Not just Cornell…..it’s an “Elite School Culture” ~ 10 years ago at Harvard it happened to Amanda Nguyen 💔 #SheShed
AMANDA NGUYEN
SURVIVOR • ADVOCATE • CHANGE MAKER
After being raped at Harvard in 2013, Amanda Nguyen faced not only trauma, but a system that failed survivors. Instead of staying silent, she turned her pain into purpose-
-exposing flaws, demanding
accountability, and changing the law for survivors everywhere.
THE HARVARD CASE A SYSTEM THAT FAILED HER
HAREADD
THE CORNELL CASE A DECADE LATER, THE SAME FAILURES In 2024, a Cornell student was assaulted at the Chi Phi fraternity house.
CORNELL
She faced a victim-blaming environment, a "voluntary intoxication loophole, and a complex Title IX process that led to suspensions and expulsions instead of criminal charges-raising the same concerns about how elite institutions handle sexual violence.
AMANDA NGUYEN'S STORY MATTERS BECAUSE IT REVEALS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM-THEN AND NOW.
Survivors should not have to fight institutions, evidence rules, and legal systems just to seek justice and accountability.
@coco.sheshed.rocks HARVARD
AND
CORNELL A DECADE APART, THE SAME SYSTEMIC FAILURES
The systemic vulnerabilities exposed at Harvard University in 2013 and Cornell University in 2024 highlight a long-standing, parallel pattern of how elite institutions handle sexual violence.

The Incident
Context
Assaulted in 2015 durint her senior year. Faced immediate feelings of severe isolation within her campus housing
Assaulted in October 2024 at the Chi Phi fraternity house. Faced victim-blaming in Greek life circles, ultimately leading her to drop out.
Evidence & Investigation
Hurdles
Discovered that while the statute of limitations for rape was 15 years, the state could destroy her untested forensic rape kit after just 6 months unless she manually filed extensions.
Faced New York's "voluntary intoxication loophole," where prosecutors initially declined to charge because state law requires proof of force unless a victim was drugged without consent.
Institutional
Sanctions
Navigated a labyrinthine bureaucratic process that forced her to repeatedly advocate for her basic rights against a ticking clock.
Adjudicated under a complex,
5-month Title IX framework that

essays as a discio inary measure

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (they were horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates). She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger. She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked. Horrible

It seems very clear to me that all the anti-Iran stuff is being pushed purposefully to make the US/UK accept an Iraq style invasion. Be aware that there is a purpose behind all this BS.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Cornell University takes rape so seriously that seven #ChiPhi fraternity rapists (Matthew Ingalls, Jonathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris and Scott Kretzschmar) were punished by having to write an essay. And you wonder why women don't feel safe . . .

Why is Luigi Mangione shooting a greedy CEO who murdered thousands to make billions bad. While the USA bombing schoolchildren in Iran is 'good'. Why is the Establishment allowed to murder whoever they want, but as soon as you raise a finger they scream "VIOLENCE IS EVIL"

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
