The main thing that happened to her is she got older. The picture on the left was taken 26 years ago when she was in her thirties. She’s now almost 63. She might also have a medical condition of some kind. Getting old sucks, especially for women in a youth obsessed society.

Yes it could very well be a medical condition like cancer. I’m really tired of the looks shaming. Not cool.

No that was in Cambridge, MA. I think he was also harassed while at Cornell but I could be wrong

These men didn’t make the decision about how Cornell 7 should be punished. That was the Title IX office (titleix.cornell.edu) Dr. Harrington is Provost at Weill Medical College not the Ithaca campus.

You must not have read the NYT article I posted. The police report omitted her statement that she was raped.

That’s being disputed. Reporters at the Cornell Daily Sun said that news of the sexual assault case and suspension of the fraternity was sent to campus community in 2024.

Heather Munro Prescott @knittingclio.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
There’s evidence that the full story was repressed. The Cornell Daily Sun first reported the sexual assault case in 2024 www.cornellsun.com/article/2024...

Getting back to Hostin, I watched the video. It doesn’t appear to me that she’s defending the Cornell 7 but rather making a case for due process. In other words, she’s speaking as a former prosecutor. Yes it does come across as a bit cold but that’s how lawyers often are.

Although he did critique the organizations for elitism and superficiality, overall Du Bois viewed Black Greek-letter organizations as indispensable institutions for collective progress, provided they remained disciplined, service-minded, and dedicated to social justice.

BTW Du Bois himself became an honorary member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (initiated into the Alpha chapter at Cornell University in 1909). He regularly collaborated with BGLOs, participating in national conventions and writing for their official publications.

I don’t watch the View so had to look this up. Based on what I read, Sunny Hostin is defending the District Attorney’s initial decision not to bring criminal charges in 2024. She also said that the newly filed lawsuit and allegations must still be taken seriously and properly investigated.

At my university, campus police were part of the problem. The sole female officer was sexually harassed and raped. It was literally like a frat house until the most recent President cleaned house.

No. After a Title IX hearing, the panel issued sanctions including expulsions and suspensions from Cornell. None of the individuals charged were offered the opportunity to write essays as a sole consequence of their involvement. That said, the Tompkins Co DA is reopening a criminal investigation.
