Story time. An example of how intentionally bad Cornell is at reckoning with legitimate complaints, albeit lower stakes. When I taught at the Law School, in 2022 and 2023 there was a slew of incidents involving a never identified person who pissed, shit, and left semen smeared in hallways, floors, stairways, classrooms, etc. The Dean was aware but tried to hide it from the faculty despite $$$ damage incurred and it being… gross. After months of gaslighting, I complained to central campus. (Along with other unrelated issues.) Eventually, I was officially advised the problem was resolved because the Dean had long known about the problem. In its infinite wisdom, Cornell renewed the Dean’s contract even though the shitter’s reign of terror carried on after I departed. After I departed, a town hall was called by the students to complain about the shitter (and other stuff). The Dean did nothing. The shitting continued through at least Spring 2024. Same MO. This is what Cornell does. It quite literally allowed its law school community to be terrorized by bodily fluids for years on end. It’s only corrective action was to try to hide it was happening, not solve the problem. And the guy ultimately responsible for fixing the problem never did—but they re-upped him anyways. He’s still the Dean. And proud alums of the shitter’s reign of terror still call their alma mater Shit Law.
