Why we used this label
The author expressly criticizes mitigation in Cornell's disciplinary process. Rejecting simplified accounts does not erase that criticism.
Cornell says its investigation led to expulsions and suspensions. Critics say its response to the Chi Phi allegations was inadequate and opaque. The civil complaint mentions essays as a way to mitigate conduct, not as the only sanction.
