Rizwangul NurMuhummad, grad, co-founded a funding and training initiative targeting the needs of Uyghur women and students in Turkey.
Cornell, how can you justify having a program in Beijing? How can you justify not addressing the 40 Chinese Cornell students booing NurMuhammed? Her freedom of expression is at risk. I’m glad we have the Ukraine flag up in Klarman; now we must also recognize the Uyghur genocide with the same compassion and visible support.
A question from a Cornellian Uyghur graduate student to Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) at a Cornell event sparked controversy after boos, a walkout and an open letter from Chinese students at Cornell who were angered by the question about the Uyghur genocide.
