We need to continue to vigilantly report cases of sexual harassment in the academic community. See something, say something.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

Join me in my fight against harassment and related misconduct in French academic settings. Citing all current authors and contributors to the text. Thank you, Columbia Univeristy, for your time. I review the decisions and actions of 11/21/24 unfavorably.

Thanks for your letter to President Kotlikoff and faculty, Jane Doe.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Jane Doe wrote to Cornell University’s faculty that she felt “unsupported” and “disbelieved” by the school’s president after she reported being raped. https://t.co/iWYFAe82G7

@CBSNews The voice of France is what’s important. Yes, this should be condemned as should the terrorism.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

@DrMayaAngelou 👏

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

@cornellsun I’m in solidarity with you, Jane Doe.

[The Cornell Daily Sun @cornellsun]

Thousands of flags representing reports of sexual assault on campus were placed on the Arts and Agriculture Quads by a coalition of student organizations on the evening of Oct. 13, alongside chalked messages criticizing the University.

@NobelPrize Yes, it is important to hear and refind your voice and purpose. Always find and hear your own voice ! Believe in yourself is right ! Having others believe in you is important too.

@TheEconomist 💔 He has not be afforded one relenting break, this President. Macron’s heart is with France. He will keep fighting for his people. The people refuse to love him. His love for France and the Frenchmen is too deep and sincere. He is a president for the Frenchman.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

@NobelPrize @TED_ED Haha. I’ll circle back. I always said, « this is illogical!» The sky is blue - Not red.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

@NobelPrize I love this. Learning about woman and gender gaps has been a highlight! There are barriers for all woman. We’re fortunate for the progress we have made for this generation. I will never relent despite the barriers I have encountered. I will always love French and my field!

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

@NobelPrize Love you. ❤️

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

Cancel.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

The new spring 2026 course you published instead has been reported to the Title IX Office. You, Imane Terhmina, sexually harass victim and teach sexual harassment. This is very clearly outlined in the New York State Prevention Training. Again, I don’t want you to sexually harass.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

No. Firmly.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

I disagree. I feel deeply and extremely uncomfortable with the academic material presented to the students by the Professor(s).

[Academic Freedom Alliance @AFA_Alliance]

We sent a letter urging South Florida State College to reinstate Professor Vinita Prabhakar, who was terminated after she assigned an award-winning short story in her Freshman English II course.

Prabhakar had used Ottessa Moshfegh’s “Bettering Myself” for nearly a decade to teach narrative voice and characterization. After one student expressed discomfort, College President Fred Hawkins overrode the support of Prabhakar’s department chair, dean, and vice president and ordered her to stop teaching the story. She was then fired.

Our letter calls this out as a violation of the college's First Amendment obligations and its own policies. It concludes: "These types of egregious actions break the college’s own stated commitment to academic freedom and send a chilling message to other members of the faculty who must discuss difficult and controversial material as part of their teaching duties.”

Full letter here: https://t.co/99r5XhTL9A

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

Canceled.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

Cancel all of your seminars at Cornell, Imane.

Sexual harassment - No

The classes on « Fight » she instructs - No

« Fight »
« Bar fight » - Teach a serious class. Again, this one is on sexual harassment.

Stop teaching the course « fight. »

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

Done. No. See Jane Doe. Thanks. Review.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

Re. Jane Doe. Done ! Cornell firmly agrees. No.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

I reviewed this case stringently at Columbia University in winter 2024 among the field’s experts. Our aim is to condemn this behavior. Same issue at hand in 2026. Same victim. Same Professors. Why is this taught to brilliant Cornellians in academic settings? Why is it tolerated?

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

Re. Jane Doe. From CU. That’s clear. No.

[Catherine Cousins @VoilaCatherine]

The Professor teaching this material should stop immediately. Why is this appropriate academic or pedogocial material to circulate to members of the community or students while on “tenure-track, if it involves textbook definitions of sexual harassment?

[Reuters @Reuters]

Protesters calling for tougher action against sexual violence rallied outside the New York City courthouse where a Cornell University student stirred a national uproar by suing several campus fraternity members she accused of gang rape https://t.co/MGf2oHfmac
