Disruption of Career Fair
This afternoon, members of the Coalition for Mutual Liberation disrupted a Career Fair in the Statler Hotel. Cornell Police officers were pushed and shoved. Guests of the university felt threatened. And students were denied their ability to experience the Career Fair. This behavior is unacceptable, a violation of university policy, and illegal.
Cornell Police are working to identify those who violated our policies, and students will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards for immediate action including suspension. Faculty and staff will be referred to Human Resources. These individuals will also be subject to potential criminal charges.
Community members are encouraged to share with Cornell Police any information they may have around this afternoon’s events, including the identities of those who engaged in this shameful behavior.
