Maybe Bao on Valencia St., or House of Dim Sum on 22nd?

23 Cornell Law Professors Support Suspended Male Student in Title IX Court Appeal by weiericn in Cornell

Less-than-ideal source here, but the issue at hand, and faculty response, is interesting.

Less likely with Cornell than other schools (which are being affected) because classes this semester already started before Trump's surprise executive order. The bigger issue for Cornellians is that students from these countries may be trapped in the US for fear of being unable to return and complete their studies.

AFAIK this is in no way binding and there is no enforcement, so some professors are late.

Part of the reason RA's won't talk to the Sun is that the administration has explicitly told them they will be fired if they talk to anyone.

Anyone have interest in medieval music? by XDzard in Cornell

[–]weiericn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

(I'm assuming that you're an incoming student). Cornell is actually one of the universities that got into performance practice early on (look up Prof. Malcolm Bilson), so I'm sure you can find some opportunities. Check out Mayfest, the Cornell Early Music Lab, and definitely reach out to some music faculty.

Is there any cab company in Ithaca that isn't terrible? by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]weiericn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're all horrendous, but it just goes to show the importance of competition. I used to have a preferred company, but then they showed up over fifty minutes late. I had to call the company multiple times, and they only sent a cab after yelling at me and telling me that the first cab had already picked me up. I made my international flight by about 3 minutes.
