“We don’t take our cue from some bullsh*t Student Assembly at Cornell,” said Momodou Taal, grad, who led chants throughout the event. At time of publication, Taal did not respond to repeated requests to elaborate on his remarks. Taal has previously described himself as the liaison representative for Cornell’s Coalition for Mutual Liberation, an activist collective that organized Friday’s protest. Students rally outside Day Hall to demand that Cornell divest from arms companies allegedly contributing to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, on Feb. 2, 2024. Students at Cornell and other universities have faced doxxing and blacklisting over their support for the Palestinian cause.
