LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Cornell’s Administration Was Justified in Criticizing Chants
Re: Everything That Happened on Day Four of the Encampment (news, April 29) Cornell’s Administration was justified in calling out and criticizing chants on campus of “There is only one solution: Intifada Revolution!” It was distressing to read the didactic and overly semantic excuses that certain faculty (letters, April 29) and a follow-up story (news, April 30) offered as cover for those violent taunts.

Everyone knows what it means to call for “intifada” as the “solution” to the Arab-Israeli conflict: It refers to the spate of murders of Israeli civilians. It was no simple “shaking off” and it certainly is not the solution.

Staff immediately provided the student a temporary ID card to ensure continued access to their housing and dining privileges and assured them that this ID card would work until move-out if their original ID was not fixed.
