Not that I’m surprised, but these losers wouldn’t give $500k to our local bus system - which operates for free for Cornell students - to avoid service cuts.
Breaking News: Cornell University reached an agreement with the Trump administration that would restore hundreds of millions in funding to the university. It's expected to pay a $30 million fine to the government and to invest $30 million in agriculture and farming programs.
Cornell Reaches Deal with Trump Administration to Restore Research Funds
