In a time when universities are well aware that students are generating papers with AI, assigning an essay is certainly a fucking choice.

Cornell’s official statement. Look at the wording. “None of the individuals charged were offered the opportunity to write essays as a *sole* consequence of their involvement.” Oh, so they got *temporary* suspensions AND an essay. That obviously counts as justice! (/s)
Screenshot of a statement from Cornell University. It reads:

“District Attorney’s investigation of 2024 sexual assault allegations

Sept. 28, 2026

Cornell University supports the decision of the Tompkins County District Attorney (DA) to provide an opportunity for the victim’s story in the 2024 Chi Phi fraternity sexual assault case to be heard by a criminal grand jury.

Cornell also conducted a thorough Title IX investigation, which is separate from a criminal proceeding, over the course of several months. During that investigation, temporary suspensions and other restrictive measures were used. After investigation, and pursuant to federal law, the matter was sent to a hearing where a panel of trained faculty and staff heard evidence over multiple days. The complainant and respondents had the opportunity to testify and present evidence. At its conclusion, the hearing panel issued a range of sanctions, which included expulsions and suspensions from Cornell. None of the individuals charged were offered the opportunity to write essays as a sole consequence of their involvement.

In addition, the involved fraternity chapter was closed in 2024 and remains barred from campus.”

The quote “None of the individuals charged were offered the opportunity to write essays as a sole consequence of their involvement” is highlighted.

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

For years I’ve joked that on January 19th we celebrate the birth of the three most important women in my life: my mom, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Dolly Parton. Except it wasn’t really a joke. The world is a little dimmer today, but so much brighter for the 80 years she spent in it. RIP Dolly. ❤️

Dolly Parton supported so many important causes, among them donating a million dollars to COVID vaccine research early in the pandemic, which saved millions of lives. She will always be remembered as a champion of the people.
