I was also hoping for Stanford. This is not meant to disrespect Cornell - I just question how additive it will be. Cornell has long produced great Engineers, but many wind up in NYC anyway. Will cutting the prop plane to Ithica really be a game changer? The most interesting part is the Technion angle.
With Stanford, you could accomplish two things. First of all, you add incremental Engineering talent. Second, uoubopen a new network and way of thinking. It really could have been a game changer.
My question for Hizzoner Da Mayor... Why not both?

- cornell532 15y agoCornell is also planning to build 2,000,000 sf. That's more than 2x as much as the next closest (Columbia) which, in turn, is far more than any other proposal. Cornell's proposal was just very big and ambitious.
- mathattack 15y agoInteresting. In Columbia's case I would ask, "you are already there, what are you waiting for? Free land?"
- cornell532 15y agoBasically, yes.
