Do you think he has the guts to make her tonight’s Worst Person in the World recipient?

He could do so, and shred her with the facts...like the fact that the Agricultural Business program has an acceptance rate of only 1 in 18 and is ranked #4 in BusinessWeek for undergraduate business programs.

Anyone who knows Cornell as a university and wasn't just caught up in a preppy clique would know that the Ag School isn't easy. I'm now ashamed to admit that Miss Coulter is who got me into conservative activism and journalism at Cornell if she's going to make such poorly researched columns as this one.

"E I E I Pwned"

LOL, that is almost as funny as the article itself.

Was Olbermann in the Ag Business Program?

Olbermann acts and sounds like a pig but he isn't fit to be a feeder pig in a 4-H swine project.

Was it 1 in 18 when HE was accepted into the program?

You do know acceptance rates change?

And for the record, your link has a statement that says the Business Program has a one in 18 acceptance rate....

I don’t know under what program he was initially admitted, but his degree was in communication arts and the college admissions are not easy. It’s not at all the way she tries to portray.

Not now. Back in 80s.

That’s what I said. The link was from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Many majors can be obtained through different colleges. For example, a geology degree could be earned via the Engineering college or the Arts and Sciences college. The Engineering path is ranked higher than the college Ann Coulter is calling the “real Cornell,” which is Arts & Sciences (and crunchy-granola hippies).

I’m not sure if it can be done now, but one of the smartest deals at Cornell was the Agricultural Engineering degree, because you pay state tuition through the Ag school for 3 years, then endowed tuition for the senior year and get your engineering degree from Cornell a lot cheaper than paying $35,000/year tuition all four years.

Sorry Ann et al., all of Cornell’s numerous colleges are Ivy League (to the extent that it matters). It is a lower campus conceit to say otherwise. I believe the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences motto is “We grow the Ivy”.

Exactly right.

Lots of the research from Cornell comes from that college. Lots of the BS from Cornell comes from A&S.

Too bad it is based on a false premise.

Miss Coulter is flat-out wrong. Cornell is an Ivy League university, containing endowed and statutory colleges. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences started out as a department and became a full college more than 100 years ago.

Man, you are aggressive about this. Could it be that Coulter is good looking and you are not?

I heard this in the car on the way to work this morning. Mike Gallagher read the whole column on the air. I was laughing out loud imagining Olberdork’s head just ‘sploding. He really thinks he is SO important.

I am quite aware of that from firsthand knowledge. :-)
