A former Cornell University student has been sentenced to nearly two years in prison for making threats to kill members of the university's Jewish community. The former student, identified as Patrick Dai, received a 21-month prison term followed by three years of supervised release.
Dai was arrested in October after posting antisemitic threats in an online forum while he was a junior at the Ivy League school. He pleaded guilty to making threats using interstate communication and admitted to threatening to harm Jewish individuals and targeting Cornell's kosher dining hall.
