<p>I am confused, why is ILR called NYS college of ILR? I know its funded by the state of ny, but is it not owned by cornell then? when you receive your diploma, does it say new york state college of industrial and labor relations or Cornell?</p>
<p>cornell 10char</p>
<p>i dont get it. then why is it called new york state school if, in the end, its cornell owned? Does cornell even fund the school? why is it not "Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations" instead of "New york college of industrial and labor relations"? Sorry if im asking too many questions, its just that this whole thing is confusing to me.</p>
<p>ILR...and all the contract colleges are owned and run by Cornell but they do receive some money from the state to subsidize tuition for NYS residents among other things...</p>

<p>thanks for the link, but it still doesnt explain if its part of cornell or not. The first line trips me off. It says "The New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) at Cornell University" as if cornell and ILR are seperate institutions :confused: but one is inside the other.</p>
<p>They are not separate....ILR is a part of Cornell. Nowhere on any of your academic records will it say SUNY. Yes...the name is misleading...but I assure you ILR is run by Cornell and not NYS</p>
<p>thanks for the clarification.</p>
<p>CALS, Human Ecology, and ILR are all officially named the "NYS" school/college...that's the name Cornell and NY State agreed upon when the schools were "created." Think of it like you do private endowments: the person giving the largest amount of money to endow a new college unit often has the college/school named after him or her. This is no different from the State of New York.</p>
<p>who cares what the title says - last time I knew, you were there to receive an education</p>
<p>so technically, cals, human eco, ilr are parts of SUNY but also part of cornell, right?</p>
<p>and on the diploma, it will say cornell?</p>
<p>Read the sticky on the top of the forum...</p>
<p>A: Cornell is a private institution, receiving most of its funding through tuition, research grants, and alumni contributions. Three of its seven undergraduate colleges and the graduate-level College of Veterinary Medicine are called contract or statutory colleges. These divisions receive partial funding from the state of New York to support their research and service mission in niche fields. Residents of New York enrolled in the contract colleges pay reduced tuition. Furthermore, the governor of the state serves as an ex-officio member of the board of trustees. Despite some similarities, Cornell's contract colleges are not public or state schools – they are private institutions that Cornell operates by contract with the state government.</p>
<p>Every college defines its own academic programs, manages its own admissions, and confers its own degrees. The degrees are all from Cornell University. New York State and SUNY have no say in any of the workings of the Cornell contract colleges. The only difference between a contract and an endowed college at Cornell is where some money comes from. A state college, on the other hand, receives nearly all its money from the government and is operated by the government.</p>
<p>donjuan78,</p>
<p>Yes, on the diploma it will indeed say "Cornell". Apart from the egotistical aspect of it, I wouldn't let that part worry you.</p>
<p>P.S., way to diss USC in your other thread!</p>
<p>If anyone is curious, only 19.4% of ILR's 2006-2007 operating budget came from New York State. ILR was popularly abbreviated as NYSSILR (New York State School of...) until the mid-70s around the time that state funding dropped below 50%; now it is generally known as the "ILR School."</p>
<p>they're not even parts of SUNY.</p>
<p>yea... they're not SUNY schools (State University of New York). They are just New York State funded (partially) but are private schools.</p>
<p>thats weird because in the wikipedia page that someone posted on here about ILR, it said that it was part of SUNY. Scroll all the way down, in purple, it says "Units of the State University of New York" Cornell</a> University School of Industrial and Labor Relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>on top of that, if you click on State</a> University of New York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and you scroll all the way down, it has NYS College of Human Ecology (Cornell) • NYS College of Veterinary Medicine (Cornell) • NYS School of Industrial and Labor Relations (Cornell) • State College of Optometry" as part of SUNY. </p>
<p>Someone needs to fix/edit that!</p>
<p>Why do you keep insisting that it's a "cheap alumni network"?!? donjuan78, I really fail to understand your reasoning behind that! </p>
<p>Back on topic, I remember the first time I saw Ives Hall, I noticed the "New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations" etched rather imposingly into the main entrance. At first, that just got me all the more confused, but now I'm over it... it's just a name, and frankly I'd care more about the education rather than some stupid moniker attached to it. Unless it's because of a case of ego, I wouldn't let it worry you (but still, someone should "modify" the Wikipedia entry!)</p>
<p>lol, i keep insisting that usc's alumni network is cheap because most people dont find jobs through the alumni network. it is known that the majority of people just go online and find jobs, or just randomly find a job. USC loves to talk about their alumni network, but i dont think its THAT big of a deal. </p>
<p>Back to the topic, (out of curiosity) do you go to cornell, diehdun? someone needs to fix that wiki entry because thats what got me even more confused in the first place.</p>
<p>if somebody reads the wiki entry and decides ILR is not for them because of it - they don't deserve to be at Cornell in the first place</p>
