There are hopeful consequences of the process, but they will not bear immediate fruit. The self-study produced a complicated conclusion. On the one hand, there is great satisfaction and excitement surrounding international studies at Cornell. Many wonderful things are enabled by our current organization. On the other hand, compared to many of our peer universities, international studies has been neglected by Cornell’s central administration in ways that constrain what the faculty and staff can do. For the long term, we seek removal of obstacles that stand in the way of development of international studies at Cornell.
