This merde will continue until there's a crime wave impacting locals, or a high-profile crime that cuts into Cornell applications.

According to my wife (who works there), Cornell is undergoing a wave of burglaries and even a mugging or two.

The local press hasn't picked up on it, however (or chooses not to, so as to keep Ithaca's "image" intact).
