The decisions were made at the end of a charged meeting in which students from the audience interrupted the remarks of the university's Jewish president, Prof. Michael Kotlikoff, booed him and asked, "What about responsibility for genocide?" until he was forced to leave the hall. The main resolution passed yesterday calls on the university to end its partnership with the Technion in the Cornell-Tech campus project on Roosevelt Island in New York, citing the Israeli body's involvement in human rights violations and the explicit accusation of genocide by Israel in the Iron Sword War. The text of the resolution stated that "a partnership with an institution involved in the development of military technologies and surveillance infrastructure is inconsistent with Cornell's stated values."
