Lowery 2009[edit]

For the benefit of future editors: there is a small issue with one of the sources, namely the Lowery article in Ezra Magazine. It's an article from the Summer 2009 issue, as confirmed by the table of contents. However, the article itself seems to claim it's from Spring 2009, apparently due to a technical glitch of some sort. —Bill Price^{(notyourbroom)} 16:27, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Current uses[edit]

"A long-running joke among students concerns the placement of a power outlet on the ceiling of the staircase leading down to the Ivy Room."

This has no citation and seems like "original research" if you can call it that. Don't think it's relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adkins (talk • contribs) 19:34, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cross burning[edit]

An edit today by IP user 2605:E000:62D0:A100:699B:D511:91B8:B64C states:

"(It was later revealed that militant black students burned the cross themselves in order to gain sympathy from the campus.)"

It gives the reference: http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2009/04/campus-takeover-symbolized-era-change

I don't see it in the article, though. Am I missing something? I'm not familiar enough with the subjec to revert just yet. - Kzirkel (talk) 17:23, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On further research, City Journal article claims that police suspected the AAS of burning the cross, so I'll put that. I'm not sure how solid or how fringe the speculation is, though. - Kzirkel (talk) 23:52, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
