Cornell University “Apologizes” To Ann Coulter After Students Shouting “Your Words Are Violence” Shut Down SpeechI leave campus for a couple of days and all hell breaks loose. And then pigs flew and Cornell University apologized for something.“We write as a group of liberals frustrated with the current campus hostility towards free speech and open dialogue.

Coulter is a controversial conservative pundit who graduated from Cornell in 1984. While at Cornell, she was a part of the Delta Gamma sorority and helped to found this very publication.
