re #1: "What does the contract school mean? "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statutory_college

"On the diploma, does it say Cornell or SUNY "
Well it definitely says Cornell, whether SUNY also appears anyplace on it I don’t know, I don’t have one.
But one doesn’t need the diploma to tell. The contract colleges give out B.S. degrees, The college of arts & sciences (an endowed college) gives out BAs. (engineering and architecture give out BS’s too, but nobody is wondering whether those grads went to a contract college).

".does it being a state-funded school take anything from its status? "
Not per se. After all Dyson is/was part of CALS and has great repute these days.
What takes away a bit from status is if a particular college there has relatively laxer admissions standards- regardless of SUNY affiliation. Historically it happened to be the case that the contract colleges were a bit easier to be admitted to. And THAT fact did have some impact on their respective reputations, among some people. While the easiest of all, (by the numbers) to be admitted to was the hotel school, which is not SUNY affiliated. And the Hotel school also did suffer a bit of a reputation hit, among some people.
So it isn’t merely the fact of state affiliation. IMO.
