of.docxgreg1eden90113
Elements of Magazine Cover Design
Masthead: the name of the magazine
Date
Main image including the background
Anchoring: Because images are open to interpretation like all forms of language, words are often used to anchor the image to in a particular meaning. On a magazine cover the Lead article lines often seek to anchor the image
Lead article line: headline for the main story
Coverlines: Headlines that indicate the content
Masthead:
What does the name of the magazine connote? For example, what changes about this magazine if, rather than calling it Vogue we call it Lookin Goooood! Or Extremely Fashionable Accoutrements? Would it have a different impact on the reader?
How well-known is the name of the magazine you are analyzing? What is its reputation?
What do the font choices seem to convey and why? If you download Find my Font or What the font on your phone you will be able to see which font the magazine is using, or least the family of fonts to which it belongs – that can give you background on the font (
whenever I suggest that students download an app on their phone, I like to remind them that most apps are monitoring you and selling your data. So, you should make the decision which apps you want to download to your device carefully). Note, you can also look at the font, describe it and ask yourself what is it trying to convey. Where is it placed on the page? Where have you seen this pattern
Coverlines:
What stories are in magazine? What does this convey about the magazine? What does it convey about how they see their audience? What words have been selected to convey this information. For example, on this cover: why might a fashion magazine emphasize ‘new’? How else might you say “coming of age”? why choose coming of age versus other words? Where else do you hear these types of phrases used? What type of energy and imagery do the word choices convey? Note that two of these stories (the Kaia Gerber story and the Rihanna story) are about growing up – why do you think that is?
Look at the font choices here too. Which words are emphasized? Why?
Lead article line:
What is the main story about? What does this convey about the magazine? For example, this Lead article is about Rihanna. What narrative are they conveying about her? What types of people are usually in this magazine. Which celebrities or other people is this magazine unlikely to feature in its lead article? Why not?
What words have been selected to communicate ideas about the lead article. For example, with this example, what is the impact of using alliteration:
Fearlessness,
Fenty, and
Finding Love? What do we know about the Rihanna brand that makes the word choice make sense? Look at the font choices here too. Which words are emphasized? Why?
Main image:
Ask yourself questions such as
Why this image? Why this particular person?
What does the lighting convey?
Where is the camera positioned, w.

Formal Outline Example[footnoteRef:1] [1: Suppose the topic of the article assigned to you for the presentation is: “How successfully families handle their kids.” Clearly, your “real” outline(s) has (have) to be much more detailed than this sample. Also, it is important that you paraphrase the issues, instead of copying the texts. The main, sub-, and sub-sub headings should in in words or phrases, not in full sentences.

GENERAL COMMENTS
Instructor
Hello, Kelechi! I enjoyed reading your media
analysis essay. You have a great draft going here
as you've included many specific details and
examples throughout to examine how one part
affects the whole media production.
I've made some rubric-specific notes throughout
for your consideration. For example, you'll need to
clarify your introduction to introduce the film right
from the beginning.
Also, you should revise your thesis a bit as well as
add content throughout. Make sure to use
citations in MLA style as well.
I look forward to reading more of your work,
Kelechi.

Hello!
My name is J.V. I hope these comments will assist you as you continue to learn about the
writing process. I look forward to reading your work!
*Revise Title* | Format
Here, instead of using the topic of the assignment or a shortened title, you could create a
title which captures the reader's attention. Example:
QM
QM
A narrative essay on a first road trip: Waterfalls and Concrete
A compare and contrast essay: Is One Mode of Technology Better?
A research/argumentative essay: Spyware: What Matters Most
A persuasive letter: Families Should Spend Time Together
What do you think?
Wordy | Language
Wordy:
If you use too many words to describe a relatively minor point, your paper may seem wordy.
In order to be as concise as possible, trim your sentences down and use longer, more
meaningful words. Try to use fewer two- and three-letter words, passive constructions, and
weak verbs such as "seem" and "appear."
Additional Comment
Instead, introduce the film or book you'll be discussing (the Lorax).
*Format citation to meet MLA style | Research
You should punctuate/format your citations correctly (here's a link to MLA In-Text Citations
Basics).
Also, here's an example:
Paraphrase:
...and then the economy would flourish (Smith 45).
Direct quote:
"...and the economy would do well" (Smith 45).

Proposal for Discourse and Discourse Community Project
4-5 Body pages, 200 points
Due on BB by 11:59 p.m. on B.B. on Thursday, September 6
Write a proposal for a specific discourse community. You can start a business; propose an event; propose the creation of an app or videogame; create a new product; or something else intended for your discourse community. Identify your reader (investors, leaders of the discourse community, other?) and work to persuade why this proposal will work well and how it will benefit your audience. You will examine the secondary Discourse (identity of the individual member) and discourse community to understand how to engage these consumers. Then discuss your proposal and how it will engage your target audience (members of the discourse community). Please provide a Title Page, the Body of the proposal (contains the different sections), and a References (APA format) or Works Cited (MLA format) page. Please place the page number centered at the bottom of each page. Please consult sample on Blackboard. Use business block format to write this proposal document.
A Discourse, according to James Paul Gee, is an identity we learn through enculturation and perform through language, thinking, and action. A discourse community, according to John Swales, shares common goals; ways to participate and exchange information; genres; specialized vocabulary; and master members and novitiates.
Please select a discourse community that interests you. Introduce it in your opening paragraph; you will also introduce your proposal and purpose, too. Then examine the secondary Discourse, which focuses on the individual identity (use a heading titled Discourse of the Individual). Write several paragraphs discussing this individual identity. Then write another heading titled Discourse Community; this section will use multiple paragraphs to discuss the larger discourse community.
Please analyze how the secondary Discourse operates and causes problems and provides benefits (for example, does it favor a certain kind of person? How does it keep non-members out?). Do the same for the discourse community section: how does it operate and cause problems and provide benefits?
Then state your proposal (with the heading titled Proposal). Write your proposal and discuss how you will implement it and why it will work well (multiple paragraphs). Acknowledge counterarguments readers might suggest or potential problems and how you will respond to these arguments or work with these problems.
Incorporate your research throughout your paper (use research to support each section). Find sources to support your discussion of the Discourse section, Discourse Community section, and the Proposal section; the sources do not need to speak explicitly about each section; they can provide support by speaking to the theme or topic of the section. How do your sources represent your discourse community? Why? How have other o ...

Then examine the secondary Discourse, which focuses on the individual identity (use a heading titled Discourse of the Individual). Write several paragraphs discussing this individual identity. Then write another heading titled Discourse Community; this section will use multiple paragraphs to discuss the larger discourse community.
Please analyze how the secondary Discourse operates and causes problems and provides benefits (for example, does it favor a certain kind of person? How does it keep non-members out?). Do the same for the discourse community section: how does it operate and cause problems and provide benefits?
Then state your proposal (with the heading titled Proposal). Write your proposal and discuss how you will implement it and why it will work well (multiple paragraphs). Acknowledge counterarguments readers might suggest or potential problems and how you will respond to these arguments or work with these problems.
Incorporate your research throughout your paper (use research to support each section). Find sources to support your discussion of the Discourse section, Discourse Community section, and the Proposal section; the sources do not need to speak explicitly about each section; they can provide support by speaking to the theme or topic of the section. How do your sources represent your discourse community? Why? How have other organizations or people discussed these id ...

Proposal for Discourse and Discourse Community Project
4-5 Body pages, 200 points
Due on BB by 11:59 p.m. on B.B. on Thursday, September 6
Write a proposal for a specific discourse community. You can start a business; propose an event; propose the creation of an app or videogame; create a new product; or something else intended for your discourse community. Identify your reader (investors, leaders of the discourse community, other?) and work to persuade why this proposal will work well and how it will benefit your audience. You will examine the secondary Discourse (identity of the individual member) and discourse community to understand how to engage these consumers. Then discuss your proposal and how it will engage your target audience (members of the discourse community). Please provide a Title Page, the Body of the proposal (contains the different sections), and a References (APA format) or Works Cited (MLA format) page. Please place the page number centered at the bottom of each page. Please consult sample on Blackboard. Use business block format to write this proposal document.
A Discourse, according to James Paul Gee, is an identity we learn through enculturation and perform through language, thinking, and action. A discourse community, according to John Swales, shares common goals; ways to participate and exchange information; genres; specialized vocabulary; and master members and novitiates.

I have used this in my professional communications and social media courses, but the content may be adapted to other courses as well. Let me know how your students may enjoy it and if you have any questions!
As part of my agency work at Media Touch, I used to run demos and events for food and health brands. This is an example of an informal short report for a client at the Epic Sustainable Living Expo. Our food safe certified, and social media trained ambassadors hosted the client's booth at the event. We provided this short report and photos to the client who was happy with the results and turn out.
Take note of how this report includes a combination of statistical and non statistical graphics, including tables, photos, screenshots, and quotes.
This is an example of a social media progress report in the form of a presentation for a client (AutoStitch Panorama) I worked with a while ago.
Since then, the client has been acquired by Google. Although this report is over a decade ago, and some of the tools are no longer relevant, it serves as a good visual example of the structure of a social media progress report, and what clients expect. Clients want to see highlights in the form of data AND insights -- they also care about growth. Having a balance of qualitative and quantitative data is always a good idea.
This is something I have used in my business communication and digital marketing / social media courses.
This is a social media audit I did years ago with my agency Media Touch for a hotel client in Qatar. While this was done a few years ago, and some of the tools may no longer be relevant, the approach/process is still useful for learning how to do a social media audit for any organization. Feel free to use this in your classes.

As part of my work with Elevator Strategy (Agency of Record), I had the opportunity develop the social strategy for Toyota's regional account (Toyota BC).
In order to grow BC Truck sales and market share, I developed an influencer strategy with focus on key BC niche communities; e.g. mountain biking, kayaking etc.
In each community, we partnered up with extreme sports athletes and other influencers (who were existing Toyota owners) to grow engagement, purchase intent and ultimately sales.
This influencer program (in tandem with other programs) has allowed Toyota BC to develop a strong footprint in some key profitable BC wide Truck communities (overlooked by competitors).
As a result, Toyota BC has experienced some of the highest Truck sales in history.
In 2016, the Toyota Tacoma (Toyota's flagship small pick up) experienced a 16.7% sales increase, which boosted its market share to 56.3% of small pick-ups (highest in Canada).

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.
