For immediate release:

Addis Statement on the Cornell Seven - October 2, 2026 - I am absolutely disgusted by the allegations of sexual assault at Cornell University.

Addis Statement on the Cornell Seven - October 2, 2026 - ...justice. To the people who protected and encouraged this abuse and abuse like it: I am resolute in doing everything I can to put a stop to the sick and despicable harm you cause. I am grateful to Governor Hochul's and Attorney General Leticia James’ swift action and hope there will be true accountability.
