CALS Cuts Imminent

Posted by Dennis Shiraev on July 12, 2009

METAezra discusses potential CALS faculty and department cuts/consolidations. Nagowski also says: 

What disappoints me is that there is little to no discussion about what can happen across college/unit lines. Why wouldn’t it make sense for AEM to work more fully with the Johnson School, ILR, or the Hotel School? Or why not consider consolidating the rural sociology or education programs with PAM?

I agree, but there are so many opportunities for consolidation around Cornell (AEM, Econ, PAM) and I just don’t see any of these programs collapsing into each other anytime soon.

Obama Thanks Russia for Alex Ovechkin!

Posted by Dennis Shiraev on July 12, 2009

During his visit to Moscow, President Obama thanked Russia for NHL superstar Alexander Ovechkin, who plays for the Washington Capitals ice hockey team. Notice the nice Russian accent he puts on Ovechkin’s name. Obama failed to mention that he has yet to attend a Capitals game. I guess he’s sort of busy, so I’ll give him another season before passing judgement.
