"But if you consider that a suicide at Cornell, it would kind of be like counting random people jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge towards the suicide rate for Columbia."

i don't know about this analogy. i could see if the Brooklyn Bridge was on Columbia's campus (these gorges and waterfalls are all located on Cornell's campus), but this bridge is well over 100 city blocks from Columbia. Now it would be different if people counted suicides via a gorge off Cornell's campus as a Cornell suicide, but that's not what's being reported.
