I suspect she was given the opportunity to "clear the bar" only because she was part of Ezra's family.ugarte
Feels like maybe the bar was a little too high if she's the only woman who cleared it.Al DeFlorio
In sharp contrast with my engineering class, where she was the entire female contingent: [www.theatlantic.com]Swampy

I... guess?
If I was interested in increasing diversity in CS enrollments I don't think Cornell would be among my targets. I suppose we will now admit applicants from Shandong and Pearl River.
Well, they can't all be from Shanghai and Beijing, can they?
Listen, in 2019 the incoming class in Engineering was 51% female. This is an incredible accomplishment. Unlike some people, I'm not subscribing to ethnic stereotypes. But frankly I don't give a shit where students come from to achieve diversity, if they also help achieve things like gender equity, less systemic racism, etc.

Feels like the bar involved having a penis.

While probably not popular with the local residents, lighting would be a huge improvement. Currently there is no way to play or practice after dark, which is an issue early in the season. That being said, as one of the handful of spectators at Cornell baseball games, it is sad that the facility has to move from central campus. Before I retired, I used to hold office hours in the stands and grade papers between innings.
