🇺🇸⚡️- The NYT has obtained the documents outlining the punishments each of the Cornell 7 received by the Title IX court in the aftermath of the incident involving Lucy Craig aka Jane Doe, despite the panel concluding that Craig was not sexually assaulted by all the men she accused. 2 of the boys were expelled from school, including the boy who sent the "free pussy" text in snapchat. 1 who had graduated was barred from campus grounds. 2 were suspended for two years and upon return would be under multiple semesters of probation. And the remaining boys, who entered the room after the "free pussy" text was sent, were ordered to write "reflective essays" about bystander intervention and sexual harassment. This is a far cry from the mega viral posts claiming that the men only received light punishments from Cornell after the initial allegations which are now canon to millions to people including Democrat elected officials and legions of young women addicted to Instagram and TikTok.

🇺🇸⚡️- Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff has released a full video statement on the Cornell 7.

Cornell’s Board of Trustees will also announce details next week of an outside independent investigation alongside the State. Kotlikoff also took aim at Greek Life saying the University will "take a serious look at the role of fraternities and sororities". All Greek life events have been cancelled this weekend, major protests are planned at the school on Monday by student groups calling for Kotlikoff's resignation. The Professors Union has also condemned him and demanded "accountability".
