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.
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.

WWI part 2
1.
2. The Home Front, 1917-1918
To fight the war, Pres. Wilson was
given wide powers by Congress.
To solve the problem of a lack of
military personnel the U.S. Congress
passed the Selective Service Act
(aka the draft), the draft put about 3
million men into uniform.
But, because of Supreme Court
ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson,
African Americans served in
segregated units.
3. The Home Front, 1917-1918
Women & African Americans
would play a vital role in the war as
millions of men left their jobs to fight
the war.
African Americans were not
allowed to fight in the AEF, but did
serve under French leaders. (American
Expeditionary Force)
The efforts of women in the
workplace helped them gain
support for suffrage.
4. The Home Front, 1917-1918
Almost 2 million men would serve in
Europe.
The cost of the war, about $30 billion,
was paid for with increased taxes and
the sale of war bonds.
Propaganda would play an important
role in the war.
All resources were mobilized turning
the conflict into a ‘total war’.
5.
6. The Home Front, 1917-1918
During the war, civil liberties
were violated to meet wartime
needs.
The Espionage Act (1917) made
it a crime to criticize the war.
This violated American’s civil
rights, like the 1st
Amendment
and freedom of speech.
Over 6,000 Americans were
arrested under these acts.
7. Heroes of the War
Gen. John J. Pershing
Gen. Pershing was selected to
lead the AEF which was the
American Expeditionary Force.
Pershing was a decorated war
veteran who refused to send
American troops into battle until
they were well trained.
This led to fewer deaths and the
love and respect of his men.
8. Heroes of the War
Alvin York
•Alvin York represented the typical draftee in
World War 1, he was underprivileged and
uneducated.
•In the Battle of Argonne Forest, Sgt. York
singlehandedly was responsible for killing 25
Germans and capturing 132 prisoners of war.
•He earned the Congressional Medal of Honor
for his heroism.
9. Battle of Argonne Forest
One of the greatest battles of the war was fought in the
Argonne Forest of northeastern France.
Germany had spent years fortifying this hilly, forested area
surrounded with barbed wire, land mines, concrete
barriers, tanks and machine guns.
Gen. Pershing led 600,000 men against all odds and
succeeded into breaking through the German lines in this
final and most important battle the American
Expeditionary Force fought.
10. Wilson’s Fourteen Points
Pres. Wilson broadened the war
aims from a defense of ‘freedom
of the seas’ to a crusade of
making the world ‘safe for
democracy’.
In January of 1918, Pres. Wilson
made a speech to Congress
called the “Fourteen Points”.
The speech outlined a plan for
world peace.
11. Wilson’s Fourteen Points
The Fourteen Points
Major European nationalities would be given right of self-
determination about their own country and governments.
Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire would be
divided into smaller nations.
Wilson called for a reduction in arms, removal of trade
barriers, and an end to secret diplomacy.
The most important of all to Wilson was his plan
called the “League of Nation”, an organization to
mediate international disputes to avoid war.
12. The League of Nations
Pres. Wilson campaigned across America and
with European leaders to gain support for his
League of Nations plan.
But, Americans were not interested in giving
others the power to decide whether the USA
would go to war or not.
European leaders argued with Wilson, because
they wanted a harsher punishment on Germany
than he did.
Wilson’s plan was in jeopardy.
Germany
must pay
I agree
What
about
my
plan ?
13. The Treaty of Versailles
Germany, exhausted by the war,
finally agreed to an armistice
(peace agreement) on Nov. 11,
1918 we now call this Veteran’s Day.
The USA met with the French, British,
& the Italians to discuss peace
terms.
The Russians, although they had
fought on our winning side, were not
invited to the peace talks. Russia
had become communist!
14. Terms of Treaty of Versailles
Terms of the Treaty were very harsh, especially
on Germany.
Germany:
Lost land they had taken
Lost their overseas colonies.
Demilitarization, reduce military size.
Accept blame for war in the War Guilt Clause.
Make reparations (payments for damages)
Austria-Hungary & Turkey:
Were divided into several new nations.
15. Rejection of League of NationsRejection of League of Nations
Opponents of the League of Nations
argued that it would drag the USA into
unwanted military commitments.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge strongly
opposed the creation of the League,
saying the USA would lose its freedom of
action.
The United States Congress refused to
ratify (ok) the Treaty of Versailles and
the USA never joined the League of
Nations.

17. American Isolationism
• America turned to a policy of isolationism –
‘separating themselves from other countries’ affairs’.
• America turned its back on Europe by:
•Raising tariffs on imports to protect US businesses
•Restricting European immigration, especially from
Eastern and Southern Europe. (The New Immigrant)
•Rejecting the Treaty of Versailles.
•Refusing to join the League of Nations.
These were all signs of America’s decision to isolate
themselves from the rest of the world.
