<p>Oh my God, phantasmagoric.
You’re simply factually wrong, which has nothing to do with different views. </p>
<p>Cornell and the Technion formally submitted a joint proposal. They are officially 50/50 partners in the project with Cornell managing the campus and the Technion focused on working with them on curriculum / business development / faculty. They forged that partnership in the summer, not as an add-on to Cornell’s bid. Cornell never submitted an independent bid and they both established their partnership before the original expression of interests.</p>
<p>I even said Cornell’s partnership with Technion BEFORE the bids were submitted was key to victory. I said that no one disagrees with that point. Why do you keep bringing it up? </p>
<p>I’m not sure why you think it’s such a feather in your cap to say Stanford didn’t need a partner beyond CCNY (obviously they needed something more). Of course Cornell lags behind in business incubation due to their isolation.</p>
<p>That’s why they fought so hard for this campus and brought an experienced business incubation partner on as a 50/50 collaborator.</p>
