Disses Keith Olbermann for an entire column. Very funny. Here's the good part for Kyle, who otherwise better skip the whole thing:
QuoteGraduates 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.
Hey, Ann? Dartmouth got eliminated by RPI. RPI!!
Anne Coulter vs Keith Olbermann (http://www.anncoulter.com/)
What does Dartmouth have to do with anything? Coulter went to Cornell also. Read the whole column and then follow the thread on JSID.
You don't read JSID, do you? :-)
Dissing Olbermann is always a good thing these days though.
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.::flipc::
I get these babes mixed up... Who's the blonde Dartmouth grad?
Haven't been there in quite a while. It's what I read when it's not hockey or lacrosse season.
My Bad.::blush::
You must be REALLY confused. I don't think I've ever heard anyone call Coulter a "babe." ::yark::
I like how she says that A&S is the only one that matters because it gives the only Bachelor of Arts degree. Has anyone given a shit what sort of "Bachelor of ???" degree a person had in, say, the last 30 years.
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 :-D.

You and I may not like what she says, but to imply that her opinions make her unworthy of a degree is IMO more of a sign that you didn't learn enough at Cornell.

No, I'm not a fascist. I'm not a Republican but I get along fine with many Republicans. Ann deserves special treatment for frequently getting her facts wrong and speaking like a complete idiot, regardless of her opinions or politics. Perhaps I missed some of the special classes that you took, it's always possible.

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.

Exactly the political pissing match I was hoping to head off at the pass and avoid the hockey board by starting the thread several days ago on JSID (http://elf.elynah.com/read.php?5,140964), but whatever. It's not like it's playoff season or anything.

No she doesn't. Special treatment for the really bad ones can too easily become special treatment for the sort of bad ones and maybe even special treatment for anyone who doesn't agree witht he party line. Let's not go there.

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 :P).

I'm somewhat surprised that this hasn't been posted here yet:

Highlight: "Here is my receipt." *clunk*
Edit: Reading Coulter's column (http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=300) makes me wonder if this is the proper forum for this topic:
QuoteAmong 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.
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.
Regardless of your politics, this is pretty amusing. ::popcorn::
Holy shit, Ann Coulter is even more full of crap than I realized. ::wow::
ETA: she also misses the fact that Kurt Vonnegut never graduated from Cornell.
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.
What about engineering, are we still real? To go to real Cornell do you have to commit voting fraud, or is that just her?
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 (http://www.ivygateblog.com/2009/03/the-great-ivy-league-snob-off-part-ii-keith-olbermann-is-embarrassing-too/) and Gawker (http://gawker.com/5165501/keith-olbermann-now-just-andy-from-the-office) 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?

Ms. Coulter, we have a name for people who say such retarded things about the SUNY schools: Colgate students.
Wow.
I already thought that Ann Coulter is one of the lowest, poor-excuses-for-a-human-being, more like cow dung than actual intelligent life, things on the planet... but she still managed to shock me by dropping even lower.
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).

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.

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.
