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.
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.
1. Summary of VA Benefits for
National Guard and Reserve
Members and Veterans
2. As a member of the National Guard
or Reserve you may qualify for
a wide range of benefits offered
by the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA). VA is here to help
you and your family understand
the benefits for which you may
be eligible and how to apply for
them. VA benefits include disability
compensation, pension, home loan
guaranty, education, health care,
insurance, vocational rehabilitation
and employment, and burial.
Active Guard Reserve (AGR) Program supports
and enhances the mobilization readiness of the
Reserve components. The AGR includes both
National Guard (Title 32) and Reserve members
(Title 10) who serve full-time. National Guard
members may establish eligibility for certain
VA benefits by performing full-time duty under
either Title 32 or Title 10.
QUALIFYING SERVICE IN THE NATIONAL
GUARD AND RESERVE
Generally, all National Guard and Reserve members
discharged or released under conditions that are
not dishonorable are eligible for some VA benefits.
The length of your service, service commitment
and/or your duty status may determine your
eligibility for specific benefits.
Active Service. Eligibility requirements for several
VA benefits include a certain length of active
service. Active service in the National Guard or
Reserve includes:
»» Active duty (Title 10) - full-time duty in the
Armed Forces, such as unit deployment during
war, including travel to and from such duty,
except active duty for training, OR
»» Full-time National Guard duty (Title 32) – duty
performed for which you are entitled to receive pay
from the Federal government, such as responding
to a national emergency or performing duties as an
Active Guard Reserve (AGR) member
A state or territory’s governor may activate
National Guard members for State Active Duty,
such as in response to a natural or man-made
disaster. State Active Duty is based on state law
and does not qualify as “active service” for VA
benefits. Unlike full-time National Guard duty,
National Guard members on State Active Duty are
paid with state funds as opposed to Federal funds.

Go to eBenefits at www.ebenefits.va.gov,

3. Traditional Service. Traditional National Guard
and Reserve members typically serve one weekend

members may become eligible for some VA benefits
by fulfilling a service commitment. Eligibility for
disability compensation requires that a disability
was the result of an injury or disease incurred or
aggravated in the line of duty during active duty or
active duty for training. For inactive duty training,
the disability must have resulted from injury, heart
attack, or stroke. Other benefit programs require a
specified number of days of active service.
Technician Service. Military technicians are
civilian employees of the Department of the Army
or Department of the Air Force who are required
to maintain membership in the National Guard or
Reserve in order to retain employment. Similar to
traditional National Guard and Reserve members,
military technicians are normally in a military status
one weekend a month and two weeks a year,
and are eligible for some VA benefits. They may
establish eligibility for additional benefits based
on the length of Guard, Reserve, or active service.
VA BENEFITS
Disability Compensation. Disability
compensation is a monthly tax-free benefit
paid to Veterans who are at least 10%
disabled because of injuries or diseases
that were incurred or aggravated during
active duty or active duty for training.
Pension. VA pension is a tax-free benefit
paid to Veterans with limited income and
net worth who served during a wartime
period (see the FAQ section for a list of
wartime periods). Generally, you must have
90 days or 24 months of active service

preserve, or restore your health.
Eligibility for VA health care requires that
you served on active duty by a Federal
order and completed the full period for
which you were called or ordered. If you
served on active duty in a theater of
combat operations after November 11,
1998, you are eligible for free VA health

benefit eligibility for non-combat Veterans,
or those with combat service prior to
November 11, 1998. Learn more at
www.va.gov/healthbenefits.
Vet Centers. VA assists combat Veterans through
a nationwide network of community-based
Vet Centers. Counselors provide individual,
group, and family readjustment counseling
to help with the transition to civilian life, treat
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and help
with any other issues related to military service.
Other services include: outreach, education,
medical referral, homeless Veteran services,
employment, and VA benefit referral.
Burial. VA offers burial and memorial
services to honor our Nation’s deceased
Veterans. For example:
»» VA can furnish an inscribed headstone or
marker at any cemetery, or a medallion in
lieu of a headstone, or marker to affix to
one that is privately purchased

allowance to partially reimburse the burial
and funeral costs of a Veteran

Certificate (PMC) for the next of kin and
loved ones of a deceased Veteran

Eligibility for burial benefits requires that
you served on active duty, or that your

that developed or was aggravated during
active duty, active duty for training, or
inactive duty for training.
Insurance. VA’s life insurance programs

mind to you and your family, especially
considering the risks involved in military
service. Eligible Servicemembers and
Veterans pay relatively low monthly
premiums for coverage, which vary by
insurance program. You are automatically
insured under full-time Servicemembers’
Group Life Insurance (SGLI) as either a:
»» Member of the Ready Reserve or National
Guard who is scheduled to perform at least
12 periods of inactive training per year, OR
»» Servicemember who volunteers for a
mobilization category in the Individual
Ready Reserve (IRR)
Part-time coverage is also available to
National Guard and Reserve members
who do not meet the inactive training
requirement above, but do perform duty
at specific times.
6. You qualify for Veterans’ Group Life
Insurance (VGLI) if you are a:
