As classes start at Cornell, students return to a campus marked by new policies toward expression and doxxing. In a message to the University community on Wednesday, Jan. 24, President Martha Pollack announced new interim policies with implications for protests, posters, speaker events and more. Nadine Strossen, an American legal scholar and former President of the American Civil Liberties Union, asserted that increased guidelines can improve campus free speech. “These policies are an attempt to further intimidate student groups and limit students’ freedom of expression.”Student groups also had mixed reactions to the new University policy on doxxing. The University is now soliciting feedback from faculty, staff and students to comment on the interim policies.
