☆ Cornell donor demands president step down, citing ‘toxic’ diversity policies
  + stars: | 2024-01-25 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
New York CNN —The growing battle between Ivy League institutions and frustrated alumni is now playing out at Cornell University. A prominent alumnus and longtime donor is calling for the immediate resignations of Cornell President Martha Pollack and Provost Michael Kotlikoff, arguing the university’s diversity policies have created a “toxic” environment. Jon Lindseth, an emeritus member of Cornell’s board of trustees, penned an open letter demanding university leaders clean house. Lindseth’s criticism of Cornell’s DEI policies are supported by the Cornell Free Speech Alliance, an alumni group founded in August 2021 pushing to reform the university. While the website for Cornell’s board of trustees does indicate meetings are scheduled, university officials say these are not emergency meetings.
