Cornell University Responds to Antisemitic Threats with Class Cancellation

Cornell University has canceled classes on Friday in response to recent antisemitic threats made by a student on campus. The decision was made to acknowledge the "extraordinary stress" experienced by the community. The student, Patrick Dai, was arrested for posting threats on a Greek life message board, including plans to harm Jewish individuals and target a campus dining hall that serves kosher food. Cornell University has condemned the threats and expressed gratitude to law enforcement for their swift action. Dai faces charges that could result in up to five years in prison.
