Cornell University canceled its classes on Nov. 3 because of the "extraordinary stress" caused by antisemitic threats a junior at the school made, the NBCNews website reported today (Nov.7, 2023).
Officials arrested a person of interest, later to be revealed to be Patrick Dai, who made tthreats against Jewish students at Cornell on an online social media platform and is accused of saying he would "bring a rifle to campus and shoot all of you [ Jewish people]."
"We will not tolerate antisemitism at Cornell; indeed we will not tolerate hatred of any form, including racism or Islamophobia," Cornell president Martha Pollack wrote in a statement.
