Ann Coulter On Cornell Hockey

[quote jtwcornell91][quote French Rage]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.[/quote]

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 Astrology.[/quote]
FYP.

I despise Ann.  Does the administration have the ability to revoke an embarrassing alumnus' (happy?) degree?

At my age, any estrogenized female looks good.:`-(

Thus making it official that agreeing with the opinions of some arbitrarily-chosen person is a requirement for getting a degree?

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.

[quote KeithK]You don't read JSID, do you? :-)

Dissing Olbermann is always a good thing these days though.[/quote]Olbermann is a jackass and an ignoramus.  He really should have stuck to sports.  Sadly, similar things can be said for most of what passes for the establishment media these days.

[RatushnyFan]

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.

And that has what to do with Ann Coulter?

[RichH]

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, 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.

It is both an art and a science, really.

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 ).

[RichH]

Well, judging from what certain people say, not only do I know that I live in the Fake America, but I also know that I went to a Fake Cornell.

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

Alumni Fight!

Edit: Reading Coulter's column makes me wonder if this is the proper forum for this topic:

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.


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::
