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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
**This slide can be moved to a different point in the presentation (personal preference). Preparing for college might mean shifting expenses and making choices (ex: downgrade to a cheaper car, shift other bills). Be realistic with yourself and your student! Talk to your student about what you can afford! (Ask how many people have had a conversation with their student about what they can realistically afford to pay toward college.)
(Percentages roughly based on IFAP parent income protection allowance.)
[Animations – 3 clicks: 1=merit/need, 2=leadership/community service, 3=talents/athletics/drama/music]
Explain a little bit about the different types of scholarships. Many scholarships require a mix of all the above categories. Obviously these are some of the main types – there are others out there, ex: religion, ethnicity, military, etc.
My.EducationQuest.org is hyperlinked if during your presentation you have time to clink on the link. This is optional based on time allowed.
Beware of anything asking for money or very personal information (i.e. SSN, mother’s maiden name, bank account numbers, etc.). You should never pay for a scholarship.
Make sure not to say “free money.” (It’s not technically free, it’s someone’s tax dollars.) Instead, use “money you don’t repay,” or “gift money.”
[Animations – 1 click=Note]
Don’t need to explain difference between dependent & independent here (will do so later). Main point of this slide is to bring attention to the fact that there are limits on the federal Stafford loans, and students won’t be able to borrow as much as they may want in order to cover costs. Point out that as an independent student, they can borrow a bit more, but most high schools students will be considered dependent (click to bring up Note as explaining this).
[Animations – 2 clicks: 1=all scholarship application bubbles, 2=FAFSA screenshot]
This slide is meant to be a quick visual/explanation to point out that students will fill out multiple applications for scholarships, and just one application (FAFSA) for grants, work-study, and loans. May mention some colleges require other paperwork (ex: CSS profile) or other institutional forms.
(Obviously, to actually get loans disbursed they will have to complete MPN, but don’t need to discuss that here.)
[Animations – 5 clicks: 1=arrow/FAFSA, 2=arrow/Processor, 3=diagonal arrows/SAR/College/Student, 4=arrow pointing right/Award Letter, 5=arrow pointing left/Award Letter]
Give a general overview of each step here; most of them will be discussed in greater detail in the proceeding slides. However, this is the only slide that mentions the Central Processing System. Also, highlight the Student Aid Report (SAR) here. Talk about receiving it either in the postal mail or electronically, a confirmation summary for students, may need it for certain scholarships.
[Animation is automatic – no clicks necessary. (Red circle, underline, and arrows.)]
Both parent and student need one
This is just a brief overview of the FAFSA – don’t need to take more than a minute on this slide. Much of it will be discussed on the following slides.
[Animations – 2 clicks: 1=minus sign/EFC bubble/green arrow/green box, 2=equals sign/Financial Need bubble/orange arrow/orange box]
Main point of slide is to explain the formula. The boxes under each section are a description of that part of the formula. The COE part is mostly review since we already went over that earlier. The green box is some review and some new information, but not much more detail is needed to explain it. The orange box will probably need the most explanation.
[Animations – 5 clicks: 1=resources box, 2=calculators, 3=college funding estimator, 4=FAFSA checklist 2013-14**, 5=FAFSA tools]
Calculators: Award letter comparison
College Funding Estimator: estimate results of the FAFSA any time with current tax info
FAFSA tools: demo, tutorial, video, podcasts, steps to renew
**Once the checklist for the 2013-14 school year is available we will add that to the resource list and update this slide
