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 its 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 Chais shorts were too short that, as a speaker, she was making a statement with the clothes she was wearing.
...
Its 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 ones 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.

But if some guy says anything complimentary he might end up expelled for sexual harassment.
Seems to me she would fit right in at Google.
No need for pictures. She shoulda kept her clothes on.
This was accompaniied by calls to “put ‘em on”.

Universities deserve this. They have not established rules or principles, other than that anything a White/Christian does is bad, except for his money, which they gladly take.
They accepted someone who wrote black lives matter 100 times on the application. Non-Whites are given extra points upon their application, for being non-White.
Universities have established a nothing matters climate, and students like this are just taking advantage of it.
The scene: Trinity College Commencement 1982.
The first year Trinity decided that caps & gowns were optional. Although the radical left wing progressives didn't have the complete control ['82] that they do today, this was *my* post-graduate degree. Comeon guys!
A bunch of us prevailed the rigorous curriculum that, in addition, included juggling jobs, young families, commutes, careers, mortgages, degree costs. So this small minority of us stood at the back of the line, jaws dropped.
As the undergrads came forward, a majority of them were wearing bowling shirts. That was their plan. Bowling shirts! A majority of the girls wore a cap & gown, but were naked underneath it. As they paraded across the stage, the late afternoon sun silhouetted their nudity, to the barrage of cat calling and assorted whistles and hollering.
Most us us *oldsters* were mortified. This was supposed to be a ceremony of pomp & circumstance; Trinity being a small ivy; with darn good professors and rigorous study.
Our dedicated,supportive families were in the audience. It was a spectacle spoiled by the spoiled brats. We post grads were ashamed and shocked.
After that day, I never returned to campus; the alum fund never got a dime from me during their fund-raising. Nor will they.
Who is the “parking meter”, way in the back, center?
Except America has become the family that thinks it's normal.

I am totally behind this, but I would go a step further, total nudity for Women.
Two words: Gym Time! Next time recommend either full burka or FKK.
Oh, I dunno, nothing that a few months on SlimFast wouldn't fix.
And heres what happens when you search for Cornell with match any word
Guaranteed everyone in their undies are libs. That’s what libs do. That or get nekkid for their causes. Loony.
“Why not deliver the thesis while naked?” ................. Yeah, it won’t take too much encouragement, wait, it will happen, sooner than you think.
