Fox News
Cornell University professor William Jacobson called President Martha Pollack's statement on antisemitism "window dressing" as the school faces threats to remove federal funding.

On Thursday, Cornell University President Martha E. Pollack wrote a letter to the student body condemning an antisemitic incident on the prestigious university's campus. She is a native of Massachusetts and is based in Orlando, Florida.
"This morning we learned of a post on social media allegedly from a Cornell student explicitly stating that ‘Zionists must die.’ Cornell Police and the Office of Student Conduct are investigating and if we determine that it was posted by a member of the Cornell community, they will be held fully accountable and appropriately sanctioned," Pollack wrote. "This post is heinous, and I condemn it in the strongest terms." Story tips and ideas can be sent to sarah.rumpf@fox.com and on X: @s_rumpfwhitten.
