In the early hours of Monday, student activists at Cornell University took a stand against the institution’s response to rape allegations. Around 2 a.m., they vandalized Day Hall, where senior administrators are based. The act included spray-painting messages on the building and breaking windows.
Phrases like “At Cornell rapists are protected protestors are expelled” and “Smash the patriarchy” were seen among the painted messages. These statements reflect the students’ anger and calls for change in how the university handles such allegations.
The incident highlights growing tensions on campus. Discussions around the handling of sexual assault cases have been increasingly vocal among students demanding improved policies and transparency from the university administration.
