Through an atypical semester where most parts of campus were put on hold, Cornell continued its North Campus construction.
Thanks to the Ithaca winter, students are increasingly forced away from the outdoor spaces that have become a critical social nexus as a result of COVID-19 safety guidelines.
Letter to the Editor:
On Oct. 8, President Martha E. Pollack announced that two of the residence halls under construction on North Campus will be named after two of Cornell’s most accomplished alumnae: Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and Toni Morrison M.A. ’55. In the coming years, new students at Cornell will be reminded daily of the legacies left by these outstanding women. Buildings at colleges and universities are often named for donors whose generosity enabled their construction. But occasionally, such as with debt-financed residence halls, universities have the opportunity to select names that recognize distinguished individuals or represent our core values.
Students from states on New York’s travel restriction have started their mandatory 14-day quarantines, and thousands of Cornellians are set to move into dorms this week. One first-year said the quarantine isn’t too bad, “but it definitely doesn’t feel like college.”
Resident advisors say Cornell isn’t doing enough to protect them. One R.A. said he and his colleagues are working extra without overtime or hazard pay. “I don’t see how this will last a semester,” he said.
First-year students are scattered across the world, adjusting to quarantine as many cities and states adopt social distancing measures
The University has halted construction on the North Campus Residential Expansion project until further notice, following new state regulations in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
As parents flooded campus and “I’ll miss you”s floated through residence hall stairwells, some first-year students fled campus as soon as President Martha E. Pollack’s Friday email reached their inboxes. Residence halls are emptying, and other first-years are packing up to leave Cornell in the upcoming days.
Damage to cars ranged from upward-bent license plates to snapped–and even stolen–windshield wipers.
