Cornell student here! Info is staffed entirely by student workers making minimum wage. We completely agree with you and are outraged and horrified, but all emailing that line (and probably others) will do is just make students even more hurt and frustrated. No one with any real power is going to see that email

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be outraged—believe me, everyone on campus is pissed beyond belief. Emailing and calling, at this point, just overwhelms students who are trying to cope with everything while continuing our classes

You guys need to band together and force your board to do something. An essay? Ridiculous. I would be embarrassed to call myself a Cornell student after this, especially after how hard I know all of the respectable and more importantly, moral, students worked to get there. Surely there’s something that you guys can do; protest, strike…?

What I’m confused about is why the college is handling their punishment and not the police? Can you provide some more insight on information that Cornell has passed to students? I’m so disheartened for all of you that worked your whole lives to get here only to be met with this.

We are planning a walkout on Monday, and there are discussions about working on other things (policy changes, etc.) though those all take more than a few days. I will also say that there were also punishments far beyond just an essay (essays are standard for our drug and alcohol conduct process, which most students think is where that came in, though there’s no official proof), but still, I agree, not enough is being done

Title IX and police are separately. When sexual misconduct happens on any college campus, the survivor can report to either, both, or neither. Title IX is not judicial or criminal—it’s entirely institutional. This means that, when Jane Doe reported the event to Cornell, they began investigating all parts of the event: drugs, alc, rape, etc. At least in NY, a Title IX investigation doesn’t trigger a police report (1)

Cornell hasn’t shared much with us; everything that they have is easily found online. They state that more than the essays were done, and my mention that the essays were prob bc of the substances is just a common line of thinking here as that’s they’re main go to when someone is found in possession/using. There’s no proof, again, it’s just what we’re thinking
