Antisemitic calls and violent threats at the Qatar-funded university
University score: F
Freedom of speech: F
FIRE free speech ranking: #212 out of 248 colleges
Dependence on Foreign Money: F
Cornell has received more money from foreign, terror-supporting nations than any other U.S. university. The small Islamist kingdom of Qatar has “gifted” Cornell almost $2 billion over the years. Qatar also payrolls Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, and other Islamist terrorist groups. Is it any wonder that Cornell is so friendly toward Hamas terrorists and their sympathizers?

Campus support for terrorism: F
- Antisemitism at Cornell University boomed after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. Cornell campus hosted pro-terror rallies celebrating the gruesome murder, rape, and abduction of over 1,200 people in Israel – among them at least 40 Americans. Hate-filled protesters marched around campus calling for “global intifada” (violence against Jews in Israel and abroad) and threatening Jewish students
- At one of these pro-terror rallies on campus, Cornell history professor Russell Rickford stated that he was “exhilarated” by the massacre
- In the subsequent weeks, Cornell campus filled up with antisemitic graffiti, including calls for a “new intifada”. Hundreds of antisemitic posters marked with swastikas were hung around campus. One Cornell student was arrested after making online threats to kill Jewish students. When you tolerate racist hate speech such as “global Intifada” it is only a matter of time until people begin to commit acts of racist violence
- Student rioters at Cornell also chanted in support of the Houthi terrorists in Yemen who have attacked American and European ships
- In late April, Students at Cornell Staged a pro-Hamas encampment on the Arts Quad. The encampment was disbanded after 18 days without police intervention
