Here's the part where Cornell requires a "reflection paper" from a perp who testified that after he got the "free pussy" text, he only went into the room because one of the guys in there had a vape he could borrow.
Within ninety (90) days after this Decision becomes final (otherwise subject to
reasonable extension approved by the Title IX Coordinator), Respondent will submit
to the Title IX OfEcc a reflection paper that engages with the specific circumstances for
which he was found responsible and contains a detailed proposal for future University
educational materials to train undergraduate students around the intersection of social
media use and sexual harassment, as well as bystander intervention. The reflection paper
must also include recommendations to the University's Office of Sorority & Fraternity
Life with respect to substance use prevention efforts in Greek Life organizations on
campus. Use of artificial intelligence tools of any kind in the creation of this reflection
paper is prohibited.
" The Hearing Panel expects that Respondent will take this educational opportunity
seriously and apply what he learns to help improve the University/Greek Life community.

Spot the difference
Side-by-side comparison of three social media posts announcing the death of former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert at age 84. On the left, Fox News posts, “BREAKING: Dennis Hastert, longest-serving Republican House speaker, dead at 84,” above a photo of Hastert raising his hand at a microphone. In the center, CBS News posts, “Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died,” above a photo of Hastert walking through the U.S. Capitol. On the right, MeidasTouch posts, “Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, has died at 84. Hastert admitted in federal court to sexually abusing boys he coached as a high school wrestling coach. A federal judge called him a ‘serial child molester.’ He was a registered sex offender.” The MeidasTouch post includes an image of Hastert speaking from the House floor with a C-SPAN chyron identifying him as Speaker of the House.

This is your reminder that when mortgage costs rise, landlords don’t take it easy on renters. Those costs get passed along directly to renters and then some. If you think your mortgage is high, ask a renter what they pay every month, with no equity to show for it.
