No, That Wasn’t a “Happy Holidays” Email From Skorton
In case you quickly opened and/or deleted that email from President Skorton this morning, no, he was not writing to wish you a safe break. Cornell will be facing a “10% correction in [its] annual operating budget over the next few years.” As far as undergraduate students are concerned, I don’t think that these cuts will affect drastically affect the quality of our education. From what I’ve gathered from professors and graduate students, there will be some layoffs and funding cuts for various departments, but the only shock undergrads might feel is slightly larger class sizes. Input is welcome.
