solidarity forever with my brother @atakandeviren04, who was unjustly barred from cornell’s campus for 3 years. in his stead i’m proud to step up as co-chair of @cornellydsa, which has grown remarkably fast and become a fixture of our campus politics in under a year and a half.

Cornell could pay its effective tax rate to the Ithaca City School District this year and still be $836 million in the green — it wouldn’t have to touch its other holdings. Join us for a RALLY TOMORROW calling on Cornell to fund Ithaca schools and pay our teachers @IthacaTeachers
“Strong” gain: @Cornell’s endowment returned 8.7% in the fiscal year ending June 30, adding nearly $860 million in net investment gains to close with a value of approximately $10.7 billion, according to the Office of University Investments.

This is what happens when labor power and people's movements take on the rising draconian repression on university campuses ✊ ⚡️When we fight, we win! ⚡️ Many thanks to our grad union siblings and our local @cornellydsa @cmlcornell @BSU_Cornell @aaup_cornell
Cornell GSU held the boss's feet to the fire & prevented the deportation of one of their members who has been unfairly disciplined for peacefully protesting. Marguerite Pacheco, member of @Cornell_GSU, wrote about the actions of the local in the UE NEWS. https://t.co/ZUBkTEu8h9

We defend our own. Hands off Momodou, divest now.
Following the suspension of an international pro-Palestine graduate student, multiple groups on campus have launched support campaigns to pressure administrators to reverse their course. https://t.co/cMicFRgp5v

RALLY AT 12:30: Over 186,000 Palestinians have been murdered in Gaza, and Cornell has responded by threatening to deport one of our campus’ most vocal advocates against genocide and imperialism. Today we rally for Palestine, for Lebanon, and for our friend Momodou. Be there.

CORNELL COMMUNITY: Please sign and share this petition in solidarity with our friend and comrade Momodou:

We write with outrage over the recent temporary suspension of graduate worker Momodou Taal, on the grounds of his alleged participation in a recent Pro-Palestine and anti-genocide campus protest....
Cornell YDSA stands with @MomodouTaal, who has been illegally suspended and threatened with deportation. In his words, @Cornell suspended him “to shift the focus away from their complicity in genocide.”

Momodou’s suspension violates Cornell’s new “three strikes” disciplinary policy, and he is being targeted intentionally as an international student on an F-1 visa linked to employment. @Cornell MUST respond to @Cornell_GSU’s request to bargain over the suspension.

Cornell just became the first university of the spring semester to suspend a student for pro-Palestine organizing. They’re intentionally targeting an international student & one of the most visible advocates for divestment on our campus—the Cornell community won’t tolerate this.
There is targeted campaign of intimidation and harassment against me from Cornell’s administration and police. I have been suspended again. I had no chance to dispute the charges, nor see the evidence or appeal. They informed me that I am effectively being deported by the weekend

Cornell trustee Kraig Kayser is engaged in genocide profiteering. It’s no wonder @Cornell leadership refuses to divest from genocide when it’s lining their pockets. If President Michael Kotlikoff wants Cornell to be “neutral,” he should call for Kayser to resign.
I’m not sure how well known it is that the chair of Cornell’s board of trustees, Kraig Kayser, is also a board director of - and a big shareholder in - a major weapons company, which is headquartered just outside Buffalo 🧵
