The email provides four types of resources available to the community: preparation, immediate assistance, immigration support and emotional and academic support. In the case where immediate assistance is necessary, Wolford encouraged community members on the Ithaca campus to call the Cornell University Police Department at 607‑255‑1111. The email statement was released a day after ICE agents arrested Columbia University graduate student Elmina Aghayeva, according to The Columbia Spectator. International Services is available at the Ithaca campus, Student & Academic Affairs is available at Cornell Tech and Weill Cornell Medicine offers International Student Services. Cornell administration is continuing to monitor the situation at Columbia, Wolford wrote in the email.
