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 name "Latvia" originates from the ancient Latgalians, one of four eastern
Baltic tribes that formed the ethnic core of the Latvian people (ca. 8th-12th
centuries A.D.).
The region subsequently came under the control of Germans, Poles, Swedes
and Russians.
Latvia is relatively new national state, founded on 18 November, 1918. It was
annexed by the Soviet Union in 1940 and regained its independence in 1991.

5.
6. Pre-school and early childhood care
It became mandatory for five- and six-year-old children.
The objective of pre-school education is to foster the overall development of
children and to prepare them to enter the primary stage of basic general
education.
It is provided by various pre-primary education institutions, kindergartens
(nurseries) or at special pre-primary classes at general education institutions.
Pre-school education is considered the first stage of general education and all
children should complete it by the age of 7.
In special cases where a child suffers from certain health or psychological
problems, based on either parental request or doctors’ recommendations, pre-
school education can be continued until the age of 8.
The entire teaching process is organised through playing various targeted games.
7. Basic (Primary and Lower Secondary)
education
Children in Latvia are obliged by law to attend school from the year when
they turn seven till the age of 16.
Primary grades 1-4,
Lower secondary grades 5 – 9
Compulsory curriculum includes 4 subject areas: Introduction to technologies
and science; Languages; Art; Man and society.
After finishing basic education, most young people continue their education
at upper secondary level in general upper secondary school, while about a
fourth attends technical and further education schools.
8. General upper secondary education
Lasts for three years (grade 10-12).
A school year is 35 weeks in 10-11 grade and 38 weeks in grade 12 with not
more than 36 lessons per week and 8 lessons per day.
The compulsory curriculum of 3-year general upper secondary schools is
determined by the National Standard in the four standardised educational
profiles:
(1) comprehensive education, without intensive teaching of any particular
subjects;
(2) the humanities and social sciences programme;
(3) the mathematics, natural science and technical science programme;
(4) the vocational programme, where the general education curriculum places
emphasis on subjects in these particular fields.
9. Special education
Special education schools or special education
classes within general education schools provide
education for children with special needs that
correspond to each individual’s physical and mental
condition.
The structure of special education is very similar to
that of the mainstream education, providing
opportunities for persons with special needs to
attain general knowledge and skills with a 5 strong
emphasis on their applicability, thus facilitating
social inclusion.
10. Schools and other educational
establishments
Day schools
Evening schools
Special schools
Elementary schools (Grades1-4)
Primary schools (Grades 5-9)
Secondary (grades 10-12)
Vocational schools and colleges (Vocational education)
Universities, institutes and academies (Higher education)
11. Vocational and Further Education
The National Standard of Vocational Education and the Occupational
Standards determine the curriculum content of vocational education
programmes. Practical training on-the-job comprises at least 20-25% of
studies.
The theoretical part provides the knowledge needed in modern society:
languages, mathematics, natural sciences and social studies, communication
skills, etc.
Standards and sample curricula are developed in cooperation with
professional associations representing different economic sectors.
Based on the relevant standarts and sample programmes, schools develop
their own training programmes in accordance with the needs of the local
labour market.
12. Vocational and training and upper secondary
vocational education programmes
Provide training in simple trades for pupils who have not finished compulsory nine-
year basic education by the age of 16. By successfully completing this educational
programme, the pupil obtains a basic education certificate and may go on to
upper secondary education.
The aim of this form of education is to prevent marginalisation of pupils facing
social risk.
Vocational education programmes lasting two or three years provide theoretical
and practical knowledge required for a skilled worker. On completing such a
vocational education programme, the student has not obtained a full upper
secondary education.
Upper secondary vocational education programmes lasting four years provide much
wider theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This is a full secondary education
programme, so the school-leaver is entitled to enter higher education.
13. Higher education
Latvia has two sorts of higher education programmes – academic and
professional. Such a division of higher education allows the student to choose
either research or professional activity in the future.
Professional higher education is divided into two levels. First level
professional higher education programmes lasting 2-3 years after upper
secondary education are provided by Colleges.
Second level professional higher education programmes last at least four
years after upper secondary education or two years after acquiring Bachelor’s
degree (3-year studies).
These programmes, as well as higher academic education programmes are
offered at universities or non-university-type higher education institutions.
14. Adult and non-formal education
Adult education in Latvia is supported by the principle of lifelong education.
Different types of further education and training are offered to persons after
graduating from general upper secondary or 2-3 year vocational education and
training programs.
These programs are focused on mastering professional skills and knowledge in line
with the requirements of the respective qualification level.
The training process and assessment of achievements are organised in a similar
manner as in vocational secondary education and training programs.
Labour market training for the unemployed accounts for the largest number of
participants in the adult education sector.
Employment authorities provide a wide range of labour market training mainly
targeted at unemployed adults.
Adults can follow a complete programme of basic education or upper secondary
education at evening schools.
