University Statements

Dear Cornell Community,

Earlier today, I wrote to you with the goal of providing information about the efforts that we have made over the last few days to reach out to and support our faculty, students and staff who have been impacted by the devastation in Israel, and to acknowledge the impact that this and other recent tragedies have had on members of our campus community.

In the hours since, I have heard from a number of you who expressed dismay that I failed to say that the atrocities committed by Hamas this past weekend were acts of terrorism, which I condemn in the strongest possible terms.

I offer my heartfelt apologies for the omission from my previous message.

Sincerely,

Martha E. Pollack
President
