About 100 people gathered to call for solidarity and an end to U.S. support for violence in Palestine.
In no way can I comprehend how clear-thinking, well-educated Cornell students (and faculty) can gather in support of Hezbollah
The underlying formal complaint, however, remains in place and has not been investigated. On Aug. 2 Taal received an email from OSCCS offering to discuss a possible alternate resolution. Taal asserted his right under the CGSU-UE’s Memorandum of Agreement with Cornell to have the Union bargain on his behalf, and has begun to compile a list of witnesses. To date the process has not advanced beyond this point.
In theory, therefore, since Taal did not enter the alternate resolution, the complaint entered the “investigation” stage. This was six months ago, and Taal has received no updates.
Jewish parents questioned the University’s policy enforcement during a private Zoom meeting with Vice President of University Relations Joel Malina and Vice President of Student Life Ryan Lombardi.
Black Students United said the University is not providing due process in an international graduate student’s suspension since administrators refuse to bargain with the Cornell Graduate Students Union.
The protesters were identified through video and photographic evidence tying them to a Sept. 18 career fair disruption.
Following the suspension of an international pro-Palestinian graduate student, multiple groups on campus have launched support campaigns to pressure administrators to reverse their course.
After the University banned a pro-Palestinian international student from campus on Monday, members of the Cornell community have rallied and petitioned for the suspension to be reversed.
The temporary suspension violates Cornell’s own Student Code of Conduct Procedures, constitutes an extreme and disproportionate punishment imposed without just cause and without due process and violates academic freedom and freedom of expression.
