REYEN | Angelica Ross’ Campus Visit is More Important Than Ever. Here’s Why.

By |

Cornell needs to do better. We all need to do better to understand perspectives outside our own. If our administration won’t put the work in, we need to pick up the slack to foster respect in our community and ensure that we do the least harm to others on our campus, that there is no audience for the hateful and ignorant rhetoric perpetuated by Shapiro, that transgender identities are not up for debate at Cornell and racism and hate speech will never be tolerated.

MALINA | A Clarification Regarding My Sept. 30 Comments on the KKK

By |

My comments, in response to a question from a participant in the meeting about the KKK, were made in the context of my being challenged on why Cornell is allowing some hurtful speech to take place and to illustrate Cornell’s deep commitment to free expression. In retrospect, it was a terrible analogy that was posed, and a false equivalency, and I should have said as much in response. To be clear, the KKK is abhorrent by any standard, and Cornell University would never invite a representative of the KKK to campus. Any speaker invited by a faculty member or student organization is reviewed by the University Events Team and is only allowed to come to campus if the safety of all in our community can be assured.
