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.

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
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.

1. THE FIRST 5 PRESIDENTS:
THOMAS JEFFERSON (#3)
SSUSH6c
2. THOMAS JEFFERSON
• Thomas Jefferson led the nation's Democratic-Republican Party and was a vocal critic of
the Federalists' push for a stronger central government at the expense of the states.
• Once Jefferson was elected President in the contentious election of 1800, he was
responsible for defending and leading the nation toward prosperity. Although his
political philosophy leaned toward a de-centralized federal government, he actually
expanded the power of the presidency during his two terms in office.
• Jefferson was the first President to take the oath of office in the new national capital in
Washington, DC. He tried to set a simplistic tone for his presidency by having a more
informal inauguration without much fanfare.
• Jefferson did highlight the need for the country’s political divisions to heal and for both
political parties to move forward. A famous line from Jefferson’s first inaugural speech is,
“We are all Republicans – we are all Federalists.” Jefferson served two terms as
President of the United States, during which he dealt with many domestic and foreign
policy issues.
3. STRICT CONSTRUCTION OF THE
CONSTITUTION
• An area of conflict between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans was
how to appropriately interpret the Constitution.
• Democratic-Republicans, like Thomas Jefferson, believed in strict construction of the
Constitution.
• Supporters of strict construction believe that the Constitution must be interpreted
by the literal content of the document.
• Only powers explicitly listed in the Constitution are allowed to be claimed by the
federal government.
• This narrow interpretation of the Constitution restricts the power of the federal
government and preserves more power for the states.
4. LOOSE INTERPRETATION OF THE
CONSTITUTION
• In contrast, Federalists supported loose construction of the Constitution.
• This approach to constitutional interpretation claims that there are implied powers
granted to the federal government in the Constitution.
• These powers may not be explicitly listed but are still granted to the federal
government through the “elastic clause” in Article 1 of the Constitution.
• The clause grants Congress the power to pass all laws which shall be “necessary and
proper” for carrying out the business of the government.
• Federalists argued that this vague wording purposely left implied powers to the
government in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
• The Democratic-Republicans opposed such unrestricted power. While Jefferson
ideologically was a strong advocate of strict construction, his actions as president, in
some ways, practiced loose construction.
5. THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
• The purchase of the Louisiana territory from France is an example of Thomas
Jefferson’s expansion of presidential power through loose construction- even though
he claimed to be a strict constructionist.
• Louisiana was originally a part of New France. However, the region had been
subject to much transition and had changed hands several times. At the time of
Jefferson’s election, Louisiana was ruled by Spain but was home to many American
merchants and farmers.
• In 1800, the territory changed hands again when the French general, Napoleon
Bonaparte, retrieved Louisiana from Spain.
• New Orleans was the key port in the region and was an important outlet of
American farm goods produced in the Ohio River Valley..
6. THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
• President Jefferson sent Robert Livingston and James Monroe to France to inquire
about the purchase of New Orleans for the United States in order to secure a
permanent port on the Mississippi River.
• Napoleon, seeing an opportunity to finance his ongoing conflicts in Europe and a
way to keep the British from expanding in North America, agreed to sell the entire
region, not just the port at New Orleans, to the United States for $15 million.
• Livingston and Monroe had been prepared to pay up to $10 million for just New
Orleans.
• The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States. Through this deal,
lands critical for future expansion were acquired and the United States had secured
the port at New Orleans to export American goods abroad.
8. THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
• Nowhere in the Constitution is the President given the power to purchase land from
another country.
• Jefferson entered the presidency as a strict constructionist, but his purchase of
Louisiana was an action beyond the provisions of the Constitution. The Louisiana
Purchase is an example of how Thomas Jefferson expanded the power of the presidency
as the Constitution makes no provision for this type of presidential action.
• With the acquisition of approximately 875,000 square miles of new land, gathering
information about the region and the opportunities it might offer to Americans was
important to Thomas Jefferson.
• More settlers were moving to the Ohio River Valley in the Northwest Territory by 1800.
• Jefferson had sensed that the destiny of the nation was tied to the Mississippi River
Valley. Jefferson worried that as more people moved to these isolated areas, the
challenges of communicating and trading with the east coast could prompt the areas in
the west to secede from the United States.
9. LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION
• No one was exactly sure what lay between St. Louis and the Pacific Ocean. Jefferson
sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on a government-funded exploration of
Louisiana and the western lands all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
• On their 16-month journey, Lewis and Clark charted the trails west, mapped rivers
and mountain ranges, wrote descriptions and collected samples of unfamiliar
animals and plants, and recorded facts and figures about the various American
Indian tribes and customs west of the Mississippi River.
• Most significantly, Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean and established a
legal claim to the Oregon territory along the Columbia River. This claim allowed for
the future expansion of the United States to the Pacific Ocean.
• The Lewis and Clark expedition and subsequent claim to the Oregon territory were
not presidential powers listed in the Constitution. This is another example of the
strict constructionist President’s actions falling in line with the loose constructionist
ideology.
10. MARBURY V. MADISON
• In particular, the Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court decision was issued during
Jefferson’s tenure.
• This ruling was critical in shifting power from the states to the federal judicial
branch regarding the interpretation of laws – established Judicial Review.
• Judicial Review gives the Supreme court to determine if a law is constitutional or
unconstitutional.
• Jefferson, who had supported the states’ right to nullify a federal law through the
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, was opposed to this shift in power.
• Another topic that could be introduced concerning Jefferson’s presidency would be
his use of the military to stop the Barbary Pirates in North Africa from extorting
payments from US ships as they passed through the Mediterranean Sea.
11. PRESIDENCY OF THOMAS JEFFERSON
• Jefferson was also faced with mounting international pressure as France and Great
Britain were once again at war.
• American ships and sailors were being harassed by both warring nations as the US
sought to boost trade with Europe.
• The issue of the impressment of US merchant sailors weighed heavily on Jefferson
who wanted to avoid war.
• His implementation of an embargo was an attempt to put economic pressure on the
British in order to force them to not interfere with American ships or sailors.
• Having students investigate Jefferson’s foreign policy efforts to deal with the
growing conflict with Britain will help them to better understand the causes of the
War of 1812 that breaks out during James Madison’s administration.
