The fight over a $180 million lawsuit filed against Cornell by the father of a student who committed suicide has intensified in the last month, with both sides toughening their rhetoric and accusing each other of distortions and ethical improprieties.

The University held two forums Monday to discuss the mental health justification for seven proposed bridge barriers.

President David Skorton sat down with The Sun on Monday to discuss his decision-making regarding Greek life, staff cuts, suicide prevention and the controversial folding of the Africana Center into the College of Arts and Sciences.

Preliminary bridge barrier designs are still not available but will be in February, according to the University.

A year after Cornell's series of suicides, President David Skorton discusses the college's reputation and progress on the bridge barriers.

Seeing the budget numbers behind the University’s mental health and anti-suicide measures helped illustrate the sharp contrast between the Cornell of today and the Cornell of less than a year ago. 

Florencia Ulloa '11 says the stickers on the bridge barriers are an undesirable medium through which to talk about student safety.

Plans to build more permanent bridge barriers moved into a new phase last week, and marked the culmination of the project's pre-design phase.

Finding “sufficient causal relationship” between work-related injuries sustained by Cornell painter James Smith in 2001 and his suicide in 2007, a New York State appellate court upheld a decision awarding Smith’s wife workers’ compensation payment.

Sunday's “Reach Out” walk for suicide prevention represented more than just another well-executed event to build awareness — it was symbolic of the inspiring way that the Cornell, Ithaca College and Ithaca communities have come together for the shared goal of preventing suicide.
