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
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

7. Competitive forces
• In perfect competition, firms work in a no risk
environment, with equal shares in the
market, and equal profits
• But in the real world, there is no perfect
competition, only oligopoly or monopolistic
competition,
• Businesses have to face different types of
competition risks, affects their market size and
profits
• SWOT analysis –
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and
Threats

8. Porter’s - Five Forces
• Porter: to diagnose the principal competitive
pressures in a market and assess its strength
and importance to the firm.
• He identifies five forces that affect the
competitive structure of firms.
• The five forces are external forces that impact
on a company’s ability to compete in a given
market.

10. 1. Rivalry among firms: cut throat
competition, oligopoly, high fixed costs, no product
differentiation.
2. Threat of new entrants: low barriers to
entry, government licensing policy, economies of
scale, expected retaliation.
3. Bargaining power of buyers: monopsony, consumers’
knowledge, undifferentiated products (no brand
loyalty)
4. Bargaining power of suppliers: supplies from few
firms, vertical integration, few or no substitutes.
Influences input prices (oil)
5. Threat of substitute products: rivals develop
substitutes, technology, adv campaigns

17. Consumer protection
• In Economics, consumers are
supposed to have full knowledge of
the product.
• Is there Consumer’s Sovereignty?
• Unscrupulous business – can sell
unsafe, substandard, dangerous
products.
• Incorrect advertisements forcing
consumer’s to buy their products.
• Consumers have no bargaining power.
• Both international and national
policies to protect consumers and
educate them.
17
18. International Forum for Consumers
• International’s Charter of Consumer Rights (UN
1982), to be implemented by governments.
• Eight rights
1. Right to basic needs - Food, clothing, shelter, health
care, education, water and sanitation
2. Right to safety – in consumption, lead in toys, Bt fruits
and vegetables,
3. Right to information – inputs, expiry
dates, reactions, impacts, technology
4. Right to choice – safer and healthier substitutes
18
19. 4. Right to be heard – through media, courts,
5. Right to redress – compensation – health effects
6. Right to education – about product, what it
contains, how it impacts consumers,
7. Right to healthy environment – environmental
safety, protection.
19
20. Consumer Protection Act, 1986
• COPRA : based on UN Guidelines for Consumer
Protection in 1985 recognising the rights of consumers,
• To protect and save consumers from exploitation, from
adulterated, substandard goods and deficient services,
– setting up of consumer protection councils at the central
and state levels,
– Central Consumer Protection Councils (CCPC) and State
Consumer Protection Councils.
– District consumer protection councils.
– National Consumer Policy to ensure that goods and
services are available to consumers at reasonable prices
and acceptable standards of quality.
20
21. Consumer complaints
• A number of NGOs have taken up the cause of
consumer’s complaints :
– International Consumer Rights Protection Council
(ICRPC), Consumer court, Jagoo Party,
However, despite Government policy on consumer rights
and consumer protection, consumers are a helpless lot
in the legal system of India.
The consumer court system of our country is one of the
highly inefficient and impotent systems in the world.
• Years of legal battles (10-15 yrs),
• High costs
• Corrupt bureaucracy,
• Industry power and clout
