The day after Banksy’s protest art was scrubbed from London’s Royal Courts of Justice, we received Cornell’s official answer as to why Cornell Police shut down our graduation protests on May 24: According to CUPD, punishments are issued at the “discretion” of police, unburdened by reference to policy and unconstrained by rights to free speech. We disclose our institutional correspondence with CUPD and offer conclusions about Cornell’s revealed free speech policy.
