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

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

GSSD STUDENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT UNDERGOES MAJOR
CHANGES TO BETTER REFLECT STUDENT NEEDS
The Good Spirit School Division Student Services Department, under the guidance of
Mr. Quintin Robertson, Superintendent of Student Services, has undergone restructuring
for the 2011/2012 school year. This reorganization has come about as a result of the
need to provide students with a team-centered, focused commitment in the delivery of
student services supports.
“We have a great team in place throughout the Student Services Department but, after
careful consideration and feedback from our own staff as well as parents over the past
school year, it was determined that we needed to tweak our delivery methods in order to
be the most effective we can be,” states Mr. Robertson. As a result, Professional
Service Providers (PSP’s) throughout the division have been relocated to three
centralized locations in order to promote a team-centered environment and focus on
working with students. Locations include Canora Composite School (North cluster), P.J.
Gillen School in Esterhazy (South cluster) and Yorkton Regional High School (Central
cluster). Each of the clusters include a Student Services Coordinator, Speech-Language
Pathologist, Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant, Educational Psychologist, and
Occupational Therapist; the number of PSP’s in each cluster differs due to varying
staffing requirements in each of the three cluster areas. Student Services also wants to
work more closely with partners in the area of curriculum and, as a result, the division’s
three literacy coaches will be relocating to the Yorkton Regional High School this fall as
well to join the team environment.
Mr. Robertson explains that, “This year, we are focused on communication, collaboration
and capacity building among our professional staff. To enhance these main qualities in
our service delivery, we needed to think differently in how we could do a better job of
serving our students. As a result, the team approach is seen as the best route in which
to accomplish this goal.” With offices now in similar locations, meeting as a team to
discuss student needs and referrals will occur on a more regular basis. This will provide
a hands-on approach in building capacity of our schools as well as enabling efficiencies
in the way in which professional service provider’s work together. As an additional step
to enhance PSP’s ability to deliver current programming requirements, the teams from
each cluster will be strategically attending to each of their respective schools three times
in the upcoming school year to keep abreast of current conditions.
2. “The ultimate goal of this shift is that writing student reports will become a collaborative
effort with PSP’s aware of what is occurring in specific student circumstances. Instead
of three to four reports for an individual student, there will be one report addressing all of
the various aspects of a student’s Personal Program Plan,” declares Mr. Robertson. A
Personal Program Plan (PPP) is a written document developed and implemented by the
Student Services team and contains a compilation of student outcomes that have the
highest priority for the student during the year. “This is the beginning of a long-term
growth goal. We are working to ensure that, where there may currently be multiple
reports on a student’s cumulative file, there will now be one main comprehensive report
clearly evident by all Good Spirit School Division staff working directly with a specific
student.”
As an extension to this exciting change, GSSD recently joined forces with the
Leadership Services Team (through TPM Software) and the Saskatchewan Ministry of
Education to develop software which can take data from multiple sources and insert it
into a student’s Personal Program Plan. This joint project is of great interest in the areas
of incorporating functionality and ease of communication by way of inserting Student
Services data into the MapleWood student software system currently in place division-
wide. This will have a major impact on the classroom teacher’s ability to access up-to-
date information and knowledge of past as well as current plans and reports in place for
individual students.
The Student Services Department works diligently to ensure that services and supports
are comprehensive, integrated and address the needs of the whole child by focusing on
prevention, early intervention and effective transitions.
For further information, contact Mr. Quintin Robertson, Superintendent of Student
Services, at 786-5504.
The Good Spirit School Division provides education opportunities to approximately 5,800
students operating 28 schools in 17 communities throughout East Central Saskatchewan. Caring
for children in a supportive environment is as important as offering excellence in educational
programming. Our public schools value integrity, empathy, growth, equity and loyalty by ensuring
