Is it me or does the Class of 2030 seem abnormally interested in CASE-ing out of intro level courses?

It could be me, as I'm prone to knee-jerk reactions, but the volume of posts asking about this, that, or the other CASE exam has me wondering if this may constitute a discrete data point on the Class of 2030.

The narrative of Warde Manuel running "the dirtiest program in college sports history" seems excessive, no?

There were definitely some problems but this take just seems over the top to me. Thoughts?

Breaking News: Cornell Canadian Alumni Association to Endow Permanent Poutine Station at Okenshields

Cornell Dining Chief Public Relations Officer Chip Dingker announced today that the Cornell Canadian Alumni Association, based in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, has established an endowment that will fund a permanent poutine station at Okenshields Dining Hall. CCAA President Girdom McDonald '87 commented that the Association "felt it was high time that Canada's national dish was available to all on the Ithaca campus: "Back in the day, we had to make our own poutine,. Now everyone will be able to enjoy a hearty plate of stomach-filling, artery clogging fries, cheese curd, and beef gravy!" A partnership with Cornell Dairy to supply the cheese curds was the final piece of the deal to come into place. "This is so beautiful," wept Etinne Rheaume '28, "now I don't have to worry about where my next plate of poutine is coming from!" The station is expected to be up and running for the first day of the Fall 2025 semester.

Is someone using A.I. to generate unlikely room swap requests?

The unending barrage of quite frankly insane room swap requests has me wondering. Not to mention terrified of the shambles this sub will be reduced to when the Class of 2030 gets run over by the speeding bus of course enrollment.

Breaking News: Cornell to extend waitlist admits to course add deadline in F'26

Committed to maximizing the size of the Class of 2030, University Admissions spokesperson Poppy Jones '96 stated on Friday that the University would continue to accept students off the wait list until the course add deadline during the Fall 2026 semester. "This is a Resilient Cornell response to the decline in public confidence in universities as well as the demographic cliff," Jones declared. "We have forced quintuples, introducory CHEM courses, and meal plans to fill up," Jones continued. "We figured that since the State Education Department has approved our course add date, that gives us some flexibility to extend the waitlist a couple of weeks into the semester." Jones also noted that the University has revised its longstanding policy of requiring incoming transfers to wear a sandwich board announcing their status and ringing a handbell to alert others for their first two weeks on campus down to just one week. "Basically it came down to the number of sandwich boards and bells we're gonna need for all the transfers we're piling into this place," admitted Jones.
