Protests are not banned at Cornell, despite a moratorium on event permits. The Ithaca Common Council voted to pause permits for Cornell-affiliated events including parades, assemblies, special events or noise permits. However, the first amendment right to peaceful protest is still protected. Students protested on the the Cornell University campus this week in the wake of the Jane Doe lawsuit, outraged at how the school handled an alleged gang rape investigation two years ago in which nobody was criminally charged. #cornell #janedoe #ithaca #cornell7 #protest
