TRUSTEES APPROVE BUSINESS COLLEGE

By PHOEBE KELLER Sun Assistant News Editor

Cornell’s Board of Trustees authorized plans for the proposed College of Business Saturday morning, President Elizabeth Garrett and Provost Michael Kotlikoff announced in an email.

The College of Business will merge the School of Hotel Administration, the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management.

Garrett and Kotlikoff called the approval of the controversial new school “the beginning of an inclusive and crucial process that will more fully define the details of how the College of Business will be structured.”

“The plan for the new college will

be developed with broad input from faculty, students, staff and alumni,” they wrote. “We wish to underscore our commitment to making this process inclusive and open for all … your input will be critical to its success.”

In the email, the two administrators also revealed new information about the structure and implementation of the newly approved business school.

The College of Business is expected to open in the 2016-17 academic year and will be composed of 145 research faculty and almost 2,900 undergraduate, professional and graduate students, according to the email.

Donors Sound Off on Announcement Students, Faculty Voice

Feeney ’56 expresses ‘deep concern’ before vote Concerns About New

By JENNA RUDOLFSKY Sun Staff Writer

“I have always supported a strong and independent Hotel School with an equally strong and independent Dean at its helm,” wrote influential alumnus and top donor Charles Feeney ’56 in a letter to the Board of Trustees and President Elizabeth Garrett Thursday.

Both prominent alumni Feeney and John Dyson ’65 wrote letters to the Board of Trustees prior to the Saturday vote approving the proposed College of Business.

In a letter sent out to the Cornell community Saturday, Garrett described the purpose of the Board of Trustees deciFEENEY ’56 sion for the merger.

“Today’s action by the Board of Trustees marks the beginning of an inclusive and crucial process that will more fully define the details of how the College of Business will be structured,” she said.

Feeney, a prominent Cornell alumnus and the University’s biggest donor, is the founding chairman of the nonprofit organization The Atlantic Philanthropies. Since 1982, Feeney’s gifts and commitments to Cornell through Atlantic, originally made anonymously, have totaled nearly $1 billion, according to the University.

In his letter to administrators, Feeney expressed his “deep concern” about the College of Business, which the Board of Trustees later approved on Saturday.

Feeney concluded that after noting the many negative reactions to the proposed new school — including votes by the University Assembly, Student Assembly and Faculty Senate to table plans for the school — the merger is not “appropriate at this time.”

“I don’t believe a decision on the merger is appropriate at this time unless and until additional study of the potential outcomes have been carefully reviewed,” Feeney wrote.

Feeney was only one of many dissenting alumni voices who called for a halt to DYSON ’65 plans for the new college’s development before its approval on Saturday. Many alumni have threatened to pull endowment funding to the University if the plans proceeded unchecked.

Dyson, the primary donor to the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management program, also expressed his concern in a letter to a member of the Board of Trustees.

C.U.Donations Rise by $44.5M In F.Y. 2014-15

Clubfest groovin’

By DIVYANSHA SEHGAL Sun Staff Writer

Philanthropic donations to Cornell increased by $44.5 million — about eight percent — from $546.1 million to $590.6 million for the 2014-15 fiscal year, according to the Council for Aid to Education.

The council, which conducts an annual survey to CAMERON POLLACK / SUN SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER calculate donations, ranked Cornell as the fifth university to receive the most donations, behind Stanford, Members of Breakfree Hip Hop, a student dance club, perform at a spring Clubfest event in Barton Hall Sunday.

Following $50M Donation, Eng. School Named for Robert Smith’85

President Elizabeth Garrett called Smith’s gift “extraordinary,” adding that it will allow Cornell to address the poor representation of women and minority students in engineering programs.

Smith said his gift was partially inspired by the success he found after graduating with a degree from Cornell’s engineering program, adding that he hoped his gift would make the same experience available to a more diverse group of students.

Students, Faculty Raise Concerns Over New College Approval REACTIONS

Continued from page 1

“voices of students, faculty and staff have been ignored.”

“I have believed in the promise of shared governance,” Kaufman said. “But today, my confidence has been shaken.”

However, according to Prof.

Chris Barrett, director of the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and deputy dean and dean of academic affairs designate for the new College of Business, the Board made the right decision in approving the new college.

“The president and provost articulated a bold vision,” Barrett said. “The Board of Trustees took the necessary step of creating a space for the College of Business to act on that vision.”

According to Barrett, the University has already implemented seven committees to make for a smooth transition and allow Cornell community members to actively participate. These committees will consist of individuals from each of the three schools and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

“This is intended to be a highly

participatory and transparent process aimed at ensuring we tap the wealth of good ideas and good will across the Cornell community, in Ithaca and throughout the world,” he said. “Together, we can build the business [college] of the future.”

Still, many said they find fault with Garrett’s and Kotlikoff ’s email, citing a lack of transparency, “behind the scene” actions and the strategic timing of the college’s announcement.

Paul Foley ’74, an alumnus of the hotel school, said he believes the process of creating the business school was troubling on several levels.

“This lack of collaboration has complicated the process and fueled a palpable erosion in trust,” Foley said. “The fact that it was announced in late December during the winter break makes it look underhanded and sneaky.”

Prof. Richard Bensel, government, said Garrett’s email contained “a number of interesting features.”

“For one thing, she reports that she and the trustees had ‘lengthy and thoughtful discussion’ before the plan was approved … we would be justified in suspecting that there were some tense and

contentious moments in this meeting,” Bensel said. “The announcement of ‘town hall’ type meetings with students and faculty also suggest that the trustees urged and may have required that she mend bridges between the central administration and the Cornell community.”

Bensel also said trustees did not issue a statement independently endorsing the Garrett’s course of action.

“It is possible that the president was put on some kind of ‘probation’ by the trustees who, naturally enough, would be very reluctant to replace a president this early in her term,” he said.

Attention Student Groups!

Did you know that you could have Ads courtesy of SAFC?

In the beginning of the semester, student groups can apply for two Corne¬ Daily Sun print advertisements for general recruitment when filling out the SAFC application.

Additionally, every event funded by SAFC can also be promoted with two print advertisements (these do not have to be applied for in the application at the beginning of the semester).

This shaded box is the exact size of all SAFC ads.

Your Ad Here!

To place an advertisement: 1) Fill out the "Daily Sun Advertisement Authorization" form located on the SAFC website; turn in form to Terry Ector in 520 Willard Straight Hall.

2) Send an electronic file of the ad to advertising@cornellsun.com.

3) Form and file must be turned in at least 3 business days prior to the issue date you want your ad to run.

4) Ads should be 3.75 inches wide by 5 inches high and include "Funded by SAFC" at the bottom. Ads that promote events can say "Funded in part by the SAFC" if the organization has received funding from elsewhere and not just the SAFC.

The University Faculty — through the Faculty Senate — has the right to “consider matters of educational policy,” according to Lieberwitz. This legislative body, however, was unable to deliberate the proposal before it was approved by the Board of Trustees.

Like Lieberwitz, Prof. Matthew Evangelista, government, said the administration’s unilateral decision challenged the fabric of shared governance at Cornell.

“The Student Assembly, the University Assembly, the Faculty Senate and prominent alumni sought in the first instance simply to have the decision tabled or delayed so that the necessary consultation, required by Cornell's bylaws and norms of governance, could be carried out,” Evangelista said. “That the provost and the president would insist on going forward with the proposal at this time deliberately puts them and the Trustees in opposition to the representatives of the students, faculty and alumni.”

Many Cornellians are taking to social media to voice their concerns over the new business college. The Facebook page “Keep Cornell Hotel School Independent” has garnered over 1,200 likes and is constantly updating members, allowing viewers to comment on posts and build a strong defense against the plans.

On Saturday, one member posted, “Our team has literally tried everything we could think of.

This is a very sad day for us all.

Let’s stay strong together. Even though Hotel School will be gone after this semester, we will remain as #hotelies4life.”

Members of the Cornell community also voiced concerns at the S.A.’s weekly meeting on Thursday.

“I am pleased that the Student Assembly provided the opportunity to serve as an outlet for student voice and to fully listen to all viewpoints,” S.A. President Juliana Batista said after the vote. “It is unfortunate that the trustee vote on the College of Business appears to disregard the perspective of shared governance including the University Assembly, Student Assembly and faculty. Let alone alumni and influential Cornell figures.”

Prof. Rohit Verma, hotel administration, dean of external relations designate for the College of Business, said he understands

the public response, but emphasizes that each school will remain intact and that this new structure will only foster a stronger business program.

“At their foundation, the concerns raised so far are a healthy expression of a broader issue — concern for the reputation and integrity of each of the schools,” Verma said. “I can assure everyone, as a School of Hotel Administration faculty member and a leader of the future college, that it is the preservation and strengthening of those unique qualities that will distinguish the College of Business from its peers.”

Bensel urges those with any questions or concerns to attend the information session on Tuesday and the town hall meeting on Wednesday.

“My own feeling is that everyone who is interested in this deci-

Prof. Matthew Evangelista sion and relations between the central administration and the Cornell community should attend the Faculty Senate meeting on Feb. 10 when we will take up these issues,” Bensel said.

As the administration moves forward with the College of Business, S.A. undesignated-atlarge Matt Indimine ’18 said he encourages the administration to consult with and inform students, faculty and alumni.

“This plan was approved very undemocratically,” Indimine said.

“I do hope, though, that the administration seeks wide student, faculty, and alumni input in developing the plan. As students, we can only hope that this college does not take away from the uniquely individual missions and characteristics of our respective programs and majors.”

Board of Trustees Approves College of Business

Amid concerns from faculty, students and alumni, merger of three schools to proceed TRUSTEES

Continued from page 1

Garrett and Kotlikoff stressed the interdisciplinary nature of the new college, writing that they predict it will enhance collaboration between different programs.

“For a top-tier university like Cornell, an outstanding and integrated business program … is necessary for success,” they wrote. “Students and faculty need to engage with the economy and business, as well as collaborate with other disciplines.”

The administrators also sought to reassure Cornellians that each of the three merged schools would retain its own “identity and mission” within the College of Business.

“The unique nature of our accredited business schools is among the primary factors that will distinguish the College of Business from its peers,” Garrett and Kotlikoff wrote.

Each of the schools will be governed by a dean who will be responsible for the academic curriculum and admissions of that school, according to the email.

Garrett and Kotlikoff also noted their “regret” about the concerns voiced in recent weeks by Cornell’s students, faculty and alumni, who they said were “understandably upset” about the announcement.

The administrators said that, after hearing from many unhappy alumni, they have committed to work more closely with the alumni community as they move forward on the College of Business project.

Garrett and Kotlikoff expressed their hope that the new college would encourage and enable collaboration between programs in areas including globalization, technology and finance. They added that the College of Business will promote faculty interdisciplinary research efforts and bolster Cornell’s global initiatives.

There will be an informational session Tuesday to field concerns and questions from students and a town hall forum to address Cornell’s faculty and staff on Wednesday, according to the email.

TODD HEISLER / THE NEW YORK TIMES

Matt Lauer interviews presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on the eve of Monday’s Iowa caucuses.

Officials: Ohio Seminarian Accused of Schang Named New Child Molestation Arrested in San Diego Head of Baker Institute CLEVELAND (AP) — A former Ohio seminarian arrested for allegedly seeking to have sex with infants and young girls in Mexico was carrying $2,000 in cash along with baby clothes and a bottle in his luggage, a Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman said Sunday.

Joel Wright, who was arrested Friday in San Diego, had previously traveled to Tijuana in an unsuccessful attempt to adopt a child, authorities said.

According to the criminal complaint, the former student at Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus tried in 2014 to adopt a child in Mexico — going so far as to hand over an “adoption fee” in a Tijuana hotel room — and more recently spelled out in explicit online messages what he hoped to do with an infant and a 4year-old girl.

Asked in an email if he’d previously had sex with infants, Wright allegedly responded: “I have not gone all the way

before but I have made it very close in the past so I do have experance (sic).”

Wright, 23, has been charged with travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and aggravated sexual abuse of a child. He is scheduled to appear in court in Monday.

Court records do not indicate that Wright has an attorney. His mother, Teresa Wright Poquette, told The Associated Press on Sunday that she didn’t believe the allegations.

Poquette, who lives in Vermont where Wright grew up, said she couldn’t say anything more.

Rev. John Allen, vice president for advancement at Pontifical College Josephinum, said Wright began attending the school last fall and that he’d undergone a battery of psychological tests, interviews and a background check before being accepted. Wright lost his status at the seminary when he left the campus without authorization.

“We’re shocked and saddened by the heinous nature of the allegations,” Allen told the AP.

After Wright’s arrest, ICE released a statement saying he had arranged to meet a guide to take him to a hotel in Tijuana after flying from Columbus.

He was instead arrested by Homeland Security agents upon arrival in California.

Wright was arrested after communicating multiple times with a single contact, ICE spokeswoman Lauren Mack told the AP. According to the complaint, Wright placed an ad on the Tijuana Craigslist site in July 2014 that sought to adopt a child, but didn’t succeed when the person who responded — called the “reporting person” in the complaint — took his money and never returned.

The same person, using a different email address, responded to another Craigslist ad from Wright in July 2015, the complaint said. Wright initially said he was interested in marrying a woman and adopting a child, but eventually revealed he wanted to have sex with infants, according to the complaint.

tion of these discoveries to improve the health and well-being of dogs, horses, cats, and other domestic animals, and to help preserve endangered species,” said Schang. “There are very, very, few research and education environments that can compare [in this respect.]”

Interim Dean Lorin Warnick of the College of Veterinary Medicine expressed his belief that Schang is a good fit for the overall goals of the institution, and said that he looks forward to seeing advancements in Schang’s research.

“I am very pleased that Dr. Luis M. Schang will be the next Director of the Baker Institute in the College of Veterinary Medicine,” Warnick said. “His work is a great fit for the strategic goals of the Baker Institute, and we look forward to his continued success in his research as well as his leadership as director.”

A Short-Sighted Rush For Approval THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ DECISION to approve the controversial College of Business, despite fervid backlash from both alumni benefactors and students, feels rushed given the lack of alumni and student input into the final decision. Following the Board’s approval of the college Saturday, President Elizabeth Garrett and Provost Michael Kotlikoff wrote that the approval of the plans for the College of Business “marks the beginning of an inclusive and crucial process.” The mindset behind this sentiment highlights the precise problem that the University did not start widespread discussion on a major change to the fundamental structure of Cornell until after the decision was approved.

The lead up to the approval of the College of Business stirred a great deal of criticism among many Cornellians due to the surprising nature of the decision to consolidate resources. Following the announcement of the plans for the College of Business during exams period, many expressed legitimate concerns, which were exemplified by a letter penned by megadonor Charles Feeney ’56, which read, “I don’t believe a decision on the merger is appropriate at this time unless and until additional study of the potential outcomes have been carefully reviewed.” In addition, the administration decided to approve a move for a school — that prides itself on the ideals of shared governance — that the University Assembly, the Student Assembly and the Faculty Senate wanted to table. The decision to hold a forum after approving the college reads like a reactionary move made to roll over the tide of negative press facing the University’s post-announcement, rather than a genuine attempt to listen to the concerns of the community at large.

While Cornell is an institution that ranks in the top 20 beneficiaries of philanthropy in higher education in large part due to generous donations from alumni, the decision to move forward with the plans for the College of Business without community input alienates a significant number of alumni. These benefactors, at the end of the day, are among the most critical reasons Cornell remains one of the top academic institutions of higher education in the world, especially since the University has a much smaller endowment compared to peer institutions. The alienation of notable financial benefactors to the University, as a result, has the potential to significantly affect Cornell’s endowment in the long-term, with many threatening to pull donations from the University. Garrett and Kotlikoff write that the questions and concerns regarding the decision will be “addressed going forward,” when in actuality, they should have already been answered before this ] decision was made.

Although the decision to move forward with the College of Business is likely finalized, the University should not ignore those seeking more transparency and explanation from the administration. Cornell needs genuine input from its alumni and student base for the College of Business to become a successful venture for our community.

The Brochure Illusion C

rashing the charts last summer, the most recent rendition of our nation’s favorite song arrived in the form of a landmark SCOTUS decision on samesex marriage. That song dominated every medium, as dissenters found themselves drowned out by millions of approving, celebratory voices. In fact, one could argue that Americans hadn’t sung so loudly and proudly since the election of Barack Obama, a moment which was also accompanied by the requisite fanfare and aplomb.

Of course, the truth is that being a person of color in 2016 is not a radically different experience from being a person of color in 2007, and identifying as LGBTQ in 2016 still leaves you considerably more susceptible to verbal harassment and economic inequality.

Along the same vein, I have reason to believe that the women of 2017, were Hillary to be elected this year, will not be free from the grip of sexism. Yet, should Mrs. Clinton win, I’m also pretty sure that yet another bout of rapturous praise and optimism will seize our nation, followed swiftly by the sobering reality.

We’ve been singing the same stale songs ever since the civil rights era “ended” with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These songs are the cathartic lullabies of racial harmony, crooned by weary parents to innocent children. They are the melodies of miseducation and biased history. They are the grotesque choruses belted by a fallacy-ridden media. These songs have

Diversity and inclusion is not a muscle to be flexed, a competitive tool for corporate entities or an obligatory appeasement to minority constituencies. Diversity is, quite simply, an overdue response to systemic oppression, which itself is a reality deeply rooted in ideology, policy and history. Oppression is painfully, undeniably inherent to the human condition and gets knitted into the neuronal stitches of our brain chemistry from the moment we are born. Oppression, imbued into the tapestry of our species’ existence, is omnipresent and all-powerful. Indeed, oppression is the way and the truth and the life of the world.

And if you don’t know why or how oppression can be all of this, please ask. Because unless you do, I don’t want to hear the words diversity or inclusion come out of your mouth and I damn sure don’t want to receive your emails.

ince 2012, the United Nations has commissioned three publications of The World Happiness Report, a comprehensive annual report published by Columbia University’s Earth Institute, directed by economist Jeffrey Sachs. With the advent of internationally comparable data measuring subjective well-being and happiness, the reports propose an approach to public policy that focuses not only on increasing individual wealth, but also on improving other factors that contribute to life satisfaction, such as political freedom, social networks and a lack of corruption. People report the highest levels of happiness in Northern European countries like Denmark and Finland, while the countries with the lowest levels of happiness are all in Sub-Saharan Africa. These reports fall under the domain of happiness economics, a growing field of study that takes a theoretical as well as a quantitative approach to measure happiness, quality of life and well-being by combining economic concepts with related fields such as psychology and sociology.

In the neoliberal era, roughly characterized as a period of relaxed economic regulations in the wake of the 1980s and onward, humans have become actors in the market economy and every action is commoditized.

Neoliberalism is best understood as the invisible apparatus by which every action is economized as part of the world market, including activities that don’t necessarily generate material wealth, like learning, romantic interactions or happiness. As we become more accustomed to assigning value to all aspects of everyday life, human beings transform into human capital, charged with the burden of constantly adding to their present and future value.

The Industrial Revolution led to an unprecedented improvement in the standard of living, and for the past 250 years or so

Calculating Happiness we’ve typically accepted that economic growth creates the happiness that accompanies an improved quality of life. This is partly true: increased income contributes to an individual’s well-being, at least until a certain point. In general, people in developed countries are healthier, live longer and have higher incomes than peope from at any point in human history. However, the neoliberal understanding of happiness and well-being as

ket economy, individuals in developing countries have more access than ever to the highquality goods and services that have typically been consumed by only members of wealthier nations. In absolute terms, these people are better off. But humans tend to measure life satisfaction on a relative scale: over 40 years ago, American economist Richard Easterlin found that humans compare themselves to small groups of their own peers rather than to

The neoliberal understanding of happiness and well-being as a linear function of economic growth fails to account for the complexities of unprecedented growth in a globalized setting. linear functions of economic growth fails to account for the complexities of unprecedented growth in a globalized setting. In recent decades, many countries have blindly pursued GDP growth at the expense of social and environmental factors. As a tool to compare the quality of life across countries, GDP has never really been an accurate gauge of a country’s economic well-being. Because of widening wealth and income gaps in most countries, an increase in GDP rarely coincides with an increase in the standard of living for the average citizen. More importantly, increased GDP can’t tell us whether or not economic growth is sustainable.

Inseparable from the day to day operations of the market economy, this understanding of well-being that is so dependent on continuous economic growth can only evaluate an individual’s well-being in economic terms. Thanks to the globalized mar-

some global standard. This is the paradox of understanding changes in individual levels of happiness in a globalized market economy: the world becomes smaller with every advance in technology and communication, yet our individual points of reference remain largely unchanged. Even as economies and supply chains have become increasingly interdependent, humans have not adapted the same international focus when evaluating their own levels of life satisfaction.

It’s tempting to look at increased consumption levels of individuals in developing countries and conclude that people are better off, but life satisfaction is relative in scale. Just because people in developing countries now have microwaves and color televisions does not necessarily mean their standard of living has improved. On a larger scale, the fact that the richest nation in the world (the United States) fears the possibility that the economies

of other nations (e.g. China) might soon catch up to our levels of consumption and production reveals the striking inconsistency between reality and the idealized notion that sustained growth will somehow drive us to a point when every human benefits from a decent quality of life. Happiness is relative, and as people continue to compare their own well-being to that of people in their immediate vicinity or social circle, it becomes easier to lose sight of the growing wealth inequality on a global scale.

It should go without saying that happiness isn’t a commodity and shouldn’t be treated as such.

Because we evaluate our life satisfaction by observing others in close proximity, happiness begins with community and social trust — concepts so necessary for the human experience that they are impossible to assign value.

Although happiness is perhaps too complicated a concept to use as a proxy for general wellbeing, the very existence of the World Happiness Reports and other measures of happiness are a cause for optimism as we move away from the belief that wealth and life satisfaction necessarily move in lockstep. Any attempt to look beyond income as the only contributing factor to well-being is progress in the right direction. However, the objective to quantify happiness must not be confused with attempts to commodify a general form of well-being; we can calculate happiness without trying to reframe it as something with market value that can be bought and sold.

Tradition and Change in East Asian Art

BY TROY SHERMAN Arts & Entertainment Assistant Editor

To my eye, there is at least one major obstacle to curating an exhibition of non-Western traditional artists: striking a balance between educating viewers about the artistic traditions of a foreign culture and letting the art just speak for itself. The Herbert F. Johnson Museum’s new exhibition — Tradition, Transmission and Transformation in East Asian Art — ultimately teeters over to the former side of that conundrum, though it also certainly serves as a thorough exploration of and initiation to East Asian ink painting for a lay audience. That is, the works of art which TTT presents — regal, sprawling, ascetic or harmonious and almost invariably gorgeous — oftentimes seem threatened, in their ability to paint a variegated and brimming East Asian artistic history, by the wall’s expository blurbs which seek to do it for them.

The exhibition’s purported goal, as stated on the wall of the Moak Gallery at its immediate entrance, is to explore “how cultural images and artistic styles that originated in China were adopted and adapted in Korea and Japan.” By capitalizing on the sheer mass and breadth of the Johnson’s collection, TTT makes impressive strides towards doing just that. Spanning three rooms and comprised of what must approach (if not more than) 40 different papers and scrolls, the exhibition certainly serves as an adequate compendium of a region’s shared, almost 600-year artistic tradition.

The Johnson’s basement walls are populated by works ranging in creation date from the 15th to the 20th century, whose subject matter stretches from religious (Buddhist), to philosophical (Confucian), to naturalistic (the Four Gentleman of East Asian botany), to poetic themes. Their countries of origin are China, Japan and Korea. As such, empty wallspace is rare.

Concussion: A Hard-Hitting Look at the NFL

BY MARINA WATTS Sun Staff Writer

“Let's say you run a multibillion-dollar football league. And let's say the scientific community — starting with one young pathologist in Pittsburgh and growing into a chorus of neuroscientists across the country — comes to you and says concussions are making your players crazy, crazy enough to kill themselves, and here, in these slices of brain tissue, is the proof. Do you join these scientists and try to solve the problem, or do you use your power to discredit them?”

This is the opening of a GQ article called “Game Brain” by Jeanne Marie Laskas. “Game Brain” serves as the main source material for the sports drama Concussion, a film that describes the controversy surrounding the NFL’s attempt to ignore the danger of the title injury.

Directed by Peter Landesman, the film focuses on the major findings of Dr. Bennet Omalu (Will Smith), who noted the severe damage that concussions can cause professional football players. The NFL tries to deny his findings and, throughout the film, he attempts to persuade people that his results are valid.

Omalu is a forensic pathologist based outside of Pittsburgh who came to America from Nigeria. Upon performing the autopsy of former Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster (David Morse), Omalu discovers brain damage that rarely occurs in such a young person.

He later finds that multiple concussions caused Webster’s frontal lobe to become severely damaged and caused cognitive issues, including dementia, amnesia and other physical and psychological pain.

As other football players start to experience similar symptoms, the truth surfaces concerning the true head trauma that football players suffer. Similar to how the cigarette companies persuaded their consumers that smoking was not linked to lung cancer, the NFL tries to cover up football’s health risks.

With the help of Dr. Julian Bales (Alec Baldwin) and Dr. Cyril Wecht (Albert Brooks), Omalu fights the NFL board’s false claims with medical evidence. Even though Omalu’s findings were suppressed for a while, concussions are growing more common in football players and their dangers are better understood, due to his and his colleagues’ research.

Omalu finds that all football players who suffer mentally and physically from head injuries have chronic traumatic encephalopathy, clearly due to multiple concussions over an extended period of time. Even though evidence was not detected on certain scans, it became clearer as more football players experienced the same symptoms.

Although the Academy failed to nominate Smith for his role in Concussion, it is important to note the effort that Smith and his supporting cast put into their roles. Smith and Landesman spent time observing autopsies, including a few done by Bennet Omalu himself. Alec Baldwin also observed doctors in Pittsburgh to better understand his role in the film. Unfortunately, Concussion did not receive a single Oscars nomination.

Its compelling story deserved consideration for this award.

Since the film is based on such a recent story and there is much being done to prevent serious head injuries for football players, Concussion could serve as a springboard to other investigations. For a while, the NFL attempted to mitigate Omalu’s claims and argued that the league was not at fault for the severe head trauma that players sustained during their careers.

However, the NFL is definitely the target that Landesman aims at. He knows that the contact sport is

a major part of many fans’ lives and targets only the NFL, not football as a whole. He says that he ensured that there is beautiful footage of football in the movie, and there is. It “embraces what’s great and graceful about it,” Landesman said. This is made evident throughout, as his chosen gameplay clips show the game’s beauty.

The spirit of the game is not lost. Clearly the NFL is the issue; their regulations are good, but not good enough.

Another filmmaker could also potentially collect lots of first-hand accounts and evidence for a more indepth documentary in response to this wellmade narrative.

Concussion has already led to the creation of a foundation named after Dr. Omalu with the goal of advancing the research and treatment of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

In a statement to COURTESY OF COLUMBIA PICTURES CNN, the NFL claimed that the league “has made numerous changes to the game to enhance the health and safety of players at all levels of football. These include nearly 40 rule changes in the last decade, strict concussion protocols, and better training and sideline medical care. The game continues to change, and the safety of our players remains our highest priority.”

The ongoing debate about football players’ safety has come to the forefront of many fans’ minds. Hopefully Concussion sheds more light on the issue for further speculation. It takes a safe and smart approach to spark further discussion on such a serious matter: better regulations that ensure players’ safety.

Revisiting Gilmore Girls: A Retrospective

ditionally loyal and much more emotionally vulnerable than Rory tends to be. Her tumultuous relationship with her own parents often packed more of an emotional punch than any other storylines, and, when rewatching, I saw that the core of the show is actually a trio of characters that includes Emily.

Much of Gilmore Girls centers around cultural exchange between mother and daughter, and the audience is invited to be part of this exchange as well. I understood a lot more of the pop culture, music and literary references than I did the first time around (Glad majoring in English hasn’t been a waste!). I felt particularly snobbily gratified when I picked up on rapid-fire references to Mark Twain’s “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” and Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” in the same sentence. Also, I totally did not realize the significance of Midnight Radio Sebastian Bach playing Gil, or that Carole King made a cameo as Sophie, the owner of the local music store. It her when I grew up, without even realizing was incredibly fun to engage with these how cool it was that Rory goes on to be a cultural gems sprinkled throughout in a reporter for Barack Obama’s campaign for way that my younger self could not.

Another realization I had: pretty much an online magazine described as “a mix between Slate and the lifestyle section of every male love interest in Gilmore Girls comes across as possessive and entitled, and The New York Times.”

t’s official: Gilmore Girls is coming back for the final season that creator Amy Sherman-Palladino never got to make, Netflix confirmed Friday. Inspired by all the recent revival-induced buzz around the series, I took to nostalgically rewatching every single season during the past few months. Unsurprisingly, the series drew me in just as much as it had the first times I saw it but, also unsurprisingly, I had some different perspectives than my late middle school/early high school self did.

As an English major from Connecticut at an Ivy League university who writes for the school paper and wants to be a journalist, it is hard not to identify with Rory. As a ninth grader, I pretty much wanted to be

books. Meanwhile, Jess picks multiple fights with Dean when he decides that he likes Rory, unconcerned about damaging their relationship. It seems like most fans of the show are “Team Jess,” but once they are finally together, he suddenly moves to California without even breaking up with her first. Logan does not really deserve an explanation, but needless to say, I am glad she doesn’t marry him.

As for Lorelai’s relationships, one of the most hilariously obnoxious moments of the show occurs when Jason waits in the lobby of her inn after she asks him to leave, and tells Luke that he and Lorelai are still together despite her having dumped him.

Then there is Christopher trying to break up Lorelai and Luke just because Emily gave him permission to do so. And I love Luke and Lorelai together just as much as the next Gilmore Girls fan, but it strikes me as a problem that Luke damages a car and punches a man in the face in the name of jealousy.

But I digress. As far as other observations go, I think there are a few ways in which Gilmore Girls has not aged perfectly.

For example, I noticed there are a lot of weird throwaway gay jokes, such as jokes about how people would “start to wonder” if a man is single for too long. It also seems unlikely that there’s not a single openly queer character in all of Stars Hollow, or at Yale. The show’s racial diversity may have been better than others of its time, and as someone from a small-ish Connecticut town, the overwhelming whiteness of Stars Hollow is probably accurate. But you would think Rory would have encountered more diversity at Yale, and the stereotypical depiction of Mrs. Kim might not have flown today. I note all this not because I think that Gilmore Girls is homophobic or racist, but it is an interesting study in how

the our mentalities about entertainment have changed in the past ten years (even though there is still a long ways to go).

Gilmore Girls also raises questions about privilege that the show never confronts. A major part of Lorelai’s identity is that she rejected her parent’s wealthy and lavish lifestyle and that she made it entirely on her own. She worked her way up from being a maid at the Independence Inn at 16 to becoming its manager and raising Rory on her own. But someone without Lorelai’s privilege would not have been able to work her way up in the same way and would not have the support system in place that she did to fall back on. When Lorelai needs money to pay for Rory’s private school tuition, as much as she hates doing it, she is able to ask her parents for help.

When Rory needed to pay for Yale, she had that option as well. It would have been interesting to see the show’s writing address the question of privilege in some way, even if the characters did not.

Despite the above arguments, Gilmore Girls is still a timelessly lovable and endearing show, and I am more than a little excited for the four new 90-minute episodes that are promised to appear on Netflix sometime in the all-too-distant future. The best thing about Gilmore Girls is that it’s a female-centric show about characters that are incredibly complex and flawed. It is centered around women going about the ordinary progression of their lives, not driven by earth-shattering events, but by the mundane. This should not be so rare, but if there is another show that matches it in that respect, I would love to know about it.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Jamal Crawford and Clippers’ Bench Powers L.A. to Resounding Victory Over Bulls

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Don’t mess with the Clippers’ bench.

Their reserves have been dominant in Blake Griffin’s absence, with Jamal Crawford leading the way with 26 points in a 120-93 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.

In the Clippers’ last four games — all wins — the reserves have outscored the opponent’s bench 184-78. Their winning streak has coincided with Griffin being out at least a month after breaking his right hand while punching the team’s assistant equipment manager.

“Our bench has been better than fantastic,” Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers said. “You could see Jamal had it going and they were trying to get it to him every single time. That whole group, they don’t worry about misses anymore. I want them to play free, fast and aggressive.”

J.J. Redick added 21 points and DeAndre Jordan had 17 points and 20 rebounds for the Clippers, who improved to 15-3 without Griffin.

“It was a collective effort, but Jamal went on a killing spree,” said Chris Paul, who had 19 points and seven assists. “That team right there, they don’t go away. They just keep on coming and we took all their punches.”

The Clippers had three double-digit scorers off the bench a game after their reserves scored 56 points in a 105-93 win over the Lakers. Austin Rivers added 16 and Wesley Johnson had 11.

The Clippers made 17 3-pointers, and Rivers led the way with five.

Jimmy Butler scored 23 points, Derrick Rose added 20 and Pau Gasol had 15 points and 14 rebounds for the Bulls, who never made a run in the fourth. They’ve lost four of six and dropped to 10-11 on the road.

“We’re trying to play our best ball up until the All-Star break,” Rose said. “Give ourselves a good taste in our mouth and when we come back, we come back with a sense of urgency, giving that effort every game.”

Crawford scored the Clippers’ first eight points of the fourth, pushing their lead to 9275. He had 12 points total in the quarter.

“We weren’t guarding anybody,” Butler said. “When we’re not guarding anybody we’re not very tough.”

Rose and Butler were held to four points each in the third.

Los Angeles pulled away in the third after clinging to a fourpoint lead at the start of the quarter. Led by Redick’s 11 points, the Clippers built the game’s first double-digit lead. In one stretch, they outscored the Bulls 15-9 despite going nearly 2 1/2 minutes without a field goal to take an 84-73 lead. During that spurt, the Clippers made 7 of 8 free throws and got defensive stops.

TIP-INS Bulls: Butler’s first basket of the game pushed him over 4,000 career points. ... G Kirk Hinrich was scoreless on two shots in his return after missing six games

with a left quad contusion. ... GF Mike Dunleavy is getting closer to playing after back surgery that has kept him out since the season began. He has resumed practicing and will likely return after the All-Star break.

Clippers: Griffin wasn’t at Staples Center for the second straight game and neither was staff member Matias Testi, the team’s way of minimizing distractions surrounding their altercation in Toronto last weekend. ... F Jeff Ayres, who has had two points and two blocks in two games since his debut last weekend, will be signed to another 10-day contract. ... The series is even at 1-1 after the Clippers lost 83-80 on the road Dec. 10.

HACK-A-DJ The Bulls employed a familiar tactic, fouling Jordan down the stretch in an attempt to take advantage of his 42.1 percent free-throw shooting. Jordan hit 5 of 8 in the game, including 3 of 4 in the third.

“That takes a strategy away at least momentarily,” Rivers said.

“It’ll be back the next game, don't worry.”

Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said, “We did it to try and stay in it, but DeAndre was in a pretty good rhythm and really had his stroke going.”

PAINT POINTS About the only area the Bulls dominated was in the paint, where they owned a 56-36 edge.

“We went into the locker room with a deficit but easily could have had the lead,” Hoiberg said. “In the second half it just snowballed. They got comfortable. Our shots weren’t falling and it affected us at the other end. You’ve got to have that grit, that toughness all the way through, and we didn't have it at the end.”

No. 6 Villanova Overcomes Slow First Half To Escape St. John’s at Madison Square Garden NEW YORK (AP) — Villanova didn’t look like the No. 6 team in the country in the first half against St. John’s on Sunday.

The Wildcats, the first place team in the Big East, had a terrible opening 20 minutes but righted themselves in the second half for a 68-53 victory over the Red Storm at Madison Square Garden.

Josh Hart had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Kris Jenkins added 14 points and 11 rebounds for Villanova (18-3, 8-1) which handed St. John’s its 12th straight loss.

Villanova, which came in third in the conference at 46.4 percent from the field, shot 7 for 30 (23.3 percent), including 2 for 10 from 3-point range in the first half. It was the Wildcats’ worst first half shooting this season. They shot 26.7 percent (8 of 30) in a 78-55 loss to No. 1 Oklahoma in Hawaii.

Villanova had 11 turnovers, matching its season average of 10.9 for 40 minutes. And yet the Wildcats still managed a 28-27 halftime lead despite not having starting center Daniel Ochefu.

“I was happy the second half we kind of got it going,” Wildcats coach Jay Wright said of the 50 percent shooting in the final 20 minutes (14 of

28). “I thought the big key was Kris and Darryl Reynolds on the boards. That was big. Josh did a good job too. Without Daniel that was big for us.”

Ochefu, a 6-foot-11 senior, was accidentally elbowed in the head at practice Friday and is now undergoing concussion protocol. He is averaging 9.7 points and a team-leading 8.3 rebounds.

“We just took the precaution of leaving him home since what’s the sense of traveling knowing hes not playing and the best thing for concussions is just rest,” Wright said. “So they’ll check him today to see if he is symptom free. If he is symptom free today then that starts the process of concussion recovery.”

Jenkins’ rebounds were a career high.

“Going into every game I try to focus on rebounding. It’s just today I was able to get to a lot more because Daniel usually grabs most of the rebounds,” he said laughing.

Mikal Bridges added 13 points for Villanova, which finished with a 48-35 rebound advantage.

The Wildcats, who had a nine-game winning streak snapped by No. 10 Providence in their last game, held at least a 10-point lead over the final 13 minutes. The biggest lead was 20 points.

Spartans Hit 17 3-Pointers in Win Over Rutgers EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Bryn Forbes scored all 18 of his points in the first half and No. 12 Michigan State tied a school record with 17 3pointers in a 96-62 victory over Rutgers on Sunday night.

The Spartans (19-4, 6-4 Big Ten) have won three in a row since a three-game losing streak that dropped them well off the pace in the conference title race. They had little trouble with Rutgers (6-16, 0-9) thanks to their torrid outside shooting.

Michigan State led 44-33 at halftime after shooting 9 of 16 from 3-point range. The Spartans finished 17 of 32 from beyond the arc, one game after going 16 of 26 from long distance in a blowout win over Northwestern.

Mike Williams scored 18 points for the Scarlet Knights.

Michigan State led 6-3 when Eron Harris missed a jumper with 17:24 left in the first half.

The Spartans didn’t attempt another field goal from inside the arc until Forbes missed a jumper with 8:02 remaining.

In between, Michigan State attempted 13 3pointers and made eight, including six in a row at

one point. Two free throws by Matt McQuaid were the only points for the Spartans in that stretch that didn’t come from beyond the arc. The Spartans led 29-13 after a 3 by Denzel Valentine.

The second half was more of the same.

Michigan State went on a 20-0 run — including a 3 by McQuaid and three of them by Valentine — to lead 78-43.

Valentine scored 20 points and Harris had 14.

Corey Sanders and Omari Grier scored 17 each for Rutgers.

Michigan State also made 17 3-pointers against Purdue on Feb. 20, 2014.

Tip-Ins

Rutgers: This was the first time the Scarlet Knights had ever faced Michigan State in East Lansing.

Michigan State: The Spartans were without PG Tum Tum Nairn, who hasn't played since Jan. 14 because of a foot injury. ... Michigan State finished with a 33-2 edge in second-chance points.

Up Nexgt

Rutgers: Hosts Illinois on Wednesday night.

Michigan State: Plays at Michigan on Saturday.

Schafer is confident the Red can bounce back from the unfortunate end to the game.

“We’re not happy about it,” he said. “But I think it is something we will overcome and gain our confidence back working hard as a team.”

Cornell stayed in Northern New York for Saturday night’s contest against the Saints of St. Lawrence (13-11-2, 7-6-1) — another 2-1 overtime loss.

A goal 20 seconds into overtime Saturday evening handed the Cornell men’s hockey team its second 2-1 overtime loss on a frustrating road trip.

Head coach Mike Schafer ’86 expressed the team’s frustration coming out of Saturday night’s game.

“The whole weekend was frustrating in the sense of back-to-back overtime losses on the road,” he said.

“There’s not much you can say.”

The Red (11-7-3, 6-6-2 ECAC) faced off against the Clarkson Golden Knights (13-10-3, 5-6-3) on Friday in Potsdam, N.Y. The Knights were

fierce out of the gate, dominating Cornell in the first period with 11 shots compared to the Red’s two.

Nevertheless, both sides were scoreless at the end of the period.

Cornell got back on track in the second period after Clarkson committed a pair of penalties early in the period. At the end of the second-man advantage, freshmen forwards Anthony Angello and Mitch Vanderlaan were able to link up for Vanderlaan’s sixth goal of the season.

This put the Red up 1-0 four minutes into the second quarter.

Clarkson took the momentum right back from Cornell right before second intermission. Junior James de Haas of the Golden Knights put the

puck past junior goalie Mitch Gillam from the top of the faceoff circle. The game remained even at 1-1 until overtime.

The officials called Angello for holding a little more than halfway through overtime, which proved costly for Cornell. Clarkson’s Terrance Amorosa fired a one-timer from the top of the right circle to give Cornell the loss with less than 30 seconds left in overtime. Schafer and the Red left Friday empty handed.

“What was ... frustrating was an absolutely brutal call by the official that led to a powerplay,” Schafer said. “[Amorosa] shot the puck in front of See M. HOCKEY page 15
