Cornell University is threatening two graduate students, Momodou Taal and Amandla Thomas-Johnson, with losing their funding if they do not return to the U.S. for teaching this fall. This move comes after the university previously pledged support allowing them to complete their degrees abroad following targeting by the Trump administration related to pro-Palestine protest participation.
