Two Harassment Incidents Occur Near Cornell Campus, Police Report

Sun Staff  —  Apr 21, 2010

The Cornell University Police Department on Tuesday reported two similar, yet apparently unrelated harassment incidents. Both involved female victims who said “an unidentified male approached them while they were walking and grabbed them unexpectedly,” according a CUPD crime alert emailed to the Cornell community.

A Follow-Up for Safety

Nov 17, 2009

The University’s response to last Monday’s stabbing incident raises concern about Cornell’s safety protocols and alert procedures. Cornell’s crime alert e-mail reported the incident as merely a robbery and was sent over two and a half hours after it happened, both downplaying the fact that a student was physically harmed and failing to alert the community about suspects who remained at large.

Questions persist surrounding the details of the situation, particularly about the degree of physical harm endured by the student. While The Sun reported the incident as a stabbing, the University has refused to acknowledge this wording, insisting that only a “small puncture wound” was endured.
