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 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.

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.

13. Veganuary Environmental Impacts
• Article: http://www.veganuary.com/why/environmental-
benefits/youll-protect-nature/
• Summary: The page highlights the environmental benefits of
veganism, by putting the land used in the meat industry to other,
more beneficial uses, and not having the need to destroy any more
forests.
• Quote: “Agricultural scientists estimate that eating meat requires
four-and-a-half times more land than is necessary for a vegan diet.”
• Reliability: The article makes use of sources throughout the page,
with many pieces of information being annotated with a source (the
references this information is sourced from being listed at the
bottom of the page) which certainly makes the article seem much
more reliable and accurate.

14. Water Usage
• Article page:
http://www.veganuary.com/why/envir
onmental-benefits/youll-save-water/
• Summary: The article explains how
excessive amounts of water are used
as a part of the meat industry, and
how a vegan diet will use significantly
less. This image is featured as an
infographic elaborating this point.
• Sources:

• Reliability: The sources for the
information in the image date back to
2011 and 2014 respectively, and thus
their information is each over a year
old. It is unlikely that these statistics
have change much in this time, but it
is possible that more accurate
research may have been taken in this
time. However, the information having
sources a tall allows it more credence
and reliability.

15. Farm Animal Population
• Article:
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/19/popula
tion-crisis-farm-animals-laying-waste-to-planet
• Summary: An article looking at farm animal population issue, and
environmental factors as a result of it, contrasting it to the attention
surrounding the human over-population issue.
• Quotes: “A recent paper in the journal Science of the Total
Environment suggests that our consumption of meat is likely to be
“the leading cause of modern species extinctions”.”
• Reliability: The article is fairly recent, with the date it was posted
(19th of November, 2015) posted clearly on the article, making it
close to two months old. The article has a variety of links to the
sources of it’s information posted throughout the paragraphs.

16. Protecting Wildlife
• Article page: http://www.veganuary.com/why/environmental-
benefits/youll-save-wildlife/
• Summary: The article explains how the meat industry has a serious
negative impact on the status of the world’s wildlife
• Quote: “1 lb beef = 200 sq m of rainforest destroyed.”
• Source:
http://www.rainforestconcern.org/rainforest_facts/why_are_they_being_
destroyed/
• Reliability: The article features numerous sources, which annotate various
segments of information, and therefore make the article much more
trustworthy and credible. Most of the sources, however, were last
assessed over a year ago, which may mean the information provided in
them could be out of date and potentially inaccurate. The article seems to
be fairly fact based and focuses on the information to state it’s point,
rather than being too based in opinion and personal feeling.

18. Nutrition
• Link: http://www.veganuary.com/why/nutritional-benefits/
• Summary: A page consisting of a vast variety of nutritional information,
giving advice on how to keep a healthy, nutritious lifestyle while following
a vegan diet. The information is broken up into different sub-pages
focusing on specific nutrients
• Quote: “It is worth noting that it is high-calorie and high-protein foods
that give you that full feeling. Simply removing animal products from a
standard diet could leave you with mostly low-calorie foods such as salads,
vegetables, and fruit. Eating only these foods could quickly leave you
feeling hungry and weak. Some people make this mistake and then feel
that being vegan is a challenge.”
• Reliability: Most of the information seems to be accurate, but there are
few sources used throughout the pages, and most of them seem to direct
the reader to another section of the website to elaborate further on
information provided. This helps to make information clearer and more
understandable, but it lacks for actual outside sources that may make the
information look more reliable.
