Democratic congressional candidate Josh Riley, who is running to represent New York s 19th district, spoke to Cornellians about his campaign in a Cornell Democrats town hall on Friday.
Students rallied outside a United Auto Workers union vote on Monday, standing with Cornell employee union members who are advocating for livable wages amid staffing shortages in their new contract with the University.
Throughout all these crises, the idea of being “the campus on the hill,” separate and safe from the dangers of the rest of the world, seemed to many students as a farce. It would appear as though Cornell doesn’t address the student deaths as a collective event that continuously impacts the student body morale; the numbers of lost students have not been made readily accessible to the public prior to Do Better Cornell’s statement, which only adds to the atmosphere of secrecy and fear. Throughout all these examples of anxiety-inducing events, there has existed a surreal amount of dissonance between the Cornell administration’s attitudes, those of its faculty and those of its students.
