At Cornell, the school uses an anonymous reporting system in which anyone can submit a complaint against a frat, even people who don’t attend the university—which can then become near-immediate grounds for a formal investigation during which the fraternity may very likely be suspended. This happened as recently as February, when Cornell’s Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards (OSCCS) received “an anonymous incident report” making unspecified allegations against at least 10 fraternities. By 9 p.m. the same day, OSCCS emailed every new member of those fraternities encouraging them to come forward with their own reports; three days later the school began suspending the accused chapters. The frats were prohibited from all social activity during the investigation, which included banning new members from eating at the house, even though they were paying for the fraternity meal plan, and limiting events at campus apartments occupied by graduating seniors, some of whom even had to cancel their birthday parties. I talked to one senior who wrote to the university, explaining that their guidelines were making it impossible to hold even small gatherings among friends and asking for additional clarity so seniors could find approved ways to enjoy their final days as students—especially since the anti-Israel protests were making campus life notably unenjoyable.

“It was frustrating because most people in our frat are Jewish, and the frat really was essential for us while there were swastikas being drawn on school sidewalks and people were yelling ‘From the river to the sea’ every day,” he said. “I said in my email to the school that campus is divided, isolating, and even threatening for Jews sometimes, so having the fraternity social network is actually a critical part of our lives. They didn’t even respond to my message.” The school lifted his frat’s suspension nearly a month later after the university found insufficient evidence for the allegations.

This incident—and the myriad other times the school leaped to penalize even unsubstantiated infractions—is still fresh in the minds of Cornell fraternity brothers as they watch the university’s noisy Gaza encampment enter its second week, despite multiple statements from the school pointing out its many rule violations. “It’s pretty clear the school views a certain type of rule break as honorable and just, and other rule breaks as violations by entitled jerks, so this was not surprising to me,” the senior said.

College Shitlist (boycott these colleges)

This is the updating list of colleges where pro-palestine protests are present that have brutalized/arrested/punished their students for protesting the ongoing palestinian genocide.

REMEMBER: DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THESE COLLEGES. PROTESTS ON THESE CAMPUSES ARE IMPORTANT, BUT KEEPING YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND MONEY AWAY FROM THESE ABHORRENT INSTITUTIONS DIMINISHES THEIR POWER. THEIR ONLY POWER COMES FROM THEIR STUDENTS AND THEIR MONEY. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE THEIR PRESTIGE AWAY.

Trying to keep the Dirtmas spirit alive, I just remembered the work Walter de Maria showed at Cornell University's foundational Earth Art exhibit in 1969.

In a gallery carpeted with earth, the artist used a broom handle to write the title, GOOD FUCK.

When curator Willoughby Sharp and university officials closed it off from public view, De Maria announced he was pulling out, and Michael Heizer joined him. Their seminal works were omitted from the show's catalogue and archive, only to be rediscovered in 2002 by Suzaan Boettger.

.@CMLCornell ’s full statement on my and three other students’ suspensions from Cornell University. I’ve been honoured to build community with such principled, fearless and compassionate students. These suspensions have only strengthened our resolve. Free Palestine until it’s backwards!

Lipton talking about Lt. Moore who got on Sobel's bad side. (Moore blew himself up during a demonstration, btw.) and PVT Cornell who pissed off Sobel so much he broke a $5 fountain pen and then the poor guy got sent to North Africa.

Hol up. You can have a fake fight during the doubles match against Cornell???.?!

I feel bad for asking again but.... How???

HEHE. I know you've found it now, but for everyone else's benefit: just don't win too early!! I think it's now roughly in the sixth / seventh game. (It's in the update that'll go out to the public on the 21st)

Also, I've now added an option for MC to REALLY fight with their doubles partner. Just for the folks who like being combatant. Also, inspired by JBento on the COG forums, who really does want to beat Rayyan up.

My literary heroes who were known to keep a diary: TOLSTOY; THOREAU; WOOLF; CORNELL. To be like Thoreau and write everything down. Then to return like a ship to the same diary page.
