Something tells me this isn't the guy to get to the bottom of the Cornell 7 rape allegations:
![at which Kotlikoff delivered the opening remarks. Following the debate, on the walk from Goldwin Smith Hall to the parking lot at Day Hall, Kotlikoff was questioned by a small group of Students for a Democratic Cornell (SDC) members who asked him about freedom of speech and the school's Expressive Activity Policy, which imposes significant limitations on students' ability to protest,[17] and expressed concerns about suspensions of student demonstrators. Although Kotlikoff largely did not answer, the students continued questioning him as he entered his car. Kotlikoff accelerated his vehicle into one student and, after hitting him, turned and rolled over another student's foot before driving away.[18][19] In a later university statement emailed to students, faculty, and staff, Kotlikoff claimed that students were "banging on [the car's] windows" and "shouting".[20] Video evidence of the incident published by the Cornell Daily Sun showed that both of these claims were false.[21][19] The student who's foot had been run over said he had been too fearful of retaliation to press charges "considering Michael Kotlikoff is the boss of CUPD". SDC later told the Cornell Daily Sun that "there was no attempt to intimidate Kotlikoff, physically or verbally and students consistently remained a safe distance away from him.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t5bzq2l75vef7uzlr3ddtpsx/bafkreihlspv4mogitaxsh2fymtiw6tdawakzxxxuhd6xfen2phg6lpghx4)

![During the first five years of the war, the vast majority of coalition deaths were American, but between 2006 and 2011, a significant proportion were amongst other nations, particularly the United Kingdom and Canada which had been assigned responsibility for the flashpoint provinces of Helmand and Kandahar, respectively. This is because in 2006, ISAF expanded its jurisdiction to the southern regions of Afghanistan which were previously under the direct authority of the U.S. military. The UK in particular suffered a high number of deaths relative to other countries, having been in charge of the highly hazardous Helmand region;[9] both Denmark and Estonia, which were part of the British-led Task Force Helmand,[10][11] also suffered high death rates, with Danish troops having the highest death rate of any country in the war as of 2009.[12] In later years, Georgia became the largest non-NATO contributor to Afghanistan and paid a heavy toll with the highest casualty rate, with all of the 32 deaths occurring in Helmand.[13]
As Robert Gates pointed out on 10 June 2011, in his "last policy speech" as U.S. Secretary of Defense, "more than 850 troops from non-U.S. NATO members have made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. For many allied nations these were the first military casualties they have taken since the end of the Second World War."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t5bzq2l75vef7uzlr3ddtpsx/bafkreifaxcskujucy35s5fozeccuqzeovjhreujjabbtchghqqyijnroa4)
