Cornell Student Who Won’t ‘Work for a Jew’ Claims School is Welcoming Him Back
“This incident has been referred to the Cornell Office of Civil Rights for investigation under university policy”
If this student had said something like this about any other group, he would not be able to get into any school.
The New York Post reports:
Ivy League student who’s ‘not interested in working for a Jew’ says Cornell is welcoming him back
The disgraced Cornell University student who went viral for declining an interview with an NYC startup because he said he didn’t want to be “working for a Jew,” claims he’s returning the upstate Ivy league campus in the fall.
Austin Franco, 19, the rising junior who delivered the message to VrfID’s Jewish co-founders Gabe and Aiden Einhorn via job board site Handshake in June, told conservative nonprofit Accuracy in Media that he hardly got a slap on the wrist from Cornell.
“As of now, they said there’s not anything going on on their back end. I think it’s because I didn’t say anything that could be classified as hateful,” Franco unknowingly confided to an “undercover investigator” for the organization, who lured him to a meet-up pretending to be a fellow antisemite.
He said that the school reached out to him after the controversy, but no action has been taken against him.
A spokesperson for Cornell referred The Post to the school’s previous statement, but declined to comment on Franco’s claim that he is returning to campus.
“This incident has been referred to the Cornell Office of Civil Rights for investigation under university policy,” the Cornell spokeswoman said.
“Cornell condemns antisemitism and all forms of hatred and discrimination in the strongest possible terms. The university is steadfastly committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for every member of our community.”
Cornell’s lackluster response has sparked outrage among Jewish students and leaders.
Good thing he didn't mispronoun someone, then he'd really be in trouble. https://t.co/qbGyZ9Pabq

This bigoted young man is studying “industrial labor relations,” as a major. And he’s going to an Ivy league school to do that. Honestly you can get that degree with an assocites at the local community college. For this one, I feel like it’s win for team Jew because thank you we don’t want a stupid empty headed bigot majoring in socialism/communism labor studies. The loser bigot squad can have this one. I’m sure he’ll really contribute alot to society with his bullshit water down degree in human resources that isn’t even as good as an actual degree in human resources. I’m guesing AI bots will replace his wanna be job even before he graduates. Enjoy your student debt Franco, I’m sure you’ll just blame the Jews for your idiot career choices.
Freedom of association. If he doesn’t want to work for a Jew, or a Muslim, or a Russian, or an American, or a tranny, or a Mormon, or a Satanist, or an Amishman, or a person with low IQ, or a person with a congenital disease, or a robot, or a white person, or a black person, or for whoever or whatever, he should be free to do so. That is what freedom of association means. The question is, why are the Jews as a group taking it so badly if people don’t want to associate with them? Pride? I personally like many Jews because they’re so intelligent and interesting, but I’m not going to try to force or compelled others to like them.
So when a business partnership, say a 25 person law firm made up of fine fellows like Fewerlaws, decides it doesn’t want to hire any Jews, it’s ’freedom of association’ rights say, that’s fine. No problem. It’s just freedom. Just liberty-piberty.
Speaking AS a Jew, I say let that law firm hire or NOT hire who they jolly well please. It’s none of the government’s business, and it’s none of your business.
I will absolutely guarantee you that there are plenty of predominantly Jewish law firms that are very selective about which “goyim“ they will hire.
1. The laws currently allow freedom of association for employees, but not for employers. No law forces you to accept a job from someone you don’t like, but the law does force you to hire people you don’t like. That ought to be changed, but it won’t be.
2. A university should refuse to have a student on its rolls who is publicly racist like this. His attitude is not acceptable, and it makes him not a fit person to be associated with the university. The university should exercise its own freedom of association by expelling him.
3. The problem here is that had he said he didn’t want to work for black people he would be out on his ear, but somehow saying he doesn’t want to work for Jews is different. That’s wrong. The university ought to have the same standard for both.
I’m Jewish and I’m glad he said what he said. Now others will know who ~he~ is. It follows that we can know who is willing to hire him.
Clarity is good. His statement provides that clarity about him now, and will provide the same about whoever hires him in the future. Although it’s clear that he’s an antisemitic asshole, in the greater scheme of things, it’s a win-win situation. He gains notoriety for his opinions, we gain knowledge about him, and the first amendment is satisfied. And besides, what Jew would want to hire an antisemite?
Bottom line: good for Cornell finally doing a right thing.
Cornell is a private university (mostly).
