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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

3. Spain One of the first global empires, Spain became a unified monarchy, the same year that Columbus set sail through the Atlantic ocean. Spain held territories in Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania. In the 15th and 17th centuries, known as the age of exploration, Spain ,as well as many other European countries, began to expand westward taking over lands that belonged to other empires, like the Mexica empire in Mexico.
4. Mexica Empire The Mexica, often referred to as the Aztecs, were the dominant ethnic groups in Mesoamerica between the 14th and 16th centuries. The Mexica Empire was and alliance between the three city states of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan. The Spaniards, along with allies from indigenous tribes, conquered the capital of the Mexica empire, Tenochtitlan, in 1521, ending the last empire of Mesoamerica.
5. The Inca Empire The Inca Empire, or Tawantinsuyu as they were known in their own language, were an ethnic group that controlled a large portion of western South America. They began as fairly small tribe in their future capital of Cusco in the 12th century and began to expand in the early/mid 15th century with the conquering of the area surrounding the Andes Mountain.. In 1532, having received the approval of the queen of Spain to conquer the Incas, Francisco Pizarro began his conquest, a job made easier because of the tactical superiority of the Spaniards and the weakened state of the empire.
6. The Portuguese Empire The Portuguese Empire, which lasted for 6 centuries, was the first global European empire. Between 1580 and 1640, Portugal and Spain were joined, but ruled separately. Since the empire were now on, it became subject to attacks from three other European empires. The Portuguese empire finally collapsed with the transfer of Macau’s sovereignty to China on December 20, 1999
7. Colonial Brazil From 1500 to 1815, brazil was under the control of the Portuguese. Brazil was declared independent of the Portuguese empire in 1822, as a consequence of the Liberal Revolution of 1820. Brazil was an important economic source because of brazilwood, later sugar, and eventually gold. Unlike the Spanish territories to the north, the former Portuguese colony kept all the territory it had before it gained its independence.
9. England At the height of its power, the English empire was the largest of all the European Empires that existed at the time. It was once said that “the sun never sets on the English empire” because of the sheer size of the empire ensured that the sun was out on at least one of the many areas under its control. In 1997, the English empire gave up Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China “ending the empire”
11. France The French Empire, at the height of its power, was the second most powerful empire, behind the English Empire. Due to the empire’s power, French has become a widely spoken language, despite not keeping many colonial territories. The French were unable to keep many colonies because of the, more powerful, Spanish and English empires.
12. The French in North America Despite owning a large portion of the land in America, France was unable to keep too many colonies under their power because of the monopolies held by other empires. Until 1605, France had not yet become a major colonial empire. Port Royal, in Acadia, what is now Canada. The French empire began to fall apart during WWII, when other nations occupied areas under French control. Later conflicts with French and foreign territories would help end French control of their colonies.
13. The Dutch and New Netherland New Netherland (1609-1667), as well as New Sweden, was established by the Dutch and was able to survive so long because of the neglect of the area by the English. The English king, King Charles II, later saw this area as important in increasing the wealth of the crown, and at the same time decreasing the power of the Dutch empire. The areas that were once part of New Netherland are now parts of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut. The capital was New Amsterdam, shown on the map as being on the southern tip of New York, would later be known as New York city
