Cornell Donor Demands President’s Ouster Over Diversity Policies

Cornell University is the latest school under fire from donors seeking a changing of the guard over its policies on free speech, diversity and antisemitism, following the ousters of the heads of the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University.

Jon Lindseth, a Cornell donor and former trustee, called for the resignation of President Martha Pollack for mishandling diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and promoting “groupthink” on campus.
