Piers Morgan eviscerates Ivy League student who refused to work 'for a Jew' as 'brazenly' antisemitic
Cornell said the message violated job-board rules and reported the student to civil rights officials after the post drew more than 2 million views.
- On Tuesday, Cornell University student Austin Franco defended his refusal to work for "a Jew" during an appearance on "Piers Morgan Uncensored," also calling Israel "a genocidal country."
- Franco's broader antisemitic rhetoric surfaced last week in an undercover conversation with Accuracy in Media, where he discussed Holocaust denial and racial hierarchy, telling investigators "it might not have been the smartest thing to say."
- In a statement issued late Wednesday, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff called Franco's comments "detestable" and "ignorant," though he stated the university plans no further action against the student.
- Franco announced on X on Wednesday that his parents are evicting him, prompting far-right supporters to launch crowdfunding campaigns that have raised roughly $25,000 for his housing costs.
- This incident challenges Cornell's efforts to balance antisemitism concerns with free speech protections, a tension underscored by the university's $60 million settlement with the Trump administration last year over campus unrest.
