Stanford and Cornell Pull the Drapes Off Proposed NYC Campuses - Buildings & Grounds. Stanford U. says that if it is selected to build a new technology campus on New York City’s Roosevelt Island, it will start a $1.5-billion, 10-year campaign to pay for it.
(Ennead Architects rendering) The one-upping continues. Days after Cornell University unveiled a rendering of the sleek, solar-powered campus it is competing to build on a 10-acre site on New York City’s Roosevelt Island, Stanford University made public a rendering of its own proposed “iconic, state-of-the-art, environmentally sustainable” campus. Stanford and Cornell are among the contenders bidding for the city’s blessing to build a new applied sciences campus and they both want the same 10-acre site. Stanford submitted its proposal to the city on Wednesday, promising a $2.5-billion, 30-year plan for “StanfordNYC” complete with academic buildings, student housing, and a business incubator, all of which would achieve LEED platinum status for energy efficiency.

Technion Sues Google to Remove Former Student's Blog - Wired Campus. Jerusalem—The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, in Haifa, has filed suit against Google demanding that it remove a blog by a former student that the institute says slanders the Technion’s program for American medical students.
The blogger posted critical articles and personal denunciations about the Technion American Medical Students program, known as TeAMS, on www.technionteams.blogspot.com, where he warns prospective students not to enter the program, leveling serious allegations of corruption against the university and its staff. The blog alleges that only 20 percent of students in the past two years have secured residencies in the United States after graduation and says the university is “evasive with information and withholds it from people in order to lure potential applicants from North America.” “We have brought these issues to the school’s attention since 2006 in e-mails, class meetings, letters, etc., and the school appears not to do anything,” the blog states. TEAMS Technion American Medical Students Program Exposed. Technion Teams American Medical School - Haifa, Israel. Summary of Technion Medical School Whistleblower Blog. Eliezer Shalev and Andy Levy run an “American” Medical Program called “ TeAMS ” at the Technion.
Students have a VERY poor record of placing into US residencies after finishing at this medical program. The school does not appear to be meeting requirements for US Federal Financial Aid, and may be falsely reporting data. The school is evasive with information and withholds it from people in order to lure potential applicants from North America, specifically Jewish applicants that were rejected from Sackler or Ben-Gurion. The school appears to be guilty of many other misrepresentations or fraud.
Administrators including both the dean and vice-dean have been caught on the record lying and misrepresenting the program. 1 We have brought these issues to the school’s attention since 2006 in e-mails, class meetings, and letters.

Feeney, 80, has spent much of the last three decades giving away his fortune, with large gifts to universities all over the world and an unusual degree of anonymity. Cornell officials revealed in 2007 that he had given some $600 million to the university over the years, yet nothing on its Ithaca campus — where he graduated from the School of Hotel Management in 1956 — bears Mr. Feeney’s name. The $350 million gift, the largest in the university’s history, was announced on Friday, but the donor was not named. Officials at Atlantic Philanthropies confirmed on Monday evening that it was Mr. Chuck Feeney. DFS eventually expanded to off-airport duty-free stores and large downtown Galleria stores, and became the world's largest travel retailer. In 1996, Miller's and Feeney's interests were acquired by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH), the French luxury goods group, for $1.63 billion.
Miller still retains a 31% share of the company. [citation needed] In March 2011, Feeney was inducted into Irish America magazine's Hall of Fame.[2] In 1997, Time Magazine said: “Feeney's beneficence already ranks among the grandest of any living American.
