As opposed to last week’s April Fools joke, MetaEzra has actually had recent email contact with associate provost Doris Davis regarding next year’s freshmen class size. She has confirmed that the target remains 3,050, and not 3,200 as Skorton announced to the trustees last month. So why did Skorton say 3,200? It’s complete speculation, but maybe it was a simple goof. Or maybe he was being realistic, given Cornell’s tendency to have a higher than anticipated yield rate over the last couple of years.
