| Cornell trustees back Jewish president after anti-Israel students mob his car [IsraelTimes] Michael Kotlikoff will not pursue complaints against student and non-student protesters, who are also cleared in investigation following April 30 incident. Cornell University’s Jewish president will not be penalized for a recent campus altercation with pro-Palestinian protesters who had surrounded his car following a campus debate on Israel, an investigation by the university concluded Friday. The Ivy League school’s Board of Trustees issued a statement of support for Michael Kotlikoff following an investigation into the April 30 incident. Kotlikoff had recused himself from the investigation, which wrapped after eight days. “President Kotlikoff has shown a steadfast commitment to Cornell’s values and principles, and we are confident he will continue to lead with integrity,” a Friday statement from the board’s ad hoc investigation committee concludes. So magnanimous: The students attacked him, the university will not punish him. Israel President scraps appearance at Jewish Theological Seminary after objection from pro-Palestinian students [IsraelTimes] President says unspecified ‘circumstances’ preventing his travel to Conservative Judaism flagship in New York; chancellor slams ‘public media spectacle’ around campus controversy. President Isaac Herzog has canceled an in-person commencement speech at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, the chancellor of the flagship Conservative institution said, after some students and alumni accused Herzog of having incited violence against Palestinians. In a May 12 letter shared Thursday by JTS, Chancellor Shuly Rubin Schwartz, Herzog said he could not attend the May 19 ceremony because of unspecified “circumstances that prevent my travel to New York at this time,” the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported. Rubin Schwartz said Herzog, who was set to receive an honorary degree at the ceremony, would address the gathering virtually and would be awarded the degree in person at a later date.

Sheryl WuDunn, a journo who jointly won a Pulitzer with hubby Kristoff, was named last week as vice chair of the executive committee of Harvard’s Board of Overseers, the university’s second-highest governing body, according to the Harvard Crimson. The appointment triggered online backlash from supporters of Israel still furious over Kristof’s explosive May 11 op-ed that alleged widespread Israeli abuse of Palestinian detainees, a piece experts blasted as distorted.
