*PING*
IIRC, several decades ago there was a math Phd candidate who was repeatedly denied his degree by a professor. The candidate cracked the prof’s head open multiple times with a hammer then went out for an evening of pizza and beer before turning himself into the police.
If you count tuition, food, living costs, etc....it’s near $80,000 per year to attend Cornell. Seven years? That means this guy invested near $560,000 (minimum) in them. For some reason, I don’t think he’s going to just walk away and accept this denial of the degree.
He’ll lawyer up and for each year they waste fighting him....he’ll just add on more income lost. When he wins, you can figure one of two things happen. They will either refund all his money lost (figure $2 million with lawyer fees and income lost figured into it) or grant him the PhD with legal costs covered. If I were them, I’d go and clean up this mess real quick.
Another reason to scuttle Title IX.
Hubris. The very definition of Ivy League schools. Self flagellating self important hubris.

Thanks, grey_whiskers.
Cornell long ago became a Marxist craphole, esp. under Prof. George McT. Kahin and his trained Hanoi support group/program.
Kahin should never have been hired because of his reported ties to Red Chinese intelligence as far back as Indonesia in the 1950’s. His book “The US and Vietnam” is very deficient on Vietnamese history esp. about the Communists takeover of the north in 1945 and the horrors that followed.
Cornell was known for its engineering/science schools but when it comes to Liberal Arts, it became Lumumba Un. West. Now it is destroying science students. Who will they come for next, Pastor Niemoller?
Another reason to avoid biased elite private colleges. Attendees at state universities have at least some legal recourse against political discrimination. And there’s no left bias at all at schools like Liberty University.
Anybody ever read “Unintended Consequences”?
Start futzing with people’s livelihoods and you might want to watch your back!
Some would argue that Cornell is a trade school. The trades include science and engineering
