labor student @ cornell ilr | the cause of labor is the hope of the world

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Fans of the Sun’s great reporting work on this should read their Editorial Board’s piece today on the incident — excellent analysis of how Kotlikoff’s distortions of events and immediate, public disparagement of the students he hits undermines trust in his admin. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

“Video footage obtained by The Sun shows Students for a Democratic Cornell members Aiden Vallecillo ’26 and Hudson Athas ’27 being struck by the car. In the video, no person can be seen touching the vehicle before it drove into Vallecillo and Athas.” www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

ABC report tonight on Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff hitting two students with his car after they approached him to discuss repression of free speech on campus and the 80+ student activists he’s suspended without due process:

The sequence of events here is wild: - Cornell’s president hits two students with his car - He releases a statement saying students were banging on his car and shouting, doesn’t mention hitting anyone - Video is released and disproves this - He releases security footage disproving his own statement

The president of Cornell backed his car into a student and a recent grad after a campus debate on Israel-Palestine. Then he lied about what happened in an email claiming he'd been the victim of harassment. Then, magnificently, Cornell's student newspaper found a video of the incident
