For many students, the concept of putting education on hold for a year off is as daunting as it is enticing. Taking a year to travel, work or volunteer is already a common trend with European students, and now, like a love of soccer and a functioning health care system, the idea of a gap year is also seeping into American culture.

Some have recently expressed, in the pages of this newspaper, a feeling of marginalization. Specifically, I, and the group that I represent, the Cornell Israel Public Affairs Committee, have been accused of acting to marginalize a Palestinian point of view.
