Allegations of an Unjust Termination at Cornell Tech
By
A former employee at the Cornell Tech campus of Cornell University says she was fired for calling out racism online and for speaking out against ethnic cleansing in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. In a
Medium post, the former employee, J. Khadijah Abdurahman, said that she recently defended her friend’s critical technology practice syllabus when some began to criticize it on social media for not including more non-Black scholars. Abdurahman said she was particularly aggrieved by that suggestion that the syllabus should resemble her colleague Tapan Parikh’s Revolutionary Technology syllabus. Having worked with Parikh, an associate professor of human-computer interaction, since 2018, Abdurahman said she knew that Parikh’s syllabus featured almost zero Black scholars.
