[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of parental pressure. Ppl are angry with how she’s handled things with the protests. Threats to pull kids etc.

Very large Jewish population (30%??)[/quote]

Please stop this.  There's also lots of Qatari money coming to Cornell.  Unless you are in the inner circle right now, you have no basis for suggesting that either of those things was responsible, and it is the height of irresponsibility to attribute this to a particular group of parents (or a country for that matter).  No doubt the wear and tear of this past year played into the decision of this retirement-aged president to retire, but as both an alum and a current parent, I have seen no seriously organized effort through either channel to do more than vent about her.

Umm. I’m Jewish. And a Cornell parent. And a part of the parents group on FB. People are incensed by her inaction and inability to protect Hillel. Look at the statements coming from Hillel and the need for private security.

She’s “both sided” this issue from the beginning.

Good riddance.  [/quote]

Has Cornell Hillel been attacked? I am not on FB but have heard nothing about it from DC.[/quote]
