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.

2. INTRODUCTION
In this PowerPoint, I will be looking at two film organisations, and
explaining the difference in publically and commercially funded films.
I have chosen to look at 20th Century Fox and Film4, as they are both
well established film production studios.
Film4 is publically owned by Channel 4, which is commercially
funded. 20th Century Fox is privately funded, and is part of a large
media conglomerate.
3. 20TH CENTURY FOX & FILM 4
20th century fox:
20th century fox film corporation is an
American film studio owned by Fox
entertainment.
One of the ‘big six’ American film
studios.
Fox Film Corporation is owned by the
media conglomerate 21st Century Fox,
which merged in 1935 to create 20th
Century Fox.
Provides 8 services, 6 of which being
digital entertainment divisions, and
including a radio/music station, which
deals primarily with film music and
soundtracks.
Film 4:
Film 4 is a British free-to-air
television channel, owned by
Channel 4 television corporation.
It was first launched in 1998 as
a public Freeview channel.

independent broadcasting
authority (IBA).
Its standard-definition channel
is available as an FTA (free-trade
area) network, its high-definition
variant is offered as a ‘pay
television’ service (subscription).
4. STRUCTURE OF 20TH CENTURY FOX
20th Century Fox Film Corporation is a subsidiary of Fox Incorporated,
which is owned by Rupert Murdoch. It produced some of the bigger
box office hits like ‘Star Wars’ and is now expanding into related
areas of entertainment through their separate divisions, such as Fox
Animation.
Through the separate division, Fox incorporated has a total of 2300
employees, but only 360 for 20th Century Fox.
The 360 employees of 20th Century Fox are responsible for their own
jobs – the bigger people (such as directors/producers) are
responsible for the larger decisions.
A total of $1.2 billion sales have been made by 20th Century Fox since
1996.
5. STRUCTURE OF FILM 4
There have been 4 key figures responsible for Channel 4’s film
production (film 4). These people are David Rose, David Aukin, Paul
Webster and Tessa Ross. Their responsibilities include:
- Ensure that Channel 4 keeps its key commitments to promoting
British film culture.
- Preside over film and drama through the changes of the corporate
structure and financing of the channel.
They were also responsible for managing film 4 through the
deregulation of the television industry, and the expansion of the
independent production sector, through the growth of multi-channel
and digital television.
6. PRIVATE OR PUBLIC COMPANY
Film 4:
Film 4 is a public company.
It is owned by the public
owned, commercially funded
public service broadcaster,
Channel 4.
It does not receive public
funding.
It is owned by channel 4,
which is a British self, public
service broadcaster, meaning
the broadcasting is intended
for public benefit, rather than
to serve commercial
interests.
20th Century Fox:
20th Century Fox is a private
company.
They produce and distribute
films in theatres.
The company also sells movies
and television content on DVD’s.
It is a multinational
conglomerate, as it distributes
content internationally.
It is wholly owned by the media
conglomerate 21st Century Fox,
which is partially owned by
Rupert Murdoch.
7. ARE THEY PART OF A LARGER
CONGLOMERATE
20th Century Fox:
20th Century Fox is part of a larger,
multi national conglomerate.
The films that are made in these
studios are distributed by the ones
that make them.
20th Century Fox own companies
across a range of platforms, and
use them to promote and market
their films.
Film 4:
Film 4 is not part of a multi
national conglomerate.

9. PROFITABILITY AND SALES
20th Century Fox:
The company makes money
depending on the success of a
newly released film – the more
successful the film is, the more
the gross profit and revenues
increase. The companies gross
profit margin improved from
2016 to 2017, but then
deteriorated in 2018. From 2016
to 2018, the gross profit margin
increased from $10,197 to
$10,631 million, and revenues
increased from $28,987 to
$30,400 million.
In 2017, The Walt Disney
Company, announced an
agreement to buy 21st Century
Fox for $52.4 billion, but then
increased it to $71.2 billion.
Film4:
Film 4 is a public broadcaster,
meaning it makes most of its
money through advertising. In
2016, the annual report
showed that channel 4’s
revenues had rapidly grown.
The revenues totalled to £995
million, compared with £979
million the previous year.

11. HORIZONTALLY OR VERTICALLY
INTEGRATED
Horizontal integration is when a conglomerate uses smaller, independent
companies to help with the marketing and distribution of a film,
Vertical integration is the use of all media conglomerates companies to
produce, market and distribute the film and all of the official merchandise.
20th Century Fox is vertically integrated, as it uses all of its platforms (e.g. –
21st century fox, fox incorporated etc.) to promote the film. 20th Century Fox
produced big budget studio films, so has the resources to be a part of a larger
media conglomerate to promote and distribute the film.
Film4 is horizontally integrated, as it uses smaller, more independent
conglomerates to promote and market the film and they usually produce
smaller, ‘kitchen sink’ style productions. However, Film4 is also vertically
integrated as they sometimes will synergise with a bigger conglomerate to
make a big production studio film, such as ‘12 years a slave’, and use the
bigger conglomerates, like 20th Century Fox, to market the film.
