A friend’s son is halfway through a Cornell bachelor’s degree (not impressed so far by the overall experience, either academics or social, which is sad considering how hard young people and their parents work to get into any Queers for Palestine League school). I emailed him in October with a subject line of “How are you surviving the Cornell Genocide?”
He responded that “the mob is well and alive” and included a photo of the street where the debauchery/rape occurred:
He estimated that 30 percent of the students believe that the Cornell 7 are innocent and also that nobody is able to express this view publicly (diversity of opinion is not a value at an institution that has made large investments in diversity). Nobody is allowed to use any term other than “Jane Doe” for the cash-seeking plaintiff, though some people do refer to her as “Lucy Craig” in private.
On the other hand, in a November 4, 2026 call, he said that Jane Doe had been mostly forgotten. “There are still some remnants left, like a ‘Cornell Protests Rapists’ banner on a dorm, but there isn’t any real discussion.” In other words, the concern regarding this matter lasted only about one month, fairly similar to worldwide sympathy for Israel following the Gazans’ mostly peaceful October 7, 2023 excursion. (After that, whatever the Gazans might have done was forgotten and 99% of sympathy was directed toward Arabs calling themselves “Palestinian”, who were subject to “Israeli attacks” (not “counterattacks”) in “Israel’s war” (a war started by Israel).)
Phil, in one of your previous posts on Lovely Lucy (link below) you concluded (along with a commenter) that Cornell’s administration were a bunch of fools.
Based on your post today, it appears that 70% of the students have learned from their masters to be fools too (i.e. 70% believe Lovely Lucy Craig was raped even after reading her follow-up texts raving about much she enjoyed the “gang bang” and snorting ketamine off of a fellow student’s penis).
Related, Cornell’s faculty last week passed a resolution of “no confidence” in the administration of the Great One President Michael Kotlikoff (link below).
It would be interesting to see a poll of the faculty to see if they are greater fools than the students or vice versa!

Follow-up on the faculty no-confidence vote. I couldn’t find this, but Grok did!
According to Grok, 55.6% voted in favor; 37% against and 7.4% abstained.
Based on this, it appears that slightly fewer faculty members are fools vs. students, but not by much.
Given what your friend’s son now knows about Cornell (60-70% of his fellow students are low-IQ, the faculty are similar, the administration are dopes…), if he didn’t already, what in the world is he still doing there? What are his parents saying about this shit-show (I assume they are footing the bill)?
