Antisemitic Threats at Cornell University: Arrest and Campus Response
Cornell University has canceled classes to acknowledge the "extraordinary stress" on campus after a student, Patrick Dai, was arrested for making violent antisemitic threats against Jewish students. The threats, made in the context of escalating tensions over the Israel-Hamas conflict, have prompted increased security measures and concerns for the safety of Jewish students. The university plans to observe a community day and is considering additional steps to combat antisemitism. The FBI is investigating the case, and New York Governor Kathy Hochul is considering state charges. Antisemitism in the US has been on the rise, with FBI Director Christopher Wray stating that it is reaching "historic levels."
