It emphasizes the dangers of drug use,specifically highlighting the role of hard drugs like ketamine,which where reportedly used during a night involving alcohol,partying,and potential sexual misconduct.The author criticizes the focus on consent and sexual regret in the media,arguing that the more critical problem is the consumption of perilous drugs that impair judgment and lead to risky situations. Evidence from text messages suggests that the woman involved had been under the influence of ketamine, which could explain her emotional distress afterward. The article advocates for college students, especially women, to avoid hard drugs to prevent harmful consequences. It concludes with a reminder that underage drinking is common but still risky, and warns that engaging in drug use, particularly with drugs like ketamine, can have severe repercussions, as illustrated by ongoing lawsuits and potential criminal charges. The overarching message is to prioritize staying in school and making safer choices regarding drug use.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nXFqIt7YghM\" target=\"_blank\">ABC\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/10\/09\/the-cornell-7-lesson-dont-do-drugs-stay-in-school\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=The \u2018Cornell 7\u2019 Lesson: Don\u2019t Do Drugs, Stay In School&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/10\/09\/the-cornell-7-lesson-dont-do-drugs-stay-in-school\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=The \u2018Cornell 7\u2019 Lesson: Don\u2019t Do Drugs, Stay In School&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/10\/09\/the-cornell-7-lesson-dont-do-drugs-stay-in-school\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/10\/09\/the-cornell-7-lesson-dont-do-drugs-stay-in-school\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=The \u2018Cornell 7\u2019 Lesson: Don\u2019t Do Drugs, Stay In School&#038;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/10\/09\/the-cornell-7-lesson-dont-do-drugs-stay-in-school\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\">                     <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print();

Especially when it involves a group of men.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t know yet what exactly happened in October 2024 at the Chi Phi fraternity house with Jane Doe. We probably never will. But all public evidence currently indicates a 20-year-old woman got drunk at a sorority house, went to a couple of bars, then went to a frat house where she met a male friend and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/cornell-student-2024-statement-police-reveals-new-details-rcna600803\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">initially agreed<\/a> to a threesome that ultimately included drugs and may have included other men.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one begrudges a college student, whether male or female, drinking underage. If she\u2019s legally old enough to have died for her country, she can have as many drinks as she wants (so long as she\u2019s not caught). But drinking comes with consequences. Everything does. That includes consuming hard drugs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jane Doe reportedly said in other text messages days after the night of partying that she could only \u201csleep and cry all day.\u201d Without concluding whether she was raped, that testimony isn\u2019t discernibly different from any person who has done hard drugs and is on a come-down. Drugs like ketamine create a hyper sense of euphoria while it\u2019s in the system. And once it\u2019s gone, the user crashes. Depression and anxiety are normal. Those feelings are almost certainly heightened when the user engaged in risky behavior while under the influence. That\u2019s true whether it\u2019s ketamine or alcohol or Adderall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a lawsuit playing out and now, potential criminal charges. Regardless, there\u2019s a big lesson to be learned. Don\u2019t do drugs and just stay in school.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FR8XCMYC\">Traitors: The Democrat Party\u2019s Collapse into Anti-American Filth<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-30 bdr-top-bold-black\">\n<div class=\"row g-0 align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n<div class=\"article-author-profile d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-md-start\">\n<div class=\"article-author-details\">\n<div class=\"label-md\">Eddie Scarry<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author-twitter label-sm d-flex align-items-center mt-10\">             <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter me-5\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>             <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Visit on Twitter<\/span>            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eScarry\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-decoration-none\">@eScarry<\/a>           <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 d-flex justify-content-center justify-content-md-end mt-15 mt-md-0\">        <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/author\/eddiescarry\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">More Articles<\/a>     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-tags no-print bdr-top-black mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-15 pt-md-45\">\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center mb-0 mx-n10 p-0\">\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/metoo\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">#MeToo<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/cornell\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Cornell<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/cornell-7\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Cornell 7<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/drugs\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">drugs<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/education-2\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">education<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/ketamine\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">ketamine<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Focus on avoiding drugs, not just consent issues<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2679983,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Cornell-1.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[86994,5152,64791,37809],"class_list":["post-2679982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-drug-prevention","tag-education","tag-school-programs","tag-teen-safety"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Cornell-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2679982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2679982"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2679982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2679986,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2679982\/revisions\/2679986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2679983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2679982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2679982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2679982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
