Green Funds 2.0 Nitty Gritty Of Campus Sustainability Fund ManagementMieko Ozeki
prepared by Mieko Ozeki, Katherine Walsh (UC Berkeley), Kevin Ordean (Northern Arizona University), Lilith Wyatt (McGill University), Melody Hartke (North American University), and McKenzie Beverage (University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign) and presented at the AASHE 2012 Conference.
A campus sustainability fund (also called green fund) is money available to campus community members for sustainability projects. Money for the fund may be from student fees, administrative budgets, or alumni donations and funding may be allocated in the form of grants or loans. Currently, there are over 175 green/sustainability funds in North America run by 155 institutions. Our goal as session leaders is to educate our audience beyond the basics of sustainability funds, by adhering to an overall theme of “So you have established a sustainability fund, what next?” We will cover case studies from six well-established sustainability funds and address key differences and patterns in how these funds have evolved in their management and processes.
Topics covered include: 1) strategies for soliciting sustainability projects; 2) criteria for projects: what can and cannot be funded; 3) project implementation plans and long-term support of projects beyond initial funding; 4) sustainability fund staffing and committee structures; 5) advising project leaders; and 6) and quantifying and reporting the metrics of funded projects.
Session leaders will break the 60–minute session into three 20-minute sections: (1) project solicitation and developing selection criteria with committees and staff; (2) project implementation, advising project leaders, and reporting structures; and (3) long-term integration of the fund and projects with institutional goals and structures. Each 20-minute section will include presentation from the session leaders and Q&A with the audience. The opening question we plan to answer is “What are we trying to accomplish with these funds?” and the concluding question we plan to answer is “What are the broad educational impacts of sustainability funds?” Post session we intend to create a white paper on best practices of managing a sustainability funds that will include case studies. This workshop is part of a series and a follow-up to Green Funds 1.0: Getting a Fund Started.
Center for Enterprise Innovation (CEI) Summary for HREDA, 9-25-14Marty Kaszubowski
This is a presentation given to the Hampton Roads Economic Development Alliance (HREDA) on 9-25-14. It describes the vision and goals for the new Old Dominion University (ODU) Center for Enterprise Innovation (CEI).
An incredibly powerful and often underutilized resource within business incubation community is the Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Deploying an SBDC analyst with a strong technical education/background as an onsite business counselor in an incubator as well as the development of a jointly-operated student incubator presents a tremendous opportunity to amplify both programs.
This presentation offers insight on how to maximize the impact of both a business incubation program and a Small Business Development Center by establishing a robust partnership between the organizations that benefits of the business and entrepreneurial community.

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

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.

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.
