He said to his face that he would not work for a Jew.“Right now they (Cornell) have said there’s nothing going after them. I think because I haven’t said anything that could be classified as hateful. There really wasn’t any steps they could take to pursue it,” Franco said on what his future looks like at Cornell.Franco expressed no remorse for his open hatred of Jews and doubled down on it. He thinks that the controversy could have been avoided.Cornell came under criticism after the secret video revealed that he took no action against her. The New York Post quoted a Cornell spokesperson, who cited the university’s previous statement that Cornell condemns anti-Semitism and that the incident had been referred to the Cornell Office of Civil Rights for investigation.Franco responded to the undercover reporting and said it was sad that everything he told her about the meeting was a lie. “The organization is called “Justice in the Classroom.” She said they want to help and offer assistance in life after college. The donation mentioned providing $5k, job opportunities, etc. At the end of the meeting, Hope said she would speak with Mark, who would decide if it was worth it for tax purposes for the donor to contribute. “It’s sad that they were being dishonest,” Franco said.
