How I Plan to Use AI in the Classroom This Fall

1 week ago | aei.org | Samuel J. Abrams

The summer recess has only just begun. Before taking their much-needed break, professors are beginning to plan for their fall courses, and this year is shaping up to be a real challenge. One issue that is being hotly debated and discussed is how professors should manage artificial intelligence (AI). While some professors are considering banning the use of AI, others have accepted that there is nothing that can be done to halt the use of AI in their students’ work and will try to grade accordingly.

A research trip to Seville, Spain, in graduate school introduced me to the wonderful world of flamenco. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to revisit this spectacular art form when I saw Noche Flamenca in New York. The show was mesmerizing. The singing, dancing, clapping, and rhythms were both familiar and foreign, and I was in a state of awe, feeling the beats of the music and being captivated by the beauty of a dozen artists on stage.
Survey Data Shows Progressive Ideology is Creating Fissures in Jewish Students’ Views on Israel

3 weeks ago | aei.org | Samuel J. Abrams

IntroductionThe last year has seen a flourishing of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests on college and university campuses. Protesters have set up encampments, occupied buildings, spewed antisemitic rhetoric, and physically barred pro-Israel Jews from campus public spaces. Notably, almost all of this activity is associated with what are seen as “progressive” or leftist students, and in this they constitute the culmination of decades of shifting views about Israel on the American left.

The Wasted Privilege of the Harvard Faculty

4 weeks ago | aei.org | Samuel J. Abrams

The work of Isabel Wilkerson is a favorite in Harvard faculty circles, yet many have forgotten or ignored a key lesson of her book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. In her seminal work, Wilkerson declares, “Ignorance is no protection from the consequences of inaction.
Harvard Sets the Tone-And It’s Off-Key for Jews

4 weeks ago | aei.org | Samuel J. Abrams

Harvard, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious university, has long set the standard in higher education. For Jewish families, gaining admission has historically been both a symbol of merit and a source of communal pride. But Harvard has also long resisted their inclusion—first through admissions quotas in the early 20th century, and now, once again, by deliberately limiting the number of Jewish students on campus in the 21st.

The climate on college campuses since the terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7th has caught the attention of the powerbrokers in Washington, most notably, President Donald Trump. The Trump administration has formed a task force to root out antisemitism on campuses across the country, and numerous other federal offices and interest groups — such as the American Jewish Committee — are mobilizing to join this effort.
