When do they name drop UVA? As I said, it's been 30+ years since I saw it....

And yet, our kiddo keeps begging us to let him have raw milk. Sadly, our teen has been brainwashed by the Internet and the "raw primal" diet people. Raw milk producers are stupid or evil. Likely both.

I have watched that movie exactly once, more than 30 years ago when I was living alone in a rather isolated apartment in Ithaca, NY. (My housemate was away.) I couldn't sleep that night, and was wary of white panel vans for months. I still consider it the most frightening horror movie I have seen.

Frankly, I'm embarrassed to wear my Cornell Cardinal regalia to any university events at William & Mary until the present leadership team at Cornell has been fired or has resigned: I don’t wish to affiliate myself visually with a university that is behaving in a morally bankrupt fashion.

If they won’t do the honorable thing and resign, then it is up to you as the Board of Trustees to fire them all.

I am one of many alumni who will never give another dime to Cornell as long as President Kotlikoff, the Title IX Coordinator responsible for the handling of the Jane Doe case, the head of the Cornell University Police Department that investigated the Jane Doe case,

It is up to you as trustees to stop this free-fall NOW. It’s time for President Kotlikoff to stop making lame video statements and either fall on his metaphorical sword by resigning or for you to fire him at the earliest possible opportunity.

The Jane Doe lawsuit, the botched investigation by Cornell’s Title IX staff, the mishandled evidence and badly edited statement by the Cornell University Police Department have been making national—and even international—headlines.

With every passing day, Cornell’s “leadership” loses credibility and embarrasses a once-great university. (Frankly, I’m glad I went to Princeton as an undergraduate, which is much higher in the rankings than Cornell.)

I have been busy lately, but I was SO enraged by the video that Cornell University president Michel Kotlikoff sent out on Saturday that I fired off a message to the Cornell Board of Trustees (and cc'd Pres. K because I won't say anything behind his back that I won't say to his face):

He paid a $500 fine in court....but since the student's father was apparently a personal injury lawyer, I'll bet he either has paid or will pay a whole LOT more in a personal injury case. The student had to withdraw from at least one semester at W&M due to a severe concussion and other injuries.

One thing that happened under the last president is that he hit a student with his car and seriously injured her and I think ended up paying like 500 bucks total over it

Provocative talk by @cnewf.bsky.social here at UIUC last night! He argues that humanities intellectuals need to defend the importance of our research especially right on our own campuses, where the discourse of “getting students a higher wage” is laying waste to half the university

Chris Newfield, recent head of the MLA, always gives a great talk about how humanities ideas intersect with the structure of university budgets

A University Faculty's Three Obligations
Critique of Knowledges (yellow)
Institutional: Fiscal Engagement (green)
Knowledge Addressing Public Needs (blue)
These are the 3 things we do. We’re great at the yellow, bad at the green, and could be better at the blue. University rationales often start at the blue & care least about the yellow

Approximately 85% of emergency ground ambulance rides are out-of-network. Roughly half of emergency ground ambulance rides resulted in an out-of-network charge for privately insured patients, with a median surprise bill of $450. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

The Virginia no surprises act specifically mentions "emergency services," though not ground ambulances. But if a ground ambulance doing an emergency patient transfer between two hospitals for potential emergency surgery isn't an "emergency service," I don't know what is.

SuzanneHagedorn.bsky.social @suzannehagedorn.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

There have been also a couple of physicians' charges—usually $40 copays. By far, the most expensive part of his treatment was the hourlong ambulance ride from one hospital to another. (We could not have taken him by car; he was on morphine and had to be monitored for internal bleeding.)

SuzanneHagedorn.bsky.social @suzannehagedorn.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

My kiddo spent a night in Pediatric Intensive Care to monitor for internal bleeding and the next two days in a regular unit at the Children's Hospital. The bill was something like $30,000. My share was a $250 copay. I had a copay plus an MRI bill for the initial ER visit, for at total of $700.

SuzanneHagedorn.bsky.social @suzannehagedorn.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Virginia, where I live, has a no surprises billing law that covers "emergency services." If an ambulance to transfer a child from an emergency department at one hospital to a trauma unit at another is not an "emergency service," I don't know what it.

SuzanneHagedorn.bsky.social @suzannehagedorn.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

The ambulance company received an in-network payment from my insurance company and is balance billing me. They claim to have appealed the payment with insurance, but I have checked and they have filed no appeal.
