WSKG’s Phoebe Taylor-Vuolo spoke with WSKG Ithaca reporter Aurora Berry about the potential impact of Cornell’s plan to cut costs in the wake of federal challenges to universities.

Cornell is the largest employer in Tompkins County. The university cited a loss of federal funding as one reason for the budget cuts.

Activists from the climate justice group Cornell on Fire say similar protests have occurred in the past without disciplinary action.

The study showed that cold weather significantly increased how much energy was used by the buses' batteries.

Across the country, over 1,000 international students have reportedly had their legal status changed by the federal government.

Risa Lieberwitz, president of Cornell’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors, says Cornell should stand up against potential demands from the White House.

The protesters were charged with disorderly conduct during a Cornell University event last month about Israel and Palestine.

This comes after pro-Palestinian grad student and plaintiff Momodou Taal had his visa revoked by the U.S. Department of State.

Just days prior to Tuesday's hearing, one of the plaintiffs was informed that his visa was revoked by the U.S. Department of State.

In a court filing Friday, lawyers representing Momodou Taal revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice emailed them asking the international graduate student to appear at Homeland Security offices. Taal would then be surrendered to ICE custody.
