At its meeting this weekend, the Cornell Board of Trustees can continue on its current path and join the senior administration in doubling down on DEI, or it can choose another path that restores the fundamental values of equality, freedom of speech and expression, and open inquiry, and perhaps rescues the Cornell brand.

Jon Lindseth: "President Pollack and Provost Kotlikoff have allowed their headlong support for DEI policies to take root at the expense of the four essential pillars of Cornell University: 1) Open Inquiry; 2) Academic Freedom; 3) Viewpoint Diversity; and 4) Free Expression. This is an inexcusable violation of their fundamental duty to Cornell. Therefore, they should resign their positions effective immediately."
