Guilty!

The most remarkable thing about the subtitle of this column, “A Cornell student presents her senior thesis in her underwear,” is that not one reader will think it’s a joke.
That, my friends, is further proof of the low esteem in which most Americans hold our universities.
The Left has rendered our universities, in the description of Harvard professor Steven Pinker, a laughingstock.
As reported in the Cornell Daily Sun and then around the world, this is what actually happened last week at Cornell University, one of our “Ivy League” universities:
Letitia Chai, a Cornell senior, presented a trial run of her college-scholar senior thesis wearing a blue button-down shirt and cutoff jean shorts. Her professor, Rebekah Maggor, asked her, “Is that really what you would wear?” The professor went on to say that Chai’s shorts were “too short” – that, as a speaker, she was making a “statement” with the clothes she was wearing.
...
It’s hard to know which aspect of this story is the most ludicrous and the most disturbing.
Is it the students stripping down to their underwear? That delivering a senior thesis in one’s underwear before fellow students, most of whom also stripped down to their underwear, is acceptable – even honored – at Cornell University tells you just about all you need to know to understand the degraded state of Cornell and most other American universities.

Uh, wasn’t this discussed here a couple weeks ago? With pics of the subject in her drawers? To cries of: “PUT IT ON! PUT IT ON!”
Ba-da ping!
Was her thesis on group rates vs. traditional prostitution vs. strip club wages?
It’s a shame she wasn’t hotter, and felt that she needed to retain the trappings of conventional inequality by hiding her true humanness behind a few flimsy pieces of cloth.
Yes, but even graded on a curve, she still failed, being imperceptible. Even those handicapped classmates requiring Braille couldn’t detect.
No, she is just a female David Hogg (but I repeat myself).
Cornell song is appropriate - on the shores of lake ....... there is an awful smell - it is student body and faculty and staff of Cornell.
Referring to my handy laminated copy of the hot/crazy matrix, it seems that this young thing falls outside of the marriage zone.
Referring to mine, I think she falls outside the “Date” zone.
I think that answers my question, thanks. TPI*N*WWP.
Don’t objectify me! Stop looking at me like a piece of meat! My eyes are up here!
Here I am in my underwear presenting my thesis.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
City of Evil?
It was very nice of her to TELEGRAPH A WARNING TO PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS — DON’T HIRE ME. Google will NOT be her friend!
From the pics in the previous iteration of this, she would have gotten a FAIL! Don’t have them, don’t want to see them again. ;-)
Pass
Was it her first crack at her senior thesis?
Guilty!
But from the graphic on the screen, perhaps she can triforce?
her parents (if she has any, if she wasn’t raised from a test tube)....
must be SOOOOO proud!

It mght have worked for Brooke Shields at Princeton, or even Jodie Foster at Yale. Neither needed it, you had to spend $3 for a magazine or $3.50 for a showng of Blue Lagoon or Taxi Driver. Jodie was good in Bugsy Malone, though.
