VIDEO/NEWS | ‘It’s Almost a Genocide’: Local Hunters Claim Cornell is Allowing for the Overhunting of Deer on its Land In many areas across its 5,490 acres of land, Cornell allows for deer hunting, aiming to improve forest health. Local hunters like Bill Enslow, however, claim that overhunting is destroying the deer population.
President Michael Kotlikoff drove his car into a Cornell student and ran over the foot of a recent graduate following a Cornell Political Union debate on the Israel-Palestine conflict Thursday evening, according to video footage obtained by The Sun.
In a Friday email to the Cornell community, Kotlikoff described being followed to his car after the debate and “accosted” by a group of students and non-students who he wrote were “shouting,” “blocking the car” and “banging on the windows” before he left the parking lot. Kotlikoff described the encounter as a “harassment and intimidation incident” and wrote that he “waited until [he] saw space behind the car.” Kotlikoff did not mention any collision between the vehicle and the individuals.
