As the Academic Freedom Committee of the Cornell Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), we write in support of our colleague Dr. Eric Cheyfitz, the Ernest I. White Professor of American Studies and Humane Letters in the Department of Literatures in English and a member of the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program, whose rights of academic freedom and due process have been violated by the Cornell administration.

Cornell’s campus is far quieter in the summertime, with the vast majority of the student body departed for vacation. However, many research labs are still busy and operational, and some of the undergraduates who elect to spend their summer in Ithaca devote their time to working in them. From a materials engineer to an evolutionary biologist, The Sun got to meet some of these student researchers and learn about the projects they did this past summer.

After falling into a two-touchdown hole early in its homecoming game against Colgate, chances looked dire for the Red. Junior quarterback Devin Page had given up two interceptions, the team couldn’t manage to string together a drive longer than 25 yards and repeat the success of last year’s shocker over Yale.

The start of fall at Cornell can only mean one thing. No, not the first round of prelims, not club recruitment and not even Halloween yet. In a matter of days, campus will be abuzz in anticipation of its most beloved early autumnal tradition: Homecoming. Throngs of Cornell students, alumni, staff and families will crowd streets and bleachers, rallying together as the football team faces one of its fiercest in-state rivals, Colgate University. Of course, Cornell is one of many scholastic institutions across the country to celebrate Homecoming and the spirited traditions that come with it. Before making its way to high schools, the concept of a Homecoming game was founded by American universities looking to draw alumni support back to campus. Despite ongoing debate, the most popular origin story of Homecoming credits the University of Missouri in 1911. At the time, the university’s athletic director, Chester Brewer, wanted to host a community-wide event for the opening of football season against the University of Kansas. Starting as a celebration of unity and school spirit, the enduring presence of football and the Homecoming tradition in popular culture has grown into a widely-recognized symbol of youth, pageantry and American nostalgia. After all, Archie Andrews of Riverdale puts it best: If you don’t know what many refer to as the new “great American pastime,” “you haven’t known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football.”

Whether or not you cherish the day (or even remember much from it), Homecoming is one of Cornell’s liveliest traditions. Cursing out a school we got painfully rejected from, watching a sport we don’t care enough about to understand and passionately posting nonsense on Sidechat? Talk about a hallmark of the Ivy experience!

Every so often, a story comes along that takes the world by storm. A story becomes so ingrained in our collective imagination that it gets woven into the very fabric of our culture. It inspires fans to write. And sometimes, the products of that inspiration have meteoric trajectories of their own.

In President Trump’s May 1st executive order titled “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media,” he declared that all government funding towards PBS, the government-funded Public Broadcasting Service, the order reads: “The CPB Board shall cease direct funding to NPR and PBS, consistent with my Administration’s policy to ensure that Federal funding does not support biased and partisan news coverage.” In July 2025, the order went into effect, causing a slow halt to all broadcast operations, with federal funds officially running out earlier this week. The current administration’s shots towards PBS have ultimately resulted in the shutdown of PBS Kids, a beloved children's TV programming channel that's been on air since 1999.

All we are is dust on the wind? You would think an algorithm designed to produce chart-toppers would steer clear of paths already taken, but the Velvet Sundown shamelessly rehashes what’s already been done and tests the limits of our collective memories. Dust on the wind? “Dust in the Wind?” The classic rock canon has been shamelessly defaced.

The night I returned home from bombing my first prelim of the semester, I got comfy and watched that one motion picture we’re all watching — no, it wasn’t The Summer I Turned Pretty, it wasn’t KPop Demon Hunters… it was Daddy Help! Mommy’s in Prison!

With constant cramming for prelims, too many papers to write and a boatload of problem sets to complete, sometimes it all becomes too much. My favorite form of escapism is a good book where I can worry instead about a fictional character’s problems. I think the best books are those that you are unable to put down and that distract you completely from your academic stress.
