A panel of 10 faculty members  tackled topics ranging from the value of student protest to academic freedom in the classroom Thursday afternoon. The panel was organized by the Student Assembly in connection with Resolution 79, which would create a student bill of rights. 

Professors say social media had major impact on political movement.

In the wake of international accusations over Iran’s nuclear program, I want to return to a column last week by staff columnist Navid Farnia ’10, which was a critique of the panel presented by the Cornell International Affairs Review on the Iranian Election.

I should make it clear that I’m not speaking for the Review here; in fact, I became involved with the publication to challenge many of the problems I saw in contemporary college International Relations discussions, many of which Farnia points out, including a tendency to unquestioningly adopt a “solidarity” with specific peoples of the world to strategic ends in the often-pernicious American game of international politics.
