<p>Speaking of facts… The FACT (#1) is that the contract colleges of Cornell offers tuition discounts to NYS residents. (And that logically means that it will have a higher proportion of NYS matriculants.) And the FACT (#2) is that a portion of Cornell’s budget is subject to the whims of the NYS Legislature. </p>
<p>Facts 1 & 2 are unique in the Ivy League. None of the other seven colleges in the Ancient Eight offer instate discounts nor have to deal with their state legislatures for a portion of their budget dollars.</p>
<p>What’s the issue?</p>
<p>btw: I’m a big fan of Cornell.</p>
