FLEMING | The Prosecution of Momodou Taal in the Words of His Faculty Support — Part 4: The Third Complaint

By |

The characterization of Taal as a multiple offender deserving of the harshest possible punishment is typical of the pseudo-legal language that administrators and the OSCCS have used to talk about the adjudication of alleged conduct code violations. The administration is treating temporary suspensions as if they were convictions, rather than temporary measures intended [in the text of the code] to protect the community until an investigation is completed.

Field Hockey Triumphs to Earn First Win After Rocky Start 

By |

Nearly halfway through its regular season, the Red’s field hockey has persevered, displaying great efforts on the offensive end, though not representative of its record (1-5, 0-1 Ivy). The Red’s Ivy opener against Columbia showcased this –– Cornell took nearly 20 shots, always crashing toward the goal. While Columbia’s keeper Katie Wimmer was definitely solid in goal for the Lions with multiple diving saves, head coach Andy Smith emphasized the lack of finishing throughout the game as an “attitude problem, not a skills problem.” 

Columbia’s Lindsey Yu proved to be the star of the game. She scored the only goal of the game for the Lions and proved to be troublesome for Cornell’s defense as she alone took three of Columbia’s nine shots on goal. 

“It starts with the backend. … We’ve got to start quicker and finish stronger,” said senior defender Gabby Volpe.
