Disses Keith Olbermann for an entire column. Very funny. Here's the good part for Kyle, who otherwise better skip the whole thing:
Hey, Ann? Dartmouth got eliminated by RPI. RPI!!
Anne Coulter vs Keith Olbermann
Graduates of the ag school include David LeNeveu of the Anaheim Ducks, Mitch Carefoot of the Phoenix RoadRunners, Darren Eliot, former professional hockey player, and Joe Nieuwendyk, multiple Stanley Cup winner.
One begins to understand why Harvard students threw a chicken on the ice during Cornell's famous rout of Harvard at a 1973 hockey game.

What does Dartmouth have to do with anything? Coulter went to Cornell also. Read the whole column and then follow the thread on JSID.

So the only Ivy School at Cornell is the A & S? Many of us went to CU expressly because it wasn't all Liberal Arts majors. I guess those of us who went to Engr. didn't get an Ivy education. Maybe she's a wannabee Harvard grad. Well too bad for her, she can be proud of the chicken; I can be proud to know a diverse group of students and be able to take a diverse group of courses.
I'm at least glad she knows something of our hockey tradition, even if she disses all the rest of us.

I know it's been said before but I'd like to point out how ridiculous it is to say "Cornell education", much less "Ivy League education," as if there are uniform curricula and standards spanning the institutions. I might as well tell people I got an "ECAC Hockey education" while at Cornell...even though, in a lot of ways, I did

Well, yeah, especially since A&S has Physics, Chemistry, etc. If BA vs BS actually meant something from school to school, I would be at a disadvantage for having a Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy.

I agree, although I don't think it would be unreasonable for Cornell to issue a statement rebuking her statement and affirming the value and equivalence of degrees from all seven undergraduate colleges.
But, I doubt it would happen, and, its probably just playing into her attention-getting anyway, so better to leave stupid enough alone.

Or for example, for my major, computer science, you get a B.S. from Engineering or a B.A. from A&S, despite the fact it's the same core courses (though real CS majors are in Engineering

Among the graduates of the Ivy League Cornell are Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thomas Pynchon, Paul Wolfowitz, E.B. White, Sanford I. Weill, Floyd Abrams, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Ginsburg, Janet Reno, Henry Heimlich and Harold Bloom.
Graduates of the ag school include David LeNeveu of the Anaheim Ducks, Mitch Carefoot of the Phoenix RoadRunners, Darren Eliot, former professional hockey player, and Joe Nieuwendyk, multiple Stanley Cup winner.

Olbermann is wrong about an Aggie being able to take "just as many courses" in endowed colleges as an Artsie, though. IIRC statutory college students can take no more that half of their courses in endowed colleges. Got to get some benefit for that extra tuition.
But, wow, "only the Arts and Sciences College is Ivy League" is the sort of "SUNY Ithaca" crap you expect to hear from students at other Universities, not from a Cornellian.

Yeah, this is the part where I usually say something like "repeat after me: the Ivy League is an Athletic Conference." IMO, anyone who really gives a crap about the "Ivy League" label as a prestige chip has at least a little bit of insecurity.
Actually, IvyGate and Gawker have some pretty good takes at this elitism pissing match.
As an engineer, we often made fun of the hotelies mainly out of jealousy because they were all out at the bars by Wednesday night and actually had more than 30% women. Who were the smart ones?

Trying to make it sound like Ag is unrelated to Cornell, just happening to share a name, rather than a full fledged, equally valid school is ridiculous. I mean, its not like he's a hotelie (previous comments on that subject already read and concurred with).

Jim HylaActually, can't they take as many as they want, but they are limited to how many they can get at a state rate? I don't know the exact wording but I always thought it was a financial thing.jtwcornell91
Olbermann is wrong about an Aggie being able to take "just as many courses" in endowed colleges as an Artsie, though. IIRC statutory college students can take no more that half of their courses in endowed colleges. Got to get some benefit for that extra tuition.
But, wow, "only the Arts and Sciences College is Ivy League" is the sort of "SUNY Ithaca" crap you expect to hear from students at other Universities, not from a Cornellian.
From the Ag School's graduation requirements:
Maximum credits from endowed colleges: 55 endowed credits can be completed without incurring excess tuition charges. Endowed credits include all courses from departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, Architecture, Art, and Planning, Engineering, the Hotel School, the Johnson School of Graduate Management, and the Law School. Courses completed during the summer and winter sessions do not count against the 55 endowed credit limit.

It made me stop and think: how many different Colleges gave the courses I took? Answer: 4.
Mostly Eng. and Arts, but I took one or two in the Ag. School and one in Hotel (wine-tasting, of course).

The university has eliminated that restriction in recent years. Olbermann may still be wrong if he's referring to the time he was in school, though.
