Why would a person who attended an essentially unrelated school claim to have attended a different school? On this basis I could claim to have a degree from a couple of large universities where I never set foot. Universities that had huge budgets, big-name professors, and different curricula. I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Coulter on this one. You are frightening. Coulter is in disagreement with the Cornell website as well as a grad on this thread. Yet, you believe the stupid twat who always has had an inclination to lie when it serves her. Amazing....simply amazing. BTW found any WMDs in Iraq yet?

Inode, Cornell is made up of seven undergraduate colleges (and I forget how many grad schools). Three of those colleges are partially funded by the state, which means they can charge less for tuition, especially for NY state residents. One of them is the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Lots of my Cornell friends who went pre-med attended that school for obvious reasons, including to save on tuition. They are Cornell alum just as much as I am, and anyone who claims otherwise is blowing smoke. Now I have no idea why the Ag school also has communications majors. One of my wife's best friends was a communications major at Cornell, and I know those people tend to get a negative rep among other Cornellians. I think this is why Ann Coulter said what she said, even though it is wrong nonetheless. By the way, comm majors aren't the only ones who have a negative rep at Cornell. The College of Human Ecology (another state-funded college like Ag) has a major that used to be called Human Development and Family Studies, or HDFS. It's also known derisively as "How Dumb Females Survive." Tenchusatsu
