The College Fix

The Cornell Review is reporting on the latest outrage at the Ivy League school.

Is it over the Cornell administrator recently caught on video shredding the Constitution because it’s supposedly “triggering,” its editors ask? No.

What about that Cornell administrators kicked a Fox News reporter off campus, or posters hung around campus that depicted the GOP as “Jihadi John”? No and no.

“Fear not, though, for we have finally discovered the true object of student, faculty, and alumni outrage: the proposed College of Business,” The Cornell Review reports.

The Faculty Senate passed a resolution in December asking trustees to table the proposal; this week the University Assembly passed a similar resolution; and of course the obligatory Facebook page against the proposal has already been launched, the Review reports, adding some alumni have even threatened to pull funding:

The point here is not to say the perturbed alumni should not pull their donations—they are free to do with their money as they so see fit. The point is to call into question why this particular issue has roused their spirits to such a degree, and not that Cornell administrators were caught on video shredding the U.S. Constitution because it is “triggering”, Cornell administrators kicked reporters from Fox News off campus despite not doing so toward reporters from any other media outlet, Cornell professors saying hiring Republicans would decrease faculty quality, President Garrett saying government should regulate speech to ‘serve a compelling state interest’, or the ILR School hanging posters depicting the GOP as “Jihadi John”.

There has been a lot more wrong at Cornell lately than the proposed College of Business.

Yes, God forbid a university actually create a division that could lead to viable jobs. What are they thinking?
