It wasn't even me doing the ribbing...  I was just speculating on why that was claimed since I didn't actually know.

No, just your mom attempting to impersonate a female. :-P

Delta,

I'm pretty sure they count the Medical Research Center in NYC as a grad school in addition to the Med College, so add that to vet, law, JGSM, and Grad School for 6

Pretty soon, I'm sure they'll start talking more about the Med College in Doha, Qatar and the Bridging the Rift Center that Stanford and us are involved in in Jordan I believe

 I have heard that 5 of Cornell's 9 schools are accredited SUNY.  I don't know how true that is, but that's where the comment comes from.[/q]

You heard wrong. I have 2 Cornell degrees: one from the Ag school and one from the grad school. Neither says SUNY anywhere on it, and both say Cornell.

In 1862, the Morrill Act granted each state 30,000 acres of public land for each Senator and Representative (based on the 1860 census). Cash raised by selling this land was to be invested in an endowment to provide support for colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts in each state.

Cornell is the home of NY's Morrill Land Grant Colleges, with two notable exceptions: the NYS School of Forestry (at Syracuse University) and the NYS College of Ceramics (at Alfred University).

In 1948, the SUNY system was created. The School of Forestry was integrated into the SUNY system and is known today as SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF). However, it is *not* part of Syracuse.  In contrast, the College of Ceramics at Alfred and Cornell's 3 undergraduate statutory colleges (Ag, HumEc, ILR) are in fact controlled and run by their respective host institutions.  

The confusion arises because of a lack of understanding of what the term statutory college means.

Anyway,  today, Cornell has 7 undergrad colleges - 4 are 'endowed' (A&S, Hotel, Eng, AAP) while the other 3 are 'statutory' (Ag, HumEc, ILR).  As a student in a statutory college, you are technically limited to  a maximum of 55 credits (out of 120) in the endowed college but frankly I never knew anybody that got close to the limit. The one exception I knew of is Ag&Bio Engineering; you paid 3 years of Ag tuition and 1 year of Eng tuition.

Cornell Endowed tuition is $30,000.
Cornell Statutory tuition is $15,870/$28,400 (in state/ out of state).
SUNY tuition is $4,350.

In short, Cornell gets money from the state but isn't a SUNY.

(Here is the specific NYS code that establishes the statutory colleges at Cornell.)

Unfortunately, I'm closer than I'd like to be to that endowed credit limit.  It's not as impossible as it sounds, especially when they count the classes they make you take (Chemistry, Physics, Math, etc.), that you don't want to take anyway, against you.  In some cases (re: mine) one might take some stupid elective courses that end up costing him or her down the road.  Oh well.  With most upper-level courses coming from a student's major it isn't usually a big deal, but it can happen.

I guess John's explanation (and Wilkpedia, insofar as one can ever trust it) answers my recurring question about First Amendment limitations on Cornell.  It would seem that Cornell is a completely private institution, regardless of the statutory funding, and therefore not bound by the First Amendment limitations of government actions in the way that SUNY would be.  Cornell is, of course, subject to any statutory restrictions.

Even private schools receive money from the gummint (either directly or through federal loans to students) and they are required to follow certain rules to be eligible for the money. (Just ask Bob Jones University.)

(Just ask Bob Jones University.)[/q]Certainly, but those rules are statutory in origin.  Congress could pass a law outlawing speech codes at any college or university receiving federal funding and Cornell would be bound by that rule.  But a student couldn't sue a private university on the grounds that a speech code violated his constitutional rights (or wouldn't win, anyway).  A student at a public university could do so .

I ran into the problem of not having the min number of ag credits, not having too many endowed. Going into second semester senior year i needed something like 9 credits 7 from ag.

I'm travelling all the way from California to Ithaca for this one.  And I was there in 1970.  Time for the crowd to help win it all...
