ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – No charges have been filed after students brought a dead bear into a Cornell dormitory.
A University spokesperson says the two unnamed undergraduates are both licensed to hunt in New York, and they took the bear legally over the weekend.
The pair brought the animal to a communal kitchen in Ganedago Hall to skin and process. A police report was filed late Sunday night after a complaint.
Cornell did not respond to inquiries about potential conduct violations, the bear’s age, or whether the students stored their weapons in the residence hall.
According to the Cornell Daily Sun, the kitchen is closed until further notice.
