Cornell Student Arrested for Antisemitic Threats as Hochul Ramps Up Response to Campus Hate

In a troubling development, a Cornell University student has been arrested for posting violent antisemitic threats targeting Jewish students on campus. 21-year-old Patrick Dai is accused of threatening to slit peoples’ throats and shoot up kosher dining areas. This arrest comes amidst a sharp rise in hate crimes against Jews in New York. In response, Governor Kathy Hochul has taken swift action. She deployed increased state police presence at schools, earmarked funds for cracking down on hate crimes, and tasked a former Chief Judge with reviewing anti-discrimination policies. <a href="https://thelaymanspeaks.medium.com/cornell-student-arrested-for-antisemitic-threats-as-hochul-ramps-up-response-to-campus-hate-ca23e9dfdfbc">Website</a>
