    Cornell is plowing ahead with in-person classes, tuition increase, contrary to other Ivy League schools

    Cornell University will reopen its campus in Ithaca, N.Y., for in-person classes in the fall semester, while other Ivy League schools have decided to stick with mostly online learning amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    Despite the pandemic, Cornell is maintaining its 3.6 percent tuition increase for the upcoming school year, the Cornell Daily Sun reported. The university said it projects $210 million in losses related to the pandemic this coming fiscal year, having already reported losses of $45 million in the current fiscal year.

    ...

    This “counterintuitive result” stems from the university’s ability to control screenings, quarantining, and other measures on campus versus its inability to do so if students lived off-campus, according to Pollack.

    "If we have a residential, on-campus semester, then we have the authority to put all kinds of expectations and requirements on our students," Pollack told Inside Higher Ed. "If we were only in an online basis, then it would be really difficult to impose regulations on students who happen to be living in Ithaca, as opposed to, say, happen to be living in Atlanta or San Francisco."

    If these measures are actually effective in keeping people safe, maybe the rest of the country should have them also?

    My wife got a graduate degree from it, cost us quite a bit of coin. I was listening to her singing “ far above Cayuga’s waters “ earlier today when they had their reunion online. Lol

    We should all pack our bags, move to BFE Ithaca, move into Cornell dorms and let the Cornell PD trap us on campus?

    Good to see Cornell is following the lead of its peer schools - like Liberty University.

    The Poison Ivy League some would say -- a tough PIL to swallow regardless.

    It’s a nice campus. Though rather cold in the winter. Folks in Texas should move to UT or Rice dorms for better weather.

    It's no Brown or Dartmouth, that's for sure.
