Cornell's Tough Year Continues

I wrote back in November that Cornell was having an exceptionally difficult year, especially given the budget situation and the high number of student fatalities.

Unfortunately, the trend continues. I was talking to a friend yesterday about the high number of student deaths this year, and told him I'd look through the Sun archives to try to compare this year's number to previous year's.

Well, B.C. over at Ithacating did exactly this, so go over to his blog for more.

If you count the Ph.D. student, that makes for nine fatalities. Comparably, the [Daily Sun's] 'tragic' node records three student fatalities for the entirety of the previous academic year.

This has been a truly unfortunate year for the student body of Cornell.
