Their Hotel Management school is one of the best in the country.

The graduates do quite well.

I intentionally left that off my list of fluff majors as I went down their list, but (okay I was negligent) I went from memory on typical majors Cornell would have that lead to decent jobs after graduation. I agree with you on hotel management and other business degrees - good point.

John Greenwood ’20, the 19-year-old Cornell student charged with two misdemeanors following an altercation in Collegetown in which a black Cornell junior said he was punched and called the N-word, apologized on Wednesday for using “unacceptable and inappropriate language.”

Hm.... I wonder what started the whole thing.

A black student arrived home in the early hours of Friday morning when he found a group of students near his driveway arguing with his housemates, he said. As he was trying to get them to leave, he said, someone called out a racial epithet. He confronted them, and four or five of them turned on him and started punching him in the face.

Well.

This is one case where it sounds like the account is accurate.

However, I still think the whole thing is being blown out of proportion by the students on campus.

I sure hope they take it as seriously when the roles are reversed.

They fear those more than anything. Which is why dogs were one of the first things BLM demanded to be banned during Ferguson.

They are still not allowed to do crowd control with this new bunch.

They are like a shark running through a swarm of herring...

Apparently the president of the chapter had been in involved in something earlier causing for the suspension of chapter. The house has been unoccupied for a period of time going through renovations. This unsubstantiated charge was enough for politically correct national office to suspend chapter indefinitely turn house over for a diversity training center.

Google it. Nice looking house. What a waste.

Customers can demand what they want for their money.


They can demand what they paid for. It’s an odd twist of words to demand what they “want”, if it is not specifically what they paid for.

I agree with you. However, barring any written contract they can demand whatever they want. It doesn’t mean they should get it.

University systems in the U.S. are worse than public schools. They are far more expensive and really, I believe, only operating to keep themselves fed with money. I doubt that more than 30% of “educators” care what happens to a student once they “graduate”.

I sort of agree, but my whole point is that the left seems to be in love with the word, “demand”.

They can ask for stuff, demanding it paints a picture of the toddler in the grocery store laying on the floor, screaming and flailing her arms because mom won’t buy her a candy bar.

And in my personal subculture, that is the right way to a smart bottom. And it guarantees I will not honor your “demands”. ;-)

Ah the great circle theory demonstrated once again. When will the guns make the scene. Will the president sit down and have a coke with the students like the good old days?
