CFSA wishes to thank Martha Pollack for her decision to resign as Cornell President. This decision should allow Cornell University to now address the growing challenges to educational quality that have greatly impeded Cornell in recent years. By resigning, Ms. Pollack has done what is best for the university.
Runaway DEI policies implemented under the current administration have degraded the educational environment and spurred the shameful antisemitic uprisings now dominating campus life. Major policy reform can now begin at Cornell. Such reforms are sorely needed.
CFSA and thousands of Cornell alumni thank Ms. Pollack for her past service. The next step for Cornell is to appoint a new president who will point a path for educational restoration and reform at Cornell. The interim replacement President appointed by Cornell Trustees is former Provost Michael Kotlikoff.
Unfortunately, Mr. Kotlikoff has been closely aligned with Ms. Pollack in creating and implementing an array of very harmful DEI policies at Cornell ifor the past several years. Therefore, Mr. Kotlikoff is not the right person to bring sorely needed DEI reforms to Cornell. A bold and courageous leader who has the fortitude to revoke Cornell's disastrous DEI policies is what Cornell now needs. Mr. Kotlikoff is not such a leader.
CFSA urges the Cornell Board of Trustees to begin the search for a true reformer to become the new Cornell President as soon as possible.
