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.

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.

2. The Devil's Playground
•Plan
Setting: Classroom, The school but make it an asylum. Budget-£60
Characters Jamel , Makarov, Tyrone , Paul.
Duration: 9-13 minutes.
Target Audience: 14-16 year olds, teenagers.
Message: Enforce the message to the teengaers safety around strangers.
3. The Devil’s Playground
Cody’s Idea: It begins with Aaron (Tyrone) messaging a person that he
thinks is a girl when it’s truly his teacher. He has a class with his Teacher
in an awkward way that makes Aaron (Tyrone) and the Audience feel
uncomfortable then it ends. His leaving class and then he gets confronted
by the teacher once again that helps him up (teacher is stalking him) He
gets confronted once again in the toilet before the end of school in an
awkward way. Next day aaron is hanging around enjoying life, but you
see it from the teacher’s POV because his stalking him and ends up
coming from behind him saying his name and stabbing him in the heart
and it ends. We chose Idea 1
4. The Devil’s Playground
Ilya’s Idea 2 Idea : My idea of our presentation is about 4 students that know
each other from school and it is the last day of school, they all decide to meet
each other outside of school on the weekend but one by one they suddenly
vanish in thin air. The last one to go has to figure out how to rescue them from
whatever is taking them.
6. Devil’s Playground Cody’s Idea 3
Cody 2nd idea -They was a boy talking to someone online but he didn't ever really speak about it to his friends only
mentioned it a couple times but they didn't take much notice but then the boy went missing when he was 15 year old that is
now 17 present day that has been for 2 years people just think they died but then they come back to their house like
nothing happened everyone is asking questions of where he have been his 3 friends are hanging with him he seems normal
until they mention how he got lost then he blacks out and he wakes up in his friend bed with his 3 friends around him he
gets up and runs out the house to his the friends ask and he shares what happened he says he was taken by a man that
was not normal he would take his blood for a unknown reason the guy escaped the place he was captive in but found he
didn't know where he was he said it looked like an abandoned place really run down no life living there then he decided to
walk out the place to find a person to speak to he later found a guy with a car that guy gave him a hitch hike then he asked
where he was and the guy said ukraine but the teenager is from uk so he wondered how he was kidnapped from uk then
traveled to ukraine, that's the mystery a couple days pass and he is settling into home again but then he starts acting
strange starts to get sick and vomit his mom is getting worried what's going on he starts chanting words that are latin like
satanic words he then passes out at the end it links up that the guy that took him was using his blood for satanic rituals and
that infected the boy the boy gets possessed and dies because any film where someone is possessed they always live. The
setting will be a rough area but not that rough so it will give an edge on the audience and will give out tension.
7. Setting
We could use barkingside as a place to film when the boy comes back from being
missing, the other scene is go on google find an abandoned place near
barkingside to film the scene in.
8. The Devil’s Playground
Mood
The idea of our horror movie is a one we made up what it would be is a sad dark
toned movie because that's how horror movies should be no bright colours
because that shows it's a good mood when it's meant to be a place where people
are sad that their son/friend went missing then maybe you could just add a bit
more colour when he comes back to show there's like some happiness and that
they got him bad but then goes downhill from there
9. Legal Issues
A legal issue would be filming in a private property that would be perfect for the
film but getting the legal permission to film, like using a abandoned place
sometimes it's illegal to be on old properties like that but will not be needed
most likely.
10. The Devil’s
Playground
Evaluation
Pros The pros our idea is one of a kind and it has
the typical elements of a horror genre. The Typical
elements of horror is Blood, Gory Darkness and
Low Key Lighting.
Cons The Cons would be that we would need a
place to film it in so if it’s a private place we would
have to get permission from the owner to use it as a
filming ground.
11. Synopsis
The Synopsis means a brief summary of a subject.
we choose idea 1 and 3, because we want to make it a twist message and it has a
more in depth idea and sounds like the perfect horror movie.
