The editors of the Palestine/Israel Review spoke about the societies’ intertwined histories and inspiration behind the journal’s publication.
Students opposed to the divestment referendum argued that the questions were not phrased neutrally in Thursday’s Student Assembly meeting.
After the Common Council passed a ceasefire resolution in a 10-1 vote during a heated meeting on Wednesday, Ithaca is now one of five municipalities in New York to support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
The Student Assembly rejected Resolution 51, which urged Cornell to divest from companies “committing morally reprehensible actions” in Gaza, with a 16-4 vote.
Following an open letter from Jon Lindseth ’56 calling for President Martha Pollack’s resignation, the Cornell Board of Trustees unanimously voted to approve Pollack’s leadership.
In an exclusive interview, Ryan Lombardi and Joel Malina discuss the campus climate following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, including the antisemitic threats made by a Cornell student, Prof. Rickford’s remark and the University’s controversial statements on these matters.
President Martha Pollack made a statement that “an explicit call for genocide, to kill all members of a group of people, would be a violation” of Cornell’s policies amid backlash at other universities.
Pro-Palestinian students occupied various campus buildings from midday Friday, Dec. 1 until 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 3, after the University agreed to meet to discuss divestment.
Cornell students in support of Palestine accused the University of silence following threats toward Palestinian students and allies, as well as criticizing their response to the Israel-Hamas war and ties to Israel.
The U.S. Department of Education announced Cornell is a subject of an investigation into violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act in connection with antisemitic and anti-Muslim harassment.
