    August 3, 2020 Dr. Robert Zimmer President University of Chicago 5801 South Ellis Ave., Suite 501 Chicago, Illinois 60637 Dear Dr. Zimmer: We write to further understand the effects of adversarial foreign direct investment in the U.S. higher education system.1 Under Secretary Betsy DeVos’s leadership, the Department of Education (Department) has sought to improve transparency and reduce reliance on foreign investment by actively enforcing Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which requires colleges and universities to disclose contracts with, and gifts from, any foreign source of over $250,000 to the Department.2 To date, the Department has uncovered over $6.5 billion of previously unreported foreign donations to U.S. Institutes of Higher Education (IHE).3 On May 20, 2020, the Department briefed the Oversight Committee about this apparent lack of transparency in reporting as required by the law. The Department also raised concerns about this level of IHEs dependency on foreign funding from adversarial states and the inherent national security risks.4 Through the efforts of the Department, the Committee learned that many countries use donation agreements or contracts (agreements) with IHEs, professors, or researchers (recipients) to leverage their money into some type of benefit, or quid pro quo.5 This benefit can materialize in different ways. For example, Qatar deems all its donations to recipients to be “strategic” and “trade secrets” and precludes the recipient from disclosing the amount or purpose of the donation.6 Furthermore, some countries place clauses in their agreements granting them first right of refusal before the recipient publishes or sells any work product.7 Finally and most concerning, some recipients alter their decision making based on the donations received.8 During the briefing, the Department informed the Committee that after reports the COVID-19 pandemic may be the result of negligence in a lab in Wuhan, China, two universities that have 1 Letter from Jim D.

Allison Physics at the University of Chicago has a remarkable history. From Albert Michelson, appointed by our first president William Rainey Harper as the founding head of the physics department and subsequently the first American to win a Nobel Prize in the sciences, through the mid-20th century work led by Enrico Fermi, and onto the extraordinary work being done in the department today, the department has been a constant source of imagination, discovery, and scientific transformation. In both its research and its education at all levels, the Department of Physics instantiates the highest aspirations and values of the University of Chicago. Robert J. Zimmer President, University of Chicago Welcome to the inaugural issue of Chicago Physics! We are proud to present the first issue of Chicago Physics – an annual newsletter that we hope will keep you connected with the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago.

Welcome to episode two. And in today’s episode we’re going to explore a concept that I have had great success with in the design world and it’s called your design DNA. We’re also going to talk about the importance of knowing your design DNA and of course we’re going to figure out how you can understand yours. So I’m an interior designer who believes in sequencing. I grew up sewing and I quickly learned that you can’t fit together certain aspects of a garment until you complete other aspects like when you put in the zipper, as a seamstress you must know that the sleeve can’t go in first.

  • Traditional Literature
    Lesson 1 Traditional Literature Traditional literature is made up of stories that have been handed down from one generation to the next. The stories may contain animal characters who talk and act like humans, foolish people or animals who are taught important lessons, or explanations for natural events like earthquakes or lightning. Every civilization has its own form of traditional literature, and the stories can be broken down into specific categories. Folktales are timeless and placeless stories that can be reworked slightly to fit a specific culture’s needs. They involve universal human desires, follies, and struggles, such as the vanity of kings or tall tales about fantastic characters. Myths tell legendary stories of heroes and gods, while fables teach a lesson, usually using animal characters who speak and behave like humans. What kind of story do you think this storyteller is telling?

You draw the inference by reading what the writer says, looking for clues in the text, and using your own knowledge of how things work and how people often behave. In other words, you come to understand something the author means to convey, even though he or she does not state it directly.

Now he and his party's leaders are trying to move on. On the eve of the special election, the wealthy technology epic.org EPIC-17-03-31-DHS-FOIA-20180515-Production-2 000002 entrepreneur flipped out when the Guardian’s Ben Jacobs asked him about the CBO’s score of the health care bill. He now faces misdemeanor assault charges for reportedly throwing Jacobs to the ground and breaking his glasses. “I made a mistake,” the congressman-elect said at his party in Bozeman. “Not in our minds!” yelled a supporter. David Weigel, who was there, reports that some in the crowd laughed. -- After his comfortable six-point victory, Republican congressional leaders are making clear there will be no meaningful consequences for his behavior. “Elections are about choices and Montanans made their choice,” Speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement this morning.
