Hundreds of Cornellians sign an open letter to the Cornell community, expressing their support for President Kotlikoff and Cornell's Student Code of Conduct.
Cornell alumnus Bradford Garrigues Sr. '77 argues that while students have the right to voice their opinions, they should not dictate university policy. He asserts that disruptive or violent protests should face consequences and emphasizes the importance of students learning life skills, including respect for authority, during their college experience.
The Cornellians for Israel Executive Board explains why we petitioned against Kehlani: It is not because she supports the Palestinian people, nor that she has criticized the war in Gaza — it’s that she calls for violence against Jews.
Columnist Ezra Galperin questions the original choice of Kehlani for Slope Day, when, he argues, Kehlani is an antisemite, plain and simple.
In a Letter to the Editor, graduate students in the Department of Music respond to the cancellation of Kehlani as Slope Day's headliner.
Professor Ruth Collins contrasts President Kotlikoff's statement on Kehlani's Slope Day contract with the administration's previous position against censorship of guest speakers.
In a Letter to the Editor, Irvin McCullough writes that administration chose perceived comfort over the principle of free expression when disinviting Kehlani from Slope Day.
Professor Kamtekar urges Cornellians for Israel to hold themselves to a consistent standard. She writes: If your objection to Kehlani was that her anti-Israel position would have made you “feel unsafe” during her performance, then give a thought to what makes your fellow Cornellians feel unsafe.
Over 500 Cornell faculty members signed an open letter to the Board of Trustees urging the University to defend academic freedom amid growing political attacks on higher education. Released on the National Day of Action for Higher Education, the letter calls for legal resistance, public condemnation, and collective action across institutions.
