Content warning: discussion of rape and sexual assault

The Columbia Open Discourse Alliance (CODA) Executive Board
unequivocally condemns the article “The ‘Cornell Seven’ Is Really
About Liberalism,” published yesterday in the Columbia Sundial.

CODA exists because we believe in free expression and the open exchange
of ideas, including ideas we disagree with. But open discourse requires that
every member of our community be able to speak. This article does the
opposite: it promotes rape culture and works to silence survivors of
sexual assault. It is therefore not a contribution to debate but a step
backward.

We want to be abundantly clear: The authors of this article are not
affiliated with CODA, and their views do not reflect our values. We want
to emphasize that we refuse to have CODA associated with this article in
any way.

Our panel event scheduled for tonight, “Who Gets to Tell the Story? Press
Freedom and the Public Square,” will not take place. We do not take this

decision lightly and want to explain why we made it. To that end, we will
be sharing a statement later today.

We stand firmly with survivors and with Jane Doe.

The Columbia Open Discourse Alliance (CODA)
Executive Board
