Cornell’s President Misses the Point—In a Telling Way
In contrast to the drunk or drugged or immature Cornell students, the university’s president, Michael Kotlikoff, is supposed to be a sober grownup. He’s in his 70s and has been on the Cornell faculty since 2000. He was dean of Cornell’s School of Veterinary Medicine from 2007 to 2015, and was provost of the entire university from 2015 to 2024. Yet in the aftermath of Cornell student Jane Doe’s civil lawsuit claiming that she was subjected to “heinous criminal sexual acts” by a gang of seven fellow Cornell students in the Chi Phi fraternity house on October 19 and 20, 2024. Kotlikoff offered up a video. In it, he asserted, “As a community, we must foster a culture in which sexual assault is inexcusable and ensure our community is empowered and understands informed consent, body autonomy, and prevention.” The post Cornell’s President Misses the Point—In a Telling Way appeared first on .
