In his statement “On the Career Fair disruption and Code of Conduct violations,” President Kotlikoff willfully warps the language of peaceful protest. In another instance of a laughable attempt at institutional neutrality, Malina’s language toward Prof. Russell Rickford, history is nothing short of demeaning. Leaderboard 2The recent failed attempts at University neutrality are a mere reflection that political neutrality is a reinforcement of more politically powerful (and likely hateful) forces. So, to President Kotlikoff, Malina, and the wider Cornell administration, your “neutrality” speaks louder than you realize.

To my surprise, John Summit’s “Go Back” remix was the most disappointing of the four — by far. Remix culture goes hand in hand with the mass production and proliferation of music today, resulting in older songs and artists gaining popularity.
