Well, actually, not "new". We first put this paper online way back Dec 2022... in any case, we think it's really cool!

Cornell has signed an agreement—but unlike the UVA agreement, instead of pledging to follow the gov't's highly questionable July "guidance" on discrimination, Cornell simply agrees to hand it out to faculty as a "training resource"!

So, essentially, Trump used the power of his office (e.g. by not paying ongoing grants) to force a $30 million payout.
I understand why Cornell did this, but it doesn't feel good.

Yamamoto pitched for ~2 games. In those 17.2 innings, Dodgers beat the Jays 9-2.
The remainder of the series? 32-17 for the Jays.
The Jays *still* could have won a dozen different ways... but Yamamoto beat them.
