The Museum of the Earth, however, is in imminent danger of closing its doors. After more than 90 years of contributions to paleontological research and over two decades of service to the Ithaca and Cornell community as a museum, this invaluable institution now faces severe financial struggles and may need to close its doors for good.
Daylight savings changes our lives, whether we know it or not. Climate change adds another wrinkle.
Criticism of the Chinese government is not an insult to the Chinese student community at Cornell University, nor can acting as a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party fully represent all Chinese students. These truths should be self-evident. At Cornell, the critique and resistance against the political violence of the Beijing regime never stopped.
While we must critique and reform systems that enable such atrocities, we must not see rape culture as an exogenous issue.
Tell your representatives to vote for his removal.
No one prepared me for the heartbreak of losing my mother tongue. At Cornell, I acutely feel disconnected from the Russian language.
Kotlikoff owes Cheyfitz an apology. But he owes the University community something more. He owes us an affirmative, public commitment that going forward University leadership will not respond to inquiries about individual faculty, students or staff with anything beyond a statement of Cornell’s commitment to academic freedom and free inquiry.
Valdez justified the statement by citing ignored reports of messages inciting harm against others. Have we reached a state where it is acceptable to respond with violence to equally harmful statements?
Cheyfitz’s course is cause for concern. He should not be able to promulgate his anti-Zionist views in the classroom.
However, Rate My Professor reviews barely differ in their form from course evaluations, as both ask for written opinions on course and professor performance. If one student were to have written an especially poor review on Rate My Professor, the natural inference is that they would do the same for Cornell’s official course evaluations. To this effect, it is not particularly surprising that Rate My Professor shows correlation with course evaluations, considering they solicit identical forms of student feedback.
