In light of all of the SA stories circulating, I took 5 at the beginning of my first class to talk about bystander intervention. Most, but not all ,of the class seemed to be on board.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

Cringe, for lack of a better word, is good. Cringe is right. Cringe works. Cringe clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Cringe, in all of its forms -- cringe for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.

In 2023, the various longstanding flaws of Lincoln Riley teams got pinned on a defensive coordinator named Alex Grinch. You'd have thought The Grink was the head coach. This year, Riley's defense is worse than when The Grink Was There, 115th in YPP allowed, tied with an especially Rutgersy Rutgers

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

I think about norms a lot. They are more powerful than laws, in many cases. I was in a frat. I imagine most frats have some sort of official/unofficial story time for antics from the previous week. What are the norms established there?

There is nothing unusual or unique about what happened at Cornell. Drugging women for SV happens on all kinds of campuses all the time. It's not a Cornell problem, it's a we create monsters problem.

I’m seeing a lot of posts from older women about how they won’t talk or think about Cornell because it’s too painful or the problem is too big to solve. I’m urging you all to remember how you felt as a college student when older women said that to you. Don’t turn your back on the next generation.

Mr. and Mrs. ACC are designed to extend well beyond a single commercial. The duo will serve as recurring characters throughout the academic year, with additional characters joining them as the campaign evolves.
Together, they will provide new opportunities to celebrate the traditions, rivalries, personalities and experiences that define ACC fandom across sports and key moments.
