Tried hard to find out about this; here's the only tidbit of info that I could locate:
Cornell did confirm the display was removed but claims it was because it was part of a "temporary exhibit" that ended in 2021.
President Lincoln's bust was part of a temporary exhibit on the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. The bust was on display in the Rare and Manuscript Collections from 2013 to 2021," Rebecca Valli, director of media relations at Cornell University, told TND in an email. Cornell proudly possesses one of five known copies of the Gettysburg Address in Lincoln's hand," Valli explained in the email. "The original is safely sequestered, with a digital facsimile on permanent display. Additionally, five electronic Lincoln exhibitions are available for 24/7 viewing online.

"Someone complained, and it was gone," Wayne said.

Perhaps the person who complained was a Confederate sympathizer; President Lincoln was not exactly a popular figure in the South.

Yes, the folks who changed parties from Dem to Repub after the Dems said it's not okay to force black people to sit at the back of the bus and drink from different water fountains.
Those who couldn't stomach these changes found a welcoming home in the GOP.
