Cornell does not, in fact, have a higher rate of suicide than similar communities  

Cornell is known for a lot more than just the Hotel School, get your facts straight.  

Cornell is known for being filled with cows, get your facts straight.  

As an alum of Cornell Law, this University is certainly kmown for more than Hotel Mgt. Cornell has one of the best Law depts. in the country! Indeed, get your facts straight!  

>> Cornell has one of the best Law depts A couple would be family law specialists will earn their J.D.s trying to get these two off... err... At least they won't have far to chase... The opportunities abound. So many adulterous ambulance-chasing double-entendre-laden lawyer joke opportunities, so little time...  

We don't have a high suicide rate, we just have the coolest, most scenic way of doing it, get your facts straight.  

I went to Cornell, you ever heard of it? I graduated in four years. I never studied once. I was drunk the whole time, and I sang in the accapella group, "Here Comes Treble."  

I, for one, have never heard of this supposed "best Law dept." that Cornell has. Their Hotel school, however, is the stuff of legend.  

Cornell does not have a higher suicide rate. We're just known for having a method of suicide unique to only Cornell. Stop using the availability heuristic and get your facts straight.  

Someone on The Office went to Cornell. Andy. It's known for that too.  

caw! caw!  

Cornell people are always saying 'get your facts straight'. It would seem they are always lying and need to be corrected.  

John and Lisa both, are pretty damn ugly! She is in need of serious dental work and John needs to have his mullett trimmed a bit.  

Cornell is known for Andy Bernard. "Without their science program we wouldn't have cabbage. Well, modern cabbage anyway."  

I graduated from Cornell and before this email never said, "get your facts straight". I did however say, "i'll ve oe more gin & tonic", many times.  

As a recent Johnson School alumni- who is still at the University, I doubt this tale. There is no HR Manager. The institution does not operate in such a manner.  

Love that it's the "Johnson" School.  

Obviously Cornell is filled with sex crazed Obama haters. Typical republisivecan hypocrites!!  

Jose -- yes there is an HR manager for the Johnson School.......  

Yeah, Jose, get your facts straight.  

if only one week earlier: great Ithaca halloween costume.  

Juan , cornell is a very liberal campus.... I'm a student and didnt recieve this email either  

Cornell students wouldn't get shaken up over a steamy email scandal. Get your facts straight.  

ugly people fuck too.get your facts straight  

Jose - The Johnson School indeed does have an HR Manager. Are you sure you are a Johnson School Alumnus (by the way Alumni is plural, genius). In fact, the Johnson School had the same HR manager for abour 25+ years until her recent retirement. We now have another HR Manager. Juan - You have clearly spent NO time at Cornell or the city of Ithaca in general. If you did you know that they are both two of the most liberal places on earth. Democrats and Liberals outweigh Republicans and Conservatives by about 5:1. Dave - you did not get this e-mail because it was not sent to the entire Cornell communitiy...and not even to the entire Johnson School community for that matter. It was sent to one specific list serve at the Johnson School - which is comprised of some (but not all) Faculty, Staff and Students.  

As a university employee, I think it's safe to say a follow-up email to students would not come from an HR manager--it'd probably come from the President's office, or maybe the Dean of Student's. Concerns for the safety of students' well-being? Probably come frm a Health/Nurse/Counseling office. FAIL.  

Cornnell's Hotel School is the number one in the world and is preeminent to the Johnson School. Get your facts straight.  

Jose, you're a recent ALUMNUS, not "alumni." Doesn't say much for your education, does it?  

I hope these two kill themselves and add to the suicide rate!  

Does everyone at Cornell suck, or just these two? Just trying to get my facts willard straight!  

The suicide rate is half the national average for college campuses. It is true, however, that Cornell students have a unique method. I am both an alum and on the faculty; I have my facts straight.  

Tee hee. The "Johnson" school.  

Thanks Coco for educating Jose on the right use of the words "alumnus" and "alumni". Cornell advertizes Ivy but provides a SUNY equivalent education (as it's actually a partner of the SUNY system as in SUNY Binghamtom, SUNY Buffalo). Cornell should just become what it really is; a fake Ivy (for third-rate rejects from top-tier ivy institutions and it's peers who cling desperately to their fake Ivy status as last resort for Ivy bragging rights). Cornell is essentially SUNY Ithaca in disguise. I attended Cornell and I was appalled at the Calbire of students I run into on a daily basis. lack of intellect and bunch of sour pusses. I therefore applied to Columbia University and UPenn and got accepted to both and left Cornell. I must say, Cornell is nowhere near!  

Cornell doesn't have the highest suicide rate, and that honor belongs to MIT. The Big Red just has a higher student population and hence larger number of suicides. Also, the hotel school is a joke comparing to the architecture and engineering school.  

Just to get my facts straight, what, exactly, is this "uinque" method? Is it an elective?  

They screw themselves to death, managing orgasms so extreme that their abdominal artery hemorrhages.  

"Plunging into the Gorges" is simply a metaphor. Ithaca wants to remain PC, sexually speaking, hence the euphemism.  

Tell the truth: You got booted out of Big Red because you still don't know the difference between its and it's: "for third-rate rejects from top-tier ivy institutions and it’s peers" and because you don't know how to spell caliber: I was appalled at the Calbire of students." A remarkably self-indicting accusation that last one. Congratulations.  

cornell has the number 2 hotel school in the world behind the one in switzerland, and only 4 of 7 schools are private...thus some can go through the entire school drunk while others are part of the ivy league side.  

Clearly this is inappropriate use of school systems. Is this grounds for firing at Cornell? Hope to keep updated on this.  

Well fake Ezra, which college are you attending or did you attend at SUNY Ithaca? First let me educate you again. A typo can't and must not be construed as a lack of spelling abilities or one's level of education. Unlike Jose who misuses words. Misusing words, that is their meanings, rather indicates one's level of education. You obviously CAN see that it's clearly a typo, since I have all the right letters but they have just been misplaced due to fast typing. (how fast do you type?) I'd totally agree with you if I had wrong letters in the word, say like: "calibur" or "caleber" or like something that an ILR or AEM or Hotelie would spell it as. (Let me know if you want to know what ILR and AEM actually stand for...hehehe..it'll make you laugh). And also one couldn't pronounce that right the way my typo came out. That would let anyone know it was indeed a typo. But for argument sake you need something to talk about right? So we can give that to you. Suprising though that you didn't even deny that Cornell is in fact a SUNY. Also, "it's" and "Its" are common mistakes people make all the time as in how some people inadvertently use use "your" in place of "you're" and a sensible educated person can easily see that it was a slip and not a judgement of one's education. And for the record, how does one get booted from SUNY Ithaca/ Cornell, a lesser ranked (and over rated 'cos Brown definitely is way more selective than Cornell) and gets accepted to top-tier (highly ranked institutions) Columbia (produces the most Nobel Laureates only bested by Harvard and Cambridge University, and produces the likes of President Obama) and UPenn? At least Skorton (is he even a president or just a fund raiser?) keeps talking about reimagining Cornell. It needs reimagining 'cos tt's slipping treacherously and hemorrhaging financially. The administration knows it. fake Ezra, Cornell is just one freaking joke!!!! OPEN DOORS: anybody can get it! Ezra couldn't have said it any better: "I would found and institution where ANYBODY, can find instruction in ANY study (and that includes ILR, AEM and Hotelies" hehe :-) CLOSED MINDS: a bunch of idiots, lunatics and retards. Racism at Cornell is insane. The only integration is white guys with little peckers screwing asian females and that's about the diversity and integration one sees at Cornell. (How do you explain racial polarization: such as dorms like Ujamaa for blacks, HILC (defacto Asian dorm), Latino Living Center (duh, for latinos). That's pretty messed up for a school that claims to open peoples minds and always has red arches to celebrate diversity when it endorses or encourages racial segregation. COLD HEARTED: one cold and heartless administration. Horrible financial aid. OPEN LEGS: a bunch on whores. Sixes passing as tens. Ithaca College does way better. Come to NYC. fake Ezra, I lived it and I know that Cornell/ SUNY Ithaca sucks balls. POP CULTURE: Movies are made about Columbia Univesity: Spiderman, it becomes a box office success. They make too many movies about Harvard: "legally blonde, "Good will hunting", "With Honors" etc and it's always about intellectuals and high achievers doing something with their lives. Princeton: "A beautiful Mind" about Brilliant economist and nobel laureate John Nash (Nash Equilibrium) Is it ironic that Cornell gets a supposed notable mention and it's from a loser in the show "The Office"? A character who constantly references his Cornell education. A depiction on one's insecurity. I mean that alone should tell you someting about how people (pop culture) perceives Cornell: It produces douche bags as in Andy from Office. All name and no game. They bring nothing to the table and always hang on the name of failing name brand. please respond I'd like to get your candid response , that is if you have any at all. Take care!  

Cornell is composed of very large eaters since democrats outweigh repuplicans (likde CB said) by 5:1. Maybe I did not get the facts straight. Thought I would weigh in.  

ex- SUNY ITHACAN, your response was WAY to long, Ezra must have hit a nerve which caused you to spend so much of your time writing a freakish and abnormally self-defensive article. Anybody who needs to defend their intelligence so much is insecure. Whats wrong with you?  

What we've learned here is that Columbia and/or UPenn are perfectly capable of producing some righteous douchebags of their own. This is me getting the facts straight.  

@Lonewolf Ezra did indeed strike a nerve but I'm also appalled at Cornell. Brevity is the response one would give to the wise but with Ezra I need to be verbose in order for him to understand me given his SUNY education. I needed to point out to Ezra that typos are not indicative of the level of one's intelligence or education. I mean it would be akin to me stating that you (Lonewolf) have a low-level of education since you had stated: "your response was WAY "to" (instead of using "too") long,". But I know better since that's a common mistake way too many people make: i.e. inadvertently using "to" when they mean "too". Ezra was dumb enough to indicate that my using "it's" instead of "its" means I'm not smart. I don't think the same about you Lonewolf. I was not defending myself but rather taking the time to educate a SUNY Ithacan. And that my friend is service and not indication of insecurity. After all service to man, is service to God. Also, I type very fast so it doesn't take too much of my time to give such a lengthy response. @Sara Your argument is very well accepted. While there's some veracity to your statement, at least these institutions don't produce douchebags on such epic proportions as Cornell/SUNY Ithaca does (I mean I'm talking about more than 2/3 of Cornell's Undergrad is that bad). Sara, I lived it and I experienced it. "Veni, Vidi, I departed" ...hehehe :-)  

Hahaha so apparently both Cornell and its students are easy to get into.  

What does that filth matter when the newspaper at Cornell has student journalists (and I use the term journalist loosely) writing and publishing graphic text porn so what's the difference where the students read it? From November 12, 2009 "Cornell Daily Sun" [cornellsun.com] What the hell is Cornell becoming. What trash is allowed in print there. I hope this makes all the news BOTH the e-mail scandal and this .  

@TRS: That would be the Daily Sun's sex column, which comes out every other Thursday... The Daily Sun is completely independent of the University and can publish whatever it wants...  

@CV @TRS Case in point. The article, appearing in the Cornell Daily Sun dated 11/12/09, buttresses my argument about the caliber of Cornell students; third-rate and douchebags. This is colorful reporting for a University newspaper (one that's supposed to be equivalent to its peers (like The Columbia daily Spectator, Harvard Gazette, Yale daily News, The Daily Princetonian, etc...) by a student (who is a senior). This is why I say Cornell should become what it's supposed to be: SUNY Ithaca. In case you missed it, the writer of this distasteful article (jessh@cornellsun.com) is a current Senior @ Cornell's New York State College of Agriculture & Life Sciences ([bit.ly] @TRS WHAT THE HELL IS CORNELL BECOMING.= SUNY ITHACA I guess your question should rather be what has it BECOME. No wonder their fund-raiser, Prez. Skorton, keeps talking about reimagining cornell ([bit.ly] @nailer Cornell's hotel school , is actually ranked 4th in the world, behind 3 Swiss schools: hospitality School rankings according to Laureate international universities 1. Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne, Switzerland 2. Glion Institute of Higher Education 3. Les Roches International School of Hotel Management 4. Cornell Hotel school (hotelies) They however always lie to these kids (who know no better) that the Hotel School is the best in the world. (I urge you to look this up)  

Someone is very bitter. Why not go and get a life instead of launching on a crusade to belittle someone else's education? What does it even matter? It sounds more to me like you had a bad experience, hung out with the wrong people, and left. Cornell is a very cutthroat place. Sometimes, your best just isn't good enough. Glad to know you became well-adjusted and happy at another institution.  

No, ex-Ithacan, Cornell tells prospective students that its program is the best in the COUNTRY. You will note that the three preceding schools you listed are all in Switzerland. As in, not in our country. Also, Cornell has one of the best law schools in the country - consistently top 20, sometimes higher, depending on the report. So it has a bit more to boast than just its hotel school. I know several ambitious people who were thrilled to get into Cornell's law program. I don't even go to Cornell, and I find the fact that you've high-jacked this comment board for the repurposing of your petty axe-grinding to be borderline insufferable. Ivy League kids can be obnoxious, overrated, and pretentious, we GET it. This is not breaking news to any of the rest of us, so perhaps it's time you buried the hatchet and moved on with your life.  

Hahaha .... Cornell is best known for sending XXX emails NOW! 8) "What school did you go to ?" Cornell student: "Cornell" "Hahahaha, the CUM here school ? Hahahaha"
