“But we make rapists write an essay in private.” AOC blasted the stark contrast between Cornell’s treatment of student protesters and its alleged handling of students accused in the Chi Phi case. The lawsuit alleges that the seven students were given the opportunity to submit essays to mitigate disciplinary consequences. Meanwhile, Cornell students have faced suspensions and other serious consequences for campus protest activity. For many Cornellians, the question is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: What does the University choose to punish — and what does it choose to protect? #Cornell #CornellUniversity #AOC #Ithaca #ChiPhi #CampusProtests #Cornellians
