He responded to the university's newspaper, the Cornell Sun. https://www.cornellsun.com/article/2026/06/student-writes-not-interested-in-working-for-a-jew-on-handshake-cornell-reports-bias-incident

Franco found out Gabe and Aiden were Jewish based on their “first and last name, LinkedIn, and physiognomy,” according to a statement Franco wrote to The Sun.

Physiognomy is an 18th and 19th century practice of studying facial features to determine character and temperament. The practice is now regarded as pseudoscience.

Yeah. He said that. Out loud. To the school paper because he thought that was a valid defense.

Franco learned about the X post on Monday morning and wrote that he began facing doxxing and intimidation, which included “digging up personal information, harassing via email and phone employers, and receiving threats,” according to a statement from Franco to The Sun.

You mean like what Jews have been dealing with more and more the last few years from the people you're probably associated with? Pobrecito. I'd say this could be a really good opportunity for empathy, but we all know it won't be.

Edit: Oh my god, it's even better:

The whole debacle caused undue stress for my family, and they were assumed guilty by association.

So Cornell teaches no self-awareness whatsoever.
