Artificial intelligence has grown commonplace in higher education, with some students using it to assist with learning and professors often acknowledging or integrating it into their classes. The development of large language models — a category of deep learning models trained to understand and generate natural language — could help young students and researchers in academia.
Several organizations on campus are calling for President Michael Kotlikoff to resign following an incident where he drove his car into a current Cornell student and ran over a recent graduate’s foot during a confrontation with people affiliated with Students for a Democratic Cornell on April 30.
Since October 2021, Cornell students have tensely audited the Instagram account @bigredmissedconnections’ anonymous confession posts just to confirm their absence of a secret admirer. Between the account and its newer handle @bigred_missedconnections which was created last fall, over 4,500 entries have accumulated — searchable only through reading text post screenshots one by one. Now, a student-run project has changed that.
Almost five years after the Supreme Court’s NCAA v. Alston decision allowed college student-athletes to monetize their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), Cornell Athletics has launched Big Red Exchange, the University’s first official NIL marketplace.
On a chilly evening, the familiar wooden beams of the Ithaca Farmers Market pavilion were transformed into a vibrant, glowing enclave. Underneath a canopy of warm string lights, the chilly upstate New York air gave way to the rich aromas of roasted meats, sweet mint and familiar spices. This was “Midnight in Marrakech,” a Moroccan cultural night hosted by the Cornell Arab Student Association that offered students a temporary, yet entirely immersive, escape to North Africa.

The Cornell AAUP Chapter has been closely following the reporting that Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff hit students with his car following an interaction with them. We have viewed the videos of the incident released by Students for a Democratic Cornell and by Cornell University. We are deeply concerned by the seeming discrepancy between the president's email statement and the video evidence. We are also troubled at the possibility that the president used a campus-wide email to get ahead of a potentially damaging story, characterizing the students’ behavior in quite damning language while excusing his own.
The first time I encountered the musical Urinetown, written by Greg Kotis, I thought it was a joke. I sat through a two-hour production about a dystopian world in which you have to pay to pee and left, woefully missing the mark on the social and political implications of the show. Only after watching the Melodramatics Theatre Company perform Urinetown last weekend, five years after my first watch, did the depth of this dark comedy set in. Though laced with campy theatrics and satirical jabs at the wealthy bourgeoisie, Urinetown makes an entirely serious point about the fate of our world should we neglect to take care of it.

After months worth of film screenings, Cornell Cinema unveiled its final film of the spring in its once-a-semester Mystery Screening on April 30: The Firemen’s Ball. A 1967 Czechoslovakian comedy, The Firemen’s Ball, adds to Cornell Cinema’s long history of exposing audiences to international films. Cornell Cinema’s Mystery Screenings have previously displayed German thrillers, Scottish documentaries and even co-productions between the U.S., Latvia and Luxembourg. Providing a humorous and seemingly lighthearted glance into Czechoslovakian life, The Firemen’s Ball balances slapstick comedy with darker satirical tones as it comments on political corruption.
As a group of graduate students and graduate student organizations, we are appalled by President Kotlikoff’s actions on Thursday evening and call for his immediate resignation.
