Cornell President's Car Incident Sparks Free-Speech Debate After Campus Incident
Video footage from a Cornell debate shows President Michael Kotlikoff backing out of a Day Hall parking space and striking two Students for a Democratic Cornell members as he left, after being followed and questioned about free expression. Kotlikoff says he waited for space and used safety features; the students allege harassment and intimidation, while the university and CUPD have not filed charges and have largely defended Kotlikoff’s account. The Sun reports the incident amid ongoing campus discourse on free speech.
