Imagine a university where the safety and dignity of students are disregarded by those in power, a place where justice is supplanted with inadequate disciplinary measures, and where victims of horrific crimes find no solace in the hands of their educators. This is the dire situation faced by students and their families at Cornell University under the oversight of Michael Kollikoff.

At a campus protest, Kollikoff, who holds a position of authority expected to embody leadership and responsibility, inexplicably ran over protestors and then drove away. Such a blatant disregard for student safety is unconscionable and showcases an individual unfit for any role requiring empathy and influence over young lives.

Moreover, Kollikoff's handling of a deeply disturbing case of sexual violence is a further testament to his unsuitability in his current role. Seven men, after drugging a woman, subjected her to a seven-hour gang rape, a crime that demands severe repercussions for such soul-scarring actions. In a move that trivializes this atrocity, Kollikoff 'punished' the perpetrators by merely assigning essays. This action not only insults the victim but also sends a demoralizing message that endangers the very essence of justice on campus. The community entrusted in finding institutional support and comfort saw nothing but callousness. Is this campus really a safe place for diversity or women?

We believe in a Cornell University that champions the protection and fairness all of its attendees deserve, a place where justice is served equitably and boldly. Michael Kollikoff has proven through his actions that he is not the protector of these values and must be removed from his position to ensure the campus community's trust and safety are restored.

Join us in our call to demand accountability and ethical standards at Cornell University. Sign this petition to remove Michael Kollikoff from his position and stand up for a safe, just, and responsible academic environment.
