Video footage has surfaced showing President Michael Kotlikoff backing his car into a student and running over the foot of another following a debate on Thursday evening. The incident occurred as members of Students for a Democratic Cornell followed the President to ask questions regarding campus free expression and recent suspensions. In an email sent to the Cornell community, Kotlikoff characterized the event as a harassment incident, claiming individuals surrounded and banged on his vehicle. However, the obtained video shows no physical contact with the car until it began to move. Students involved report that the President was dismissive of their attempts at dialogue before the collision occurred. The University spokesperson stated that the administration stands by the President’s initial email despite the new footage. The student whose foot was run over received on-site medical attention from Cornell EMS and expressed fear regarding potential retaliation for pressing charges against the University leadership.
