Rule changes by the Office of Housing and Residential Life regarding murals in dorms have prompted Risley to choose to paint over more than 100 murals in the University’s Creative and Performing Arts program house.
At around 2:10 p.m. on Tuesday, the Cornell community received a CornellALERT to “shelter in place.” “CornellALERT: Ithaca Campus Shelter in Place – North Campus – Local Police persuing [sic] man with gun in Cayuga Heights north of campus,” the alert read.
When you first see Morrison Dining Hall, you may ask yourself, “Am I at Cornell or Hyatt Regency?”
With the expansion of North Campus, some freshmen have had the privilege of enjoying the new gym and dorms. If you’re thinking,“Why is our tuition so expensive?” Now you know. But, before I give you a sneak peek of Morrison Dining Hall (which opens in Spring 2022), I want to offer some good news: you can have a hotel-quality lunch at Morrison every Thursday! So, if you feel like eating at an on-campus Shake Shack or Panera Bread, next Thursday is your chance. Anyways, let’s explore Morrison Dining Hall together! How’s the interior?
Students living in the newly constructed North Campus dorms report infrastructure problems and a lack of community.
The class of 2025 are the first to move into the new dorms part of the North Campus expansion.
Weeks after North Campus residents were asked to receive an additional COVID test each week, compliance with the new policy has proven difficult for students.
President Martha Pollack blamed Cornell’s move to the yellow alert on students not following public health guidelines.
North campus construction continues, staying on track despite the pandemic but disrupting student lifestyles.
As thousands of students were set to move into dorms in August, more than 50 residential advisers decided to go on strike, citing low pay and inadequate resources as their main sources of worry.
Titles are symbolic, of course, but they also carry weight. When the buildings on a university campus are named for robber barons and captains of industry, that says something about the institution, and about the purpose of the education we receive. In buildings that bear the name of the highest bidder, are we not being told — perhaps subtly, perhaps brutally — that our post-collegiate life also belongs to whatever entity makes the winning offer? So it was with real pride that I read that new North Campus dormitories were being named not for mega-donors, but for those whose lives set a stunning and wondrous example. Toni Morrison M.A. ’55.
