Re: “In Defense of Our Cinema,” Opinion, Nov. 2

Thanks to The Sun, I’ve heard the different sides of the Student Assembly vs. the Cornell Cinema funding controversy. I like to believe that I am unbiased in the subject. Have I attended movies and programs at the Cornell Cinema? Yes. Have I waited on line to attend an event at the Cornell Cinema only to be told I was on the wrong line and the event is now full? Yes. Have I applied for and obtained funding for a student organization from the Student Assembly? Yes. Have I been told because I didn’t correctly state an estimate in my budget that I was not getting funding? Yes. It’s safe to say that I’ve had a good and bad relationship with the Cornell Cinema and Student Assembly.

Re: “A Bird’s Eye View As Bain Tears Through,” Opinion, Sept. 3

The Sun’s coverage of the University’s new strategic planning process, and of the engagement of Bain and Co. as consultants, for the most part has been accurate, even-handed and responsible. However, the editorial yesterday raises the possibility of future sensationalism and misrepresentation at a time when the campus sorely needs and must depend upon solid reporting and interpretation. Our problems and challenges are real enough without creating the perception of opacity and a disconnect between rhetoric and action where none exists.
