Sen. Gillibrand Urges End to Workplace Harassment

Lawmaker, Pollack advocate for work gender equality

By JULIA CURLEY and LOUISE XIE Sun Staff Wr ters

Sen Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N Y ) joined panelists for a conversation on workplace sexual harassment and encouraged the audience to embrace policies benefiting women in a talk hosted by Cornell’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations on Monday

“I believe fundamentally that we should care about one another Sexual assault and harassment come from a place where that principle simply does not exist,” Gillibrand said

Calling a culture where power and fear keep sexual harassment in the shadows “fundamentally toxic to an organization,” Gillibrand emphasized the need for wage equality, paid leave and an end to sexual harassment

tice is actually possible My job is to lift up their voices,” Gillibrand said

The senator seeks bipartisan support to outlaw taxpayer-funded settlements on issues of harassment, to allow survivors to decide whether or not to publicly disclose allegations and to end forced arbitration clauses in workplace agreements

Under forced arbitration, employees must disclose company grievances at an inoffice hearing under rules of nondisclosure and often waive their right to a constitutional trial

“This stops when we value all people When we value women or men who are harassed.”

“It’s wrong that just by signing an employee agreement you sign away your right to a jury trial,” Gillibrand said, while in conversation with President Martha E Pollack, following her speech

Gillibrand s cause against forced arbitration

These changes, according to Gillibrand, should begin in Congress

“This stops when we value all people When we value women or men who are harassed When we listen When we believe them When we create a system where jus-

Pollack, alongside a diverse group of Cornell professors and professionals, joined the discussion as panelists after Gillibrand’s opening remarks The panelists Mark E Brossman, Alexander Colvin, Prof Lisa Nishii, human resource studies, and Christine Pambianchi ’90 took up

According to Colvin, Cornell’s associate dean for academic affairs, forced arbitration is a common clause in the paperwork most employees sign on their first day of work

“These agreements between an entity and an employee create a power imbalance at the hearing,” said Pambianchi, senior vice president of human resources of the technology company Corning Incorporated

Beyond the legality of sexual harassment policies and best practices provided by Brossman, a partner at the law firm Schulte Roth & Zabel, the panelists also shared personal anecdotes “I graduated here in 1990 and embarrassingly, having spent four years in the ILR school, I didn’t take a single class on women

Upcoming Dick Cheney Speech Sparks Protest Plans

By SHAFAY MUNIR Sun Staff Writer

Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s planned appearance on Wednesday has sparked planned protests and varying student reactions as the campus anticipates the lessons he brings from his term in the White House and his predictions for America’s political future

Asociacion Latina The groups plan to demonstrate “considerately beside the venue to allow participants free right of entry and exit ”

Lombardi emphasized the importance of looking at longterm goals as well as short-term issues In the future, he hopes to see the University’s efforts extend beyond “taking care of the here and now, ” he said “I want to know that for whomever

Omar Din ’19, the College of Human Ecology representative for the Student Assembly, is working with an umbrella of activist student organizations to stage a “peaceful, ethically fair and inclusive demonstration” outside of Bailey Hall during Cheney’s speech to represent other political perspectives

The conglomeration of groups protesting Cheney’s appearance include Amnesty International, South Asian Council, Islamic Alliance for Justice and La

“The fact is that Cheney has never publicly apologized for any political, ethical or moral decision he’s made,” Din told The Sun He’s coming to give the photocopied speech he always gives unapologetically, perpetuating falsehoods to no challenge We just want to present the other side to create a dialectic ” Cornell Republicans president Austin McLaughlin ’18 has heard the talk of demonstrations across campus and defended the decision to invite Cheney “ to learn and listen” from a definitive figure of American history

McLaughlin said he “ encourages opposing opinions” but asked audience members inside Bailey Hall to refrain from protest

South Asian Council Awarded $5,000 to Promote Intersectionality

By AELYA EHTASHAM Sun Staff Wr ter

The South Asian Council received the James A Perkins Prize for Interracial and Intercultural Peace and Harmony, chosen from among 16 groups for their work in building a platform for the South Asian community

The prize, established and endowed by Thomas W Jones ’69, is given annually “ to the program or organization making the most significant contribution to furthering the ideal of university community while respecting the values of diversity,” according to a description of the reception, held in Willard Straight Hall on Monday

“It’s important to celebrate students and provide support for an institution like Cornell in terms of being an example to America about how to take our diversity and really make it a wonderful strength,” Jones said in his speech

“The Perkins Prize epitomizes the value that Cornell University should not only invite individuals from a variety of backgrounds, but it should also love them,” said Vijay Pendakur, dean of students “We must create a sense of belonging ”

SAC was honored for their work in creating the “Chai and Chat” dialogue series, receiving $5,000 toward more projects

Chai and Chat “ engages South Asian students, who are themselves diverse in language, religion and culture, as well as other identity groups across campus, ” President Martha E Pollack said

The series began “ as a small and informal way to get the South Asian community together,” said Aliza Adhami ’19, advocacy chair for SAC “But we ’ ve been very deliberate about creating more intersectional topics and programs to

broaden our reach and work with other communities within both the minority umbrella and campus at large ”

“We aim to spark dialogue about identity, what it means to be South Asian, whether you are Hindu, Muslim, Indian, Pakistani or one of the myriad of identities included under that term, ” Adhami said

Adhami recounted that as a Pakistani Muslim, the SAC has offered a platform “ to come together across religious, national, and ethnic divides ”

“South Asians have done so much for this country but we do not have a unified voice, and we hope to change that,” Adhami said

In the past, the SAC has addressed Islamophobia and anti-black sentiment within the South Asian community, queer identities, working-class South Asians, among other topics, all recognized by Pollack and Adhami during the reception

Chai and Chats aims to further the “inclusivity of intersectional social identities,” according to Shivani Parikh ’19, president of SAC

“We want to do more Chai and Chats so we can have a larger diversity of topics and of people,” Parikh said

Pendakur praised SAC’s events as representative of “how students can organize events that not only are fun but that bring different kinds of communities together to have really important dialogues about culture, history, power and identity in our communities ”

Pendakur also said that he was looking forward to the continued efforts of SAC to create coalitions, which are “about building bridges across differences in order to get something changed or done and caucuses are about building only within your own group ”

“I think the road that SAC is already traveling is focusing

S.A. Candidates Prioritize Safety

Campus climate contributes to students of color feeling unsafe, says candidate

By YUICHIRO KAKUTANI and KIKI VENTURA Sun News Editor and Sun Contributor

Student Assembly candidates laid out their legislative agendas to address a wide range of issues from campus safety to professionalism within the assembly at a forum hosted by the AL ANA Intercultural Board on Friday

Candidates agreed that campus safety is a priority issue for many students Abigail Hailu ’20, minority students liaison at-large candidate, said she thinks an “element of feeling unsafe as a person of color on this campus actually comes from the campus [climate] itself

“I think that there’s some parts of campus that you know are unsafe because of the social environments and climates,” Hailu said “I think a big part of [combatting] that is targeted diversity initiatives that are comprehensive and long term and institutionalized ”

Shraddha Harshvardhan ’20, undesignated representative at-large candidate, argued that to enhance campus safety, Cornell should be “ensuring that there are more lights” on campus and improving its late night transportation methods

“I really hope to make people feel safer in more isolated areas on campus, ” Harshvardhan said “[The Big Red Shuttle is] a really great way to go from 12 to 3 around campus in a safe mode of transportation I really want to help increase awareness of that and increase [its] frequency ”

Varun Devatha ’19, S A executive vice president and candidate for president, described the recent arrest of a former Cornellian possessing weapons and bombs as “really scary ” but cautioned against taking excessive measures to address campus safety

“The obvious solutions come back to the Blue Lights and the lighting on the Arts Quad and all these other things, where you feel unsafe at night,” Devatha said “But on top of that you don't want to militarize this campus ”

Dale Barbaria ’19, S A vice president of internal operations and candidate for president, said the handling of the process surrounding the defunding of the Cornell Cinema “ upset ” him He suggested that the Cornell Cinema controversy highlights larger issues with transparency and interactions with other organizations

“[It is] important that the S A , its appropriations committee and everyone else involved works with these organizations and treats them with a certain level of human decency,” Barbaria said “Every decision, every word that is made, that

needs to be written down, that needs to be posted somewhere committee reports should be public,” Barbaria added

Franco Uribe-Rheinbolt ’20, undesignated representative at-large candidate, who worked at Cornell Cinema when the defunding decision was being made, said “it was just very unprofessional ”

Joseph Anderson ’20, S A undergraduate representative to the University Assembly and candidate for executive vice president, also raised concerns about the professionalism of the Assembly, mentioning the lack of communication between representatives and their constituents

“Every person right here says we ’ re gonna reach out we ’ re gonna do this for the majority of representatives that doesn't happen,” Anderson said “That's the fundamental problem They're not held accountable by the own assembly so you got to make sure that their campaign promises are actually getting accomplished ”

To address these professionalism and communication problems, Jaewon Sim ’21, arts and sciences representative candidate, promised to improve the S A ’ s transparency by reforming its website

One of the things I’m working on is building the new S A website, which is at cornellsa com, and that is where we are going to post all the information about everything we ’ re doing,” Sim said “We also want to include a directory to student resources that people can go without hassle to find out who they should go to for help ”

on coalitions and I’d like to see them continue to invest in that,” he said

The organization hopes to channel the prize on a focus of “increasing intersectional programming,” according to Adhami

Parikh also said the money would help give support to SAC’s member organizations that are often turned away due to the previously small allocation given to SAC

“With the $5,000, we ’ re excited to be able to give more money to our dance teams and include intra-community awards at Mock Shaadi to celebrate the members of our community who have been doing really great work,” Parikh said

Chinese Protest Flyers Circulate

By YUICHIRO KAKUTANI and MEREDITH LIU Sun News Ed tor and Assistant News Ed tor

Anonymous organizers planted leaflets stating “Not My President” in red ink over a black and white portrait of China’s president Xi Jinping on the tables of Klarman Hall’s atrium as part of an international student mobilization on Thursday

The anonymous dissent at Cornell appears to be part of an international protest by Chinese students studying overseas who have distributed similar pamphlets in at least 12 different universities around the world, according to Foreign Policy

The anonymous organizers running the T w i t t e r account “Xi’s Not My P r e s i d e n t , ”which publicizes the protest from across the world, claimed when reached out to by The Sun that the campaign at Cornell was, judging by the style and content of the pamphlets, “related to [their] campaign ” The organizers requested anonymity to avoid potential retribution

body,” the pamphlet wrote “It is time to let him know that WE DISAGREE

The organizers explained that student organizations on campuses do not reach out to them prior to publicizing the cause; instead, they “ act spontaneously ”

“As organizers, we are not an organization we are just a group of Chinese citizens who work/study overseas and decided to speak up for our people at home,” the organizers told The Sun in an email

The organizers, who claimed that their movement has spread to over 30 schools located in nine countries, aim to raise awareness about the political situation in China and to e n c o u r a g e Chinese nationals to speak their mind

Not my president | Leaflets were anonymously distributed on tables in the Klarman Hall atrium

Xi ascended to his second term in office last Saturday, according to The New York Times A different variant of the leaflet distributed in Klarman said “I disagree about the president” in Chinese

The distribution of the pamphlets comes in the wake of Xi’s move to abolish term limits for the office he occupies

“Xi Jinping is abolishing term limits of his presidency through Chinese rubber stamp legislative

“ There is a large number of Chinese students studying overseas, and we think they have remained silent for too long after all, western educated students shall have the responsibility of serving as the main driven force of the modernization of China in future,” the organizers wrote Chinese students and students of the Chinese diaspora at Cornell reacted in different ways to the news of the protest, with some offering cautious support and others dismissing its causes

Weifeng Yang ’20 said he saw the protest pamphlets as a “positive thing” but was skeptical about whether it will lead tangible change

else walks into what I walk into, they are not going to face this stuff again ”

As part of trying to put diversity and inclusion at the center of his work, Lombardi highlighted the housing system as a key equity issue at Cornell

“There is an inequity of housing in who controls and dominates the housing space on this campus, he said “If you look across the spectrum of where the power lies within the housing structure and the housing system you see that it’s inequitable ”

The plans to create new dorms opening as early as 2021 are a way to “ create equity for all our students and try to minimize the power differentials that you see in various housing aspects on and around campus, ” according to Lombardi

Pendakur shifted the conversation to activism and working on solutions

Referring to his own experience as an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, he realized the importance of having committed and structured leaders

said “We have faced directly the onslaught of oppression and marginality That motivates us to want to be engaged in the long fight for social justice But the other part of facing oppression and marginality is it’s traumatizing ”

He drew on his own personal professional experiences in his early twenties to emphasize the importance of dealing with personal trauma

“Your sense of anger slips into a sense of rage Anger can be a useful tool for sustaining your work, [however] rage is a very difficult place to sustain social justice work,” Pendakur said “I found myself burning so hot, that I was burning the people around me ”

The ability to deal with trauma is important for resiliency for those interested in diversity and inclusion work, according to Pendakur He noted that it also helps cope with two important emotions anger and forgiveness

“It’s not enough to be ‘woke ’ You have to have the willingness and skill sets to move your organization forward.” V i j a y P e n d a k u r

“It’s not enough to be ‘woke ’ You have to have the willingness and skill sets to move your organization forward,” he said “Having some sense of strategy of about how we can carry ourselves in this work as equally important as our knowledge of the issues ”

Pendakur also focused on the importance self care in terms of trauma that people have experienced According to Pendakur, in the 20 years that he has engaged in social justice work, he has noticed that many people have experienced trauma themselves

“Many of us who are most attracted to this work are also carrying an immense amount of trauma, ” Pendakur

“Forgiveness is imperative if you are going to build coalitions,” he said “Coalitions are built across differences ”

The summit, heralded by Mayra Valadez ’18, S A vice president of diversity and inclusion, was a “goal of many of [her] predecessors ”

Representatives from organizations including the Cornell Lending Library, First Generation and Student Union, Peer Educators of Gender and Sexuality and Cornell University Sustainable Design led workshops throughout the summit

During the workshops, representatives from different groups questioned how to incorporate diversity and inclusion into their organizations and explored themes such as “making your organization more equitable” and inclusion of the LGBT community

of an effect back home,” Yang told The Sun “ The fact that the protest sheet is in English and with a hashtag styled after Anti-Trump movement says a lot about how Chinese students in the U S had been Americanized; if the students indeed want impact back home, perhaps more Chinese-focused stuff ”

“But if they just want to remind many of the Chinese students abroad who disagree with their own government that they are not alone out there (because in many ways having a dissenting voice, even in the US, can feel ver y lonely), they did a wonderful job, and I really appreciate that,” he added

Rong Tan ’20, on the other hand, dismissed Xi’s political ascendancy driving the protests as irrelevant to the wellbeing of the average Chinese citizen

“At least Xi is managing the countr y well for six years, ” Tan said “It does not affect my personal life, economic condition, or other problems like visa or Chinese citizenship Sometimes it may be better not to waste time on arguing which president to choose and all the other fake news, rumor, scandal stuff during election ”

Aaron Li ’20 said that he will refrain from joining in the protest given the opaque Chinese political situation in the wake of Xi’s ascendency

“At least for me I will not join the protest It’s too complicated and there’s so much information that I don’t know,” Li said “For example, I don’t know what’s going on in the Political Bureau of the [Communist Party of China] that made Xi announce it now ”

Letters to the Editor

In response to Cornell Republicans’ decision to bring Dick Cheney to campus

To t he Edi to r:

Dick Cheney should be in jail, because he is a war criminal He certainly should not be paid to speak with student tuition dollars He was a major player in instigating the Iraq War; he knew Iraq had no “ weapons of mass destruction” and he lied about it Cheney’s largest claim to fame, of course, is advocating torture Torture which we know does not even work He was also the CEO of Halliburton, and is a big advocate for anthropogenic climate change which will kill us all if war doesn’t get there first

You are too young to remember this, but all well informed people thought the Iraq War was a terrible idea, even if they weren ’ t privy to the details working within the Bush administration My grandfather was a lawyer for the World Bank He spent part of his career in Iran He was a Republican Leading up to the war, he likened an Iraq invasion to “opening up a can of worms ” and “Pandora’s Box” There is no doubt the war contributed to the rise of ISIS, so it appears he was right

Does it bother me that Dick Cheney is coming to Cornell to speak? Yes and no He is a horrifying person And I have some pride as an alum This is not “ my ” Cornell, I remember protesting the war with other alums at a huge rally in New York City Still, trotting out the worst possible people who are actively trying to burn the planet to the ground does more to harm your own party than anyone on the left ever could And for that I should be grateful If money in your pockets is the only thing you value as Republicans, it should bother you that we will all be paying for the Iraq War for a long, long time If the Cornell Republicans have any values at all, if you are not total nihilists, you all should make your case

No to natural gas trucking in Tompkins County

To t he Edi to r:

I was horrified to read the news in the Cornell Daily Sun that Ithaca police had stopped a potential lone wolf bomber: Maximilien R Reynolds ’19 I was unnerved to learn about what could have been a local massacre had it not been for a smart Walmart employee's tip Horrific as such an event as that would have been, I think it is important to alert people about a proposal put forward by NYSEG that poses an even greater, long term danger to the people in our community namely trucking (in what is known as “bomb trucks” )

Compressed Natural Gas or Liquefied Natural Gas through Dryden and Lansing along the route where the West Dryden pipeline would have been constructed

This alternative to the West Dryden pipeline is far more menacing Trucks being unloaded and loaded with these forms of natural gas puts us all in danger of the results of human error Car accidents are inevitable and could lead to explosions on public roads, the same roads that our school busses and neighbors travel on

This proposed "solution" is not a solution at all It poses great danger to public safety and does nothing to solve the main issue of our need to end local dependence on fossil fuels

Where is Cornell's voice in this issue? I thought Cornell was working to reduce emissions, while this idea of trucking natural gas would increase the county ’ s GHG emissions Students you are smart, and this town needs to hear your voices As we have seen from Parkland, it is the voice of the youth that can have real power Please hear me and use the skills that got you to Cornell to make a difference now in this town of which you are a part

Cornell Welcomes Another Torturer

On May 10, 2017 the Cornell Club of New York invited former US National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to promote her new book on “the global struggle for democracy and why America must continue to support the cause of human freedom ” It was an unfortunate choice, as Rice was one of the first officials of the George W Bush administration to have broken international and domestic law by approving torture of prisoners held at the Guantánamo Bay prison and so-called “black sites” run by the Central Intelligence Agency It is not clear whose idea it was to invite Secretary Rice to speak on, of all things, democracy and human freedom, but it was apparently a popular one, since the event sold out As a Cornell alumnus I was troubled to learn that our fellow graduates found it acceptable to honor former government officials responsible for some of the most heinous crimes and violations of human rights

Now some of our students are doing it again, as the Cornell Republicans host exVice President Richard Cheney The concern about honoring a torturer is not a matter of partisan politics, but of public record The decisions of Rice and Cheney, along with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other members of the National Security Council’s “Principals Committee” in the Bush White House to approve torture in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have been known since at least 2008 and have led to criminal investigations in Spain and Germany A 2012 report prepared for the U S Senate Intelligence Committee describes the decision process in detail, and an executive summar y was declassified and made public in 2014 Conspiracy to commit torture is illegal under US law and under the international convention against torture, to which the United States is a party Many of our students are aware that as a matter of law the crime of torture falls under the category of jus cogens, along with such practices as genocide and slavery; it would be recognized as a crime even if it were not subject to treaty or domestic law, and weakening the ban on torture (“derogation”) is not permitted under any circumstances including national emergency or war Those are the terms of the treaty the United States signed, and of the domestic law adopted under our Constitution It is also a matter of public record what the Bush administration’s torture regime entailed among many other crimes, the extensive physical and psychological abuse of Abu Zubaydah Mistaken for a top al Qaeda leader (he was not even a member of the organization) Abu Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times, kept in a coffinsized box for 180 hours, thrown against walls, deprived of sleep to the point of psychosis, and subject to other unspeakable horrors As the Senate report confirms, Condoleezza Rice gave explicit permission on behalf of the White House for the CIA to carry out those crimes When challenged by students at Stanford, where she taught for many years and served as Provost, she shifted the blame to President Bush, claiming, “by definition, if it was authorized by the president, it did not violate our obligations under the Convention Against Torture ” Rice’s statement reminded many of President Richard Nixon’s similar attempt to excuse his numerous crimes: "When the president does it, that means it is not illegal " Unlike Rice, ex-Vice President Cheney has not tried to excuse his approval of torture He rejects the term in favor of the

euphemism, “enhanced interrogation,” but he has called the practices "absolutely, totally justified," and said, “if I had to do it over again, I would do it " In a 2014 interview on Meet the Press, Cheney was reminded of the scores of innocent people caught up in the “Global War on Terror,” many of them tortured and some beaten to death in prisons at Abu Ghraib in Iraq and Bagram air base in Afghanistan, subjected to sexual abuse in the form of forced nudity, “rectal feeding,” and “rectal hydration ” Chuck Todd nearly begged Cheney to express remorse for at least the innocent victims, which he estimated to be about a quarter of the captives, but to no avail: “I'm more concerned with bad guys who got out and released than I am with a few that, in fact, were innocent,” insisted Cheney “I have no problem as long as we achieve our objective ”

As critics had anticipated, President Barack Obama’s decision not to prosecute the officials responsible for torture, even as he denounced the practice himself, left the door open for torture ’ s return President Donald Trump, an open advocate of waterboarding and “ a hell of a lot worse ” other torture methods, has just appointed as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Gina Haspel, who had been serving as deputy director The New York Times has reported that as a clandestine agent in 2002, Haspel was dispatched “ to oversee a secret prison in Thailand” where CIA contractors waterboarded an al Qaeda suspect and subjected him to other “brutal interrogation techniques ” The practices were so horrendous that some of the CIA employees “broke down emotionally” when obliged to obser ve them Trump’s appointment of Haspel raises doubts about U S commitment to international and domestic law for-

bidding torture

U S soldiers, if instructed to carr y out the policies Trump favors, would violate

Conventions as well as domestic militar y law That is one reason why so many militar y veterans, including more than forty retired generals, Republicans, Democrats, a

against the normalization of torture dur-

Trump’s own Secretar y of Defense James Mattis has thrown cold water on the President’s enthusiasm for torture and has vowed to uphold US and international law Senator John McCain a torture victim himself during the Vietnam War has been a particularly outspoken opponent of the practice

The Cornell Republicans could have chosen any number of Republican political figures to honor with an invitation to our campus One can only hope that their decision to invite Cheney was a function of ignorance of his criminal record as a

endorsement of the illegal and immoral practices of the current administration and its predecessors

Big Name Leaves Pixar

Two weeks ago, I wrote about Coco’s win at the Oscars, and reflected on the film and what it meant A couple days after though, a story broke in the Hollywood Reporter Darla Anderson, the producer behind Coco and a long time Pixar veteran, announced on March 8 that she would be departing the studio She released a statement saying, “I’ve had a magical and privileged experience working at Pixar for over two decades The creativity, imagination, and innovation at Pixar is second to none I’m truly grateful to have been a part of this historic journey, and hold excitement for my next chapter ” A n d e r s o n walks out of the studio as a cinematic giant Her credits include not only Coco, but also Toy Story 3, Cars, Monsters Inc , and A Bug’s Life She’s one of the most successful producers in Hollywood these days In fact, in 2008 Guinness listed her as having the highest average gross income for her produced movies: $221 million She’s mentored many female produc-

ers within the studio, and has been an outspoken advocate for LGBT rights and women ’ s empowerment She certainly has a strong career ahead of her

One of the biggest questions is, though, why did she leave? No statements offer any clues: Disney’s CEO Bob Iger, Pixar chief Jim Morris, and Ed Catmull (president of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation) all released statements thanking Anderson for her work with the company and wishing her well It may simply be that she wishes to move on to s o m e t h i n g new It might be an issue that we, the public, are simply not yet aware of H o wever, her departure is not the only one from Disney

Pixar recently John Lasseter has continued to be officially on “ temporary ” leave It’s still unlikely he’ll actually return After all, with Disney’s brand, there’s little room for a man accused of sexual harassment

However, with every day without an announcement otherwise, his return seems

more of a possibility The studio has kept the situation cloe to chest, which means we can only speculate over the situation inside

At the Golden Globes, Anderson deflected a backstage question about Lasseter and Pixar’s efforts to improve the workplace The studio has kept the situation close to the chest, which means we can only speculate

We can also speculate over her timing Her departure right after accepting the Oscar for Coco makes one wonder, did she make this decision a while ago and simply put off the announcement until after the Academy Awards? If so, when did she decide? That crucial “when” is an important part to figuring out the reason, but it’s missing for now

And finally, the other big question: what does this mean for Pixar? Anderson had joined all the way back 1993, and helped guide the studio through its rapid ascent to fame Her absence will be felt in the coming years It also sparks concern in my head: the studio’s founder has departed in disgrace, and now, a key producer has also left I can ’ t help but wonder for the future of the studio

To be sure, there are still plenty of wonderfully talented artists at Pixar I just question if they will remain there

I truly hope that Darla Anderson continues producing more movies She’s overseen

some fantastic work, and if she continues, I have no doubt we’ll see even more amazing films with her name on them In the week since her departure, no more has been heard from Pixar I’ve said before, and I’ll say it again here, I want nothing but success for this studio and the people working there So I’m keeping a close eye on this story ’ s progression I’ll also be keeping an eye out for Darla Anderson though, and I look forward to her future successes

A t t h e e n d o f T h e O d y s s e y ,

O d y s s e u s f i n a l l y j o u r n e y s b a c k from the fallen city of Troy to Ithaca, where he once reigned as king Disguised, Odysseus finds his kingdom infested with once-loyal s u i t o r s c o m p e t i n g f o r O d y s s e u s ’ wife’s, Penelope, hand in marriage After skillfully shooting an arrow through twelve axes to prove his i d e n t i t y i n a n ow i c o n i c s c e n e , O d y s s e u s , a l o n g w i t h h i s s o n Telemachus, in rage, proceeds to slay ever y single one of the suitors in barbarous fashion

The epic poem, attributed to Homer, was composed in oral tradition by a rhapsode, a classical Greek p e r f o r m e r o f e p i c p o e t r y Ap p r o p r i a t e l y, t h e p l a y O d y s s e u s Wounded, by Nathan Chazan ’19, f o r m e r Su n a r t s c o l u m n i s t , a n d Alexander Lugo ’19 was per formed as a live reading The play follows t h e e v e n t s o f T h e O d y s s e y , a s Te l e g o n o s , t h e b a s t a r d s o n o f O d y s s e u s a n d C i r c e , s e e k s t h e throne of his father

The 1 hour and 30 minute play contained all of the stylistic elem e n t s o f T h e O d y s s e y, f u l l o f g r a n d i o s e l i t e r a r y a n d p o e t i c devices, digressions and gor y detail Yet, at once I noticed a divergence in the mood and spirit of the play compared to the Greek epic The Odyssey glorifies violence: the sheer number of lives taken defines a character’s greatness and courage, and it is seen as a natural reflex and response for an unjust act such as cour ting with a married woman Vie wing the bloodsoaked bodies of the suitors now scattered across the kingdom following the slaughter, Eu r y k l e i a , O d y s s e u s ’ n u r s e , exclaims in triumph No such glor y in Odysseus Wounded Odysseus is h a u n t e d a n d c o n f r o n t e d b y t h e ghosts of the suitors, per formed by the playwrights themselves

The play is based on the lost poem Telegony, an intended sequel

Sophocles Perhaps this is why it contains elements of incest, sexual and domestic violence, and infantic i d e , s i g n a t u r e t o S o p h o

tragedy Oedipus Rex The bastard son Telegonos, after hearing from Athena the name of his father, aimed not only to overthrow Odysseus, but also to marr y Penelope, his own mother With his supernatural spear, Telegonos kills

lament it after ward Penelope, portrayed as a loyal wife of Odysseus

return in The Odyssey, appears tormented and agonized in her existence, lamenting her inability to find love in this world The gloomy and murky tone persists throughout the play, and it was eerily fascinating to see such a dark spin on the familiar Greek poem I saw Odysseus Wounded in Risley Theater on a Friday evening The small, dark room was the optimal location for an immersive experience The yells and shouts from a passionate and talented cast reverberated throughout the theater as an entranced audience looked on At one point, a cast member walked on the steps to where people were seated, talking directly to the audience While the play does demand a cer tain level of knowledge of The Odyssey, often throwing esoteric references without much explanation, it was captivating just to watch the cast emote the feelings of characters, even when I was not completely cer tain of their intentions

The playwrights mentioned that Odysseus Wounded was still a work in progress I hope once they have refined the play to their satisfaction, that they would re-open the show for a greater body of audience, if it could handle the mature themes presented in the play

Pambianchi said “I thought that was all fixed in the sixties when I went to work at 21 years old, I realized that wasn ’ t the case There’s still a lot of work to be done ” Nishii, an associate professor in the ILR school, gave an academic reading on the state of affairs by citing the effects of ingrained power imbalances and the significance of gender harassment in addition to sexual mistreatment

Wi t h i n c re a s i n g w o rk f o rc e diversity, along with social media activism and legal action, the panelists hope and believe that f u t u re e m p l oye e s w i l l w i t n e s s change

“We now have a generation of leaders in very senior levels of companies who have daughters entering the workforce We didn’t h a ve t h i s b e f o re , ” s a i d

Pambianchi “There’s this sudden awareness in which very senior male executives have well-educated daughters with firsthand experience of workplace harassment There’s much greater engagement on the issues ”

When the lecture hall opened up for audience questions, one attendee took to the microphone Pastor Michael-Vincent Crea ’78, who had stood and wore a “Me too both of you never responded to ‘F’” sign while Pollack and Gi l l i b r a n d s p o k e , vo i c e d h i s grievances on a sexual harassment experience of his own

“What good are our laws if we do not create a system of justice that puts people instead of property, privilege and corporations first?” he asked

After the event, Crea got into a heated argument with representatives from the Cornell University Police Department outside the auditorium CUPD investigator Stanley Slovik issued him a persona non grata, prohibiting him from returning to the Cornell campus

“People are free to express

their opinions, it’s part of a topic that is this heated and controversial I wish it wasn ’ t as disruptive t

, ” To m Addonizio, assistant dean of communications and marketing for the ILR school, told The Sun after the event

Following the talk, the ILR school held a panel featuring Brossman, lawyer Diane Rosen and Cornell vice president and c h i e f h u m a n re s o

Mar y Opperman, who offered advice and insight to students looking for employment

“I think it’s a really important moment in time,” Rosen told The Sun “There’s a lot of focus and attention on the issue of harassment in the workplace, and it’s an opportunity to share with students what it means to be out in the workplace and to help you have the tools to navigate your own jobs ”

“Most females are harassed at w

very impactful

interest in the panel for its “useful advice, especially now that it’s not to say that harassment hasn’t happened in the past, but that it’s more in the spotlight ”

“Part of what I would encourage as you go into your workplace is learn as much as you can before you need any of these resources, to know what your resources are, ” Opperman said, “ so that if you need them early, you know where to go to find them and have those conversations so that you remain empowered ”

“Seeing [Farinholt] out on the field and playing really helps to keep me motivated during some of the low points in my recover y process, ” Tadie said “It has also been so helpful hearing she went through similar experiences as me and faced the same fears as she was trying to get back to playing ” Farinholt helps her teammates with the mental game at least as much as with the physical aspects of lacrosse

Whether it’s on the field, on the sidelines or in the weight room, one thing is certain Farinholt’s

“Seeing her doing so well gives me a lot of hope and reminds me that coming back is doable with hard work.”
