After months of incremental cost-cutting measures, Cornell has launched “Resilient Cornell,” an initiative to reduce costs across all campuses through a restructuring of the University’s workforce and operations.
The terrible idealist truth is that I would undo everything if the opportunity stood. I’d deconstruct the urbanities, peel the asphalt from the earthscape in chemical crumbs. Then unwrite the constitutions, unravel academia page by tedious page. I’m the unforgivable anarcho-primitivist in a 21st-century paradigm. I’d scrap the post-industrial, expansionist trade, the renaissance, colonialism, the old world civilizations. I’d put humanity on par with coexistent species. I cannot erase the tragic rapid succession of human beings into exploitation, denying ourselves spiritual consciousness or real-time connection with the land. For now, I can only suffocate suggesting compromises within systems that host us, and aspire to reinvent them in a post-grad fantasy.
Cornell reported a 12.3 percent return on its endowment for the 2025 fiscal year, according to a University statement released on Tuesday.
Holiday seasons always have a movie genre tied to them. On Christmas, families settle down to heartwarming stories of finding love and connection in a cold, snowy month. On Valentine’s Day, couples watch cheesy romantic comedies. Today, on Halloween, almost everyone waits until it is dark and prepares to scream and hide their eyes behind quivering hands as we subject ourselves to horror movies. Jump scares, gore and every possible image that could disturb you are thrown into your field of vision as studios try to shock and frighten you. Yet, is it all necessary? Did that clown have to pop up unexpectedly, or are horror movies today leaning too much on the horror and losing the movie?
Partygoers beware: an uncomfortable journey awaits those who venture out on the spookiest nights of the year as a low pressure system meanders through the northeast. This system will bring rain, cold and wind to the Finger Lakes, and will all be explained in this Sun weather forecast.
As Cady so aptly puts it in the 2004 movie Mean Girls, “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”
A resolution condemning the disciplinary process of now-retired Prof. Eric Cheyfitz, literatures in English, was met with criticism by faculty and administrators during a Faculty Senate meeting on Oct. 22.
Spooky Season is upon us, and I’m not just talking about Halloweekend. I’m talking about the ghouls I encounter in the single dating pool, the frights of sleeping around, and (in my case) my experiences dating as an East Asian female in predominately white communities.
Olin Library, Uris Hall, The Johnson Museum — these are three of the most controversial buildings on Campus, often panned as ugly or ill-fitting additions to central Campus. Olin Library, once described in the Sun as amongst the “finest college libraries in the country” (Vol. 77, 1967), bringing fame and fortune to the architects, is now widely criticized: a bland, brutalist vestige of the 1960s, incongruous with the neighboring neoclassical, neo-Romanesque and Second Empire buildings. Similarly, the Johnson Museum (designed by I. M. Pei of Louvre Pyramid fame) is notoriously mocked for its sewing machine resemblance, and its architectural clashes with nearby buildings. Still, its distinctive, unique design along with its mesmerizing lighting serve to redeem its negative qualities, and it is considered an architectural attraction at Cornell. Uris Hall, though not necessarily inharmonious, fell short of its original vision — the exterior was intended to develop an attractive patina, akin to the golden-brown-blue U.S. Steel Tower, but the lack of air pollution in Ithaca left the outside to merely rust, giving rise to a “special amount of acrimony” writes Jeff Stein in The Ithaca Voice.
Happy Fall, Cornellians! ‘Tis the season of cozy knit sweaters, leaves crunching under boots and GCals stacked with prelim study sessions. There is an unmistakable trace of pumpkin spice wafting in the crisp Ithaca air, signaling that the annual craze for all things fall-flavored is back in full swing! To those who typically celebrate the return of Starbucks’s holiday menu, I present to you the next best alternative here in Ithaca: Collegetown Bagels seasonal drinks.

Zoom event hosted by the Cornell Political Strategy Group.
Success at Cornell is measured not only in grades, research or leadership, but also in the ability for students to show up each day ready to learn and thrive. That readiness depends on something fundamental: access to healthy, reliable meals. Without it, academic focus falters, stress rises and the barriers to success increase.
On Oct. 31, cross country will head down to Van Courtlandt Park in New York City for the the Ivy League Heptagonal Championship, a race in which both the men and the women’s teams have a winning history.
