Rob Fishman '08 has an excellent column in today’s Daily Sun criticizing the U.S. News rankings and those who consistently point them. He maintains:The rankings seek to drive a wedge between Ezra Cornell’s credo and David Skorton’s administration, when, in truth, the two should uphold the same mission.
Exactly.
Unfortunately, Fishman’s column was not available online this morning. When you tried to access his column through the Daily Sun’s website, one received only an “access denied” error message.
Of course this is not a one time incident. That Cornell University has literally hundreds of some of the smartest computer and information science students in the country, and yet the student-run paper has been continuously plagued with website problems is a major embarrassment not only to the Daily Sun, but also to the University, its students, and its alumni.
Update: The Sun has fixed the problem, and now all can enjoy Fishman's piece.
