This refusal to protect their most marginalized students by allowing rampant racism, homophobia, transphobia, anti-Blackness, misogyny, sexism, classism and outright bigotry to go unchecked demonstrates the emptiness of administration’s promises to create an inclusive, anti-racist campus. Nonetheless, Resolution 15, demanding the S.A. to unequivocally support the Black Lives Matter movement, passed unanimously on Dec. 3. We want to be clear: Voting “yes” on Resolution 15 is in direct contradiction to voting “no” on Resolution 11. You cannot claim “Black Lives Matter,” yet refuse to materially protect the lives of Black students. However, in providing racist, homophobic Cornell students with a platform, The Cornell Daily Sun is complicit in upholding white supremacy.
