In Lawsuit, Employees Contend C.U.

Collected Exorbitant Retirement Plan Fees

sider more affordable alternatives to the current plan

Cornell employees are filing a class action lawsuit against the University, claiming that fees for retirement plans are excessively high, according to a release from law firm Schlichter, Bogard & Denton

The firm, based on St Louis, filed Casey Cunningham v Cornell University, et al on Aug 17, on behalf of over 20,000 employees at Cornell

The suit claims that Cornell has violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act by requiring retirement plan participants to pay millions of dollars in fees for administrative and investment services, according to the release

The complaint also alleges that the University failed to con-

“We contend that Cornell University has breached its fiduciary duties to protect the retirement assets of its employees and retirees,” said Jerry Schlichter, one of the firm’s founders and managing partners, in the release “The law is intended to protect the retirement assets of these university employees just as it is for employees of for-profit companies ”

Schlichter, Bogard & Denton has filed 20 similar complaints and secured nine settlements on behalf of employees in the past 10 years, according to the release

The University will “vigorously defend” itself against the litigation, according to spokesperson John Carberry

Gannett to Become ‘Cornell Health’

Facility will undergo renovations, expand to new Campus Road building

By KIMBERLY LEE Sun Staff Wr ter

Gannett health services will only be available in the facility’s new addition on Campus Road while the original building is renovated and renamed over the next year, the University announced in June

Nianne VanFleet, Gannett’s associate director of operations, said the health facility will double in size after upcoming renovations She described this coming year as a “transition period,” when many offices and services will be moved to temporary locations in the new addition while the original building is renovated to reflect a need for more space

“The expansion will really ‘right size’ our facility, since we had been operating in a space that was much too small and no longer met healthcare standards,” VanFleet said

Once complete, the new building will have up-to-date and accessible medical facilities, an increased numbers of exam rooms, counseling offices, an expanded pharmacy and larger waiting area, according to VanFleet

Sharon Dittman, Gannett’s associate

director for community relations, described the expansion of Cornell’s health center as a project that has been a “University priority” since 2005

“The original facility was severely undersized to serve Cornell’s growing student population and evolving campus needs,” she said

Dittman explained that plans for the new facility in 2009 had to be tabled due to budgetary concerns, but discussions resurfaced

“The original facility was severely undersized to serve Cornell’s growing student population.”

four years later when a local firm was hired to design a facility that would incorporate the construction of a significant addition into the existing building

“This transformation of Cornell’s health services is a $55 million project less than half the cost of the original design,” Dittman said She explained that the expansion and renovation of the health facility is being funded

The Gan-next step | Gannett will temporarily move some of its facilties to a new Campus Road building while its old structure undergoes renovations

both by “ generous donors” and contributions from all the University’s schools, colleges and administrative units

Kent Bullis, Gannett’s interim executive director, said one of the project’s goals is the consistent provision of more integrated medical and mental health services

“Our collaborative care teams made up of medical providers, counselors, psychologists, nutritionists and others are now colocated in ‘integrated care suites’ where providers from different backgrounds and specialties work together to support our patients’ and clients’ physical and mental health,” Bullis said Bullis noted that another aim of the revamped Gannett will be to improve visitor experience and create a peaceful atmosphere in the facility

“Many of our visitors come to us when they are feeling their worst, and we believe that providing a welcoming, peaceful physical space is an important part of delivering highquality care and helping our patients and clients feel their best,” he said

The University also announced that in Spring 2017, Gannett will officially change

Phi Mu Fraternity Purchases North Campus House

rejected a request from the Phi Mu fraternity to purchase property at 520 Wyckoff Road due to opposition from the community, The Sun previously reported Community members composed a petition to exclude the

Ma u re r s a i d t h a t h a v i n g a chapter house at Cornell will “ put Phi Mu on the same playing field as the other sororities ”

“[Having a house] will further strengthen the strong bond of sist e r h o o d t h a t t h e s i s t e r s h a ve already established,” she said Christina Nastos ’19, a Phi Mu member, agreed, saying that it is important for a sorority to offer new members the same benefits as other sororities on campus

Ayanna Allen ’17, president of the Phi Xi chapter, called the new house a “second home” for the

Phi Mu sisters on campus

“Our chapter is very close, and I think having the house will add to the love and strength of our sisterhood,” Allen said “The biggest challenge will be figuring out all of the logistics, but we have time to make plans and we are collaborating with the headquarters to work through all of the details ”

Julianna Meely ’18, a Phi Mu member, called the new house “ gorgeous, bright and cheer y ” She expressed excitement about

this new opportunity but said she does not think it is necessary for a sorority to have a house “ While it seems that most p o t e n t i a l n e w m e m b e r s a re enchanted by the opportunity to live in a house, they will quickly discover, as did I, that a house doesn't make a sorority, the bonds of sisterhood make a sorority,” Meely said

The restaurant ’ s grand opening has been delayed several months due to the slow pace of construction However, Zer vos and co-owner Rich Aver y who took over the restaurant in 2007 remain optimistic about the restaurant ’ s successful reintroduction

“ We are just looking for ward to the re-opening and ser ving our friends and customers, ” Zer vos said “ The Ithaca community has been ver y good to us [since we have closed], and we are excited to open our doors ”

The restaurant ’ s family ambiance is apparent in the return of about one third of its original staff However, the absence of Amanda Bush, a former bartender who died in the crash that closed the restaurant, will not go unnoticed The owners honored Bush’s memor y by dedicating building’s new additions to her “ You never really move past it; we lost a friend in the tragedy and we don’t want to move past it,” Zer vos said “ That’s why we dedicated the build-out to her ”

University Librarian,‘ Leader in Library Science, ’ to Retire

By JENNA RUDOLFSKY Sun Staff Writer

“I’m most looking forward to doing a lot of reading,” said University Librarian Anne Kenney,

who announced her plan to step down in April and retire by October 2017 “There are just great books that have been sitting on my bedside table for a long time ”

Kenney said she has served as the Carol A Kroch University Librarian since 2008, managing the institution’s $55 million budget, the 18 libraries on campus a combination of physical and vir-

tual entities and a staff of nearly 500 people Kathryn Boor, Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, predicted that Kenney will be remembered as “the librarian responsible for unifying all libraries across the entire University ”

“She has boldly created collections for the University that are peerless,” Boor said Kenney explained that she first came to Cornell 30 years ago as a conser vation liaison librarian, before becoming engrossed in digital imaging for archives

“I spent a decade plus doing research in digital imaging for libraries and archives,” she said “ We established standards that were adopted around the world for capturing text-based materials

also for the role she played as university librarian in transitioning the system to an age of new media

Prof Bruce Lewenstein, communications and science and technology studies, called Kenney a “relentlessly positive person ”

“I can ’ t think of a time that I haven’t seen Anne come into a meeting or situation saying, ‘How do we move this for ward,’”

Lewenstein said

Lewenstein recounted working with Kenney for many years, whether it be through his own research and archiving projects or as a member and acting chair of the University Faculty Library Board

We wrote a couple of books on it, and we developed a series of workshops that attracted an international audience ”

These workshops transformed both Kenney and Cornell into internationally renowned figures in library science, according to Boor

“Anne is recognized around the globe as a bold leader in library science, ” Boor said “She is frequently consulted by others regarding issues that shape the way academicians are able to access information ”

Kenney’s time at Cornell will be remembered not only for her research accomplishments, but

“She’s leaving a very healthy library system, one that has dealt well with major financial constraints that affected most of her time as university librarian,” Lewenstein said “She became librarian just as the financial crisis hit us She had to manage in a really challenging time ”

As she approaches retirement, Kenney said she plans to travel in addition to enjoying her time in Ithaca

“I also want to try my hand at writing murder mysteries,” Kenney said “It’s always been at the back of my mind to do that I published a lot in scholarly work, but never anything that was popular reading ”

In Sexual Assault Case

By STEPHANIE YAN Sun Assistant News Editor

The student, identified as “John Doe,” submitted a petition to the Tompkins County Supreme Court on May 10 requesting that Cornell pause disciplinar y proceedings while his suit is ongoing and pay him at least $500,000 in compensation for his suspension

Doe claims that Cornell did not provide him with a hearing, that the investigation against him was biased and delayed and called his suspension from the school “arbitrar y and capricious ”

His petition argues that the University’s actions, as well as its compliance with sexual assault investigation

Policy 6 4 which was criticized in a December 2015 Judicial Codes Counselor report and is currently undergoing revision violated Section 6444(5) of New York State Education Law, which describes New York’s sexual assault policies

Doe’s suit is nearly identical to that of Wolfgang Ballinger ’17, who was accused of assaulting a student in his room at the Psi Upsilon fraternity this winter and also filed a petition in May claiming that Cornell’s investigation of the incident was “flawed ”

Doe is a member of Cornell’s Theta Delta Chi fraternity and intended to graduate in Januar y 2017 prior to his suspension, the documents said

Alleged Assault

In Doe’s formal written complaint, he alleged that a female student called “Jane Doe” in the documents visited his fraternity house the night of Sep 17, 2015 and was sexually aggressive toward him She pinned him to

his bed after they began kissing and punched him in the testicles when he rolled her off him, the documents said

Jane Doe’s account of the incident alleged that John Doe was the aggressor, pulling her hair and choking her, according to the documents

The petition added that neither party was intoxicated and no sexual intercourse occurred

University investigators issued no contact orders to both parties and temporarily suspended John Doe, the petition said Doe successfully appealed to have his suspension lifted on Oct 15

Doe said that throughout the process, investigators behaved in ways “that presupposed his guilt” including suspending him without hearing his version of events and speaking to him “in an accusator y and intimidating manner ” according to the documents

Suspended Again

Following the recommendations of Cornell’s sexual

assault case investigator, the University suspended Doe again in the middle of the spring semester, but reversed the decision April 26, the documents said

His suspension will be stayed until the Policy 6 4 process is completed, though Doe has appealed to have it completely annulled, according to the petition

The petition repeatedly stressed Doe’s “stellar” academic reputation, saying he maintained a 3 8 GPA while enrolled in a “grueling schedule” as a math and physics double major

The document also claimed that the repeated suspensions caused him “ grave emotional distress and mental anguish” and damaged his academic career

If the court approves his petition, investigations will halt until Doe receives a hearing to resolve all allegations against him, the documents said

“Regardless, male or female, it seems like the majority of these things happen when alcohol is used. It’s the main perpetrator.

In 1997, the historians William Strauss and Neil Howe published The Four th Tur ning, a book that describes and expands upon the generational theor y of histor y for which the two authors are regarded. Strauss and Howe contend that all of a society’s histor y is divided into saecula, or roughly 88-year periods that span the length of a long human life Within each saeculum lie four ordered eras, or “turnings,” that include a “high,” “awakening,” “ unrav-

born during one turning is considered a generation, and Strauss and Howe identify a similar cycle of generations, or archetypes Those born during a high turning comprise the idealist “prophet” archetype Prophets are indulged as children, and grow up to lead the self-oriented awakening following the high turning The reactive “nomad” archetype is born during an awakening, and is particularly under-protected during childhood They might grow up feeling

As the great civic workers of all the archetypes, heroes possess a unique perspective of significant, lasting events, and thus have the ability to create some of the most inspiring artistic reflections Strauss and Howe’s theor y is cer tainly not flawless Its ver y nature relies upon the acceptance of gross generalizations about t i m e p e r i o d s a n d t h e i n d i v i d u a l s t h a t inhabited them Moreover, its established boundaries of generations and turnings are sometimes thought to be quite arbitrar y Yet, to indulge the notion of generational archetypes and turnings can, as Strauss and Howe stress, allow for clear insight into a common human nature Fur thermore, it g i v e s m e a n i n g t o w h y w e re f l e c t a n d express

New Managers In New Places

When Abel Hernandez kicked the ball back towards his orangeclad teammates, Hull City’s Uruguayan striker made the first pass of the 2016-17 Premier League season Perhaps the most prominent feature of this new season is the many excellent managers who have taken their talents to the Premiership over the summer Let’s run the rule over each of the new arrivals and evaluate who will be deemed successful once the season ’ s last ball is kicked in May

Two weeks into the season, it seems like Manchester United’s Jose Mourinho is best positioned for instant success Mourinho brings a pedigree of success, both in England with Chelsea FC and on the conti-

nent with Real Madrid, Porto and Inter Milan He bought wisely over the summer, including superstars Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba So far, his team has won each of their games by two goals Hot on his heels is Chelsea’s Antonio Conte, the Italian formerly in charge of the Italian national team With the Azzurri, he pulled off an upset of Spain with one of the worst Italian line-ups in years At Chelsea, he is infusing youth into an aging team, which experienced a terrible, tenthplace season last time out Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola is widely considered the best coach in the world However, his new club might struggle to perform as well as Mourinho’s United or Conte’s Chelsea Yes, Guardiola is an amazing coach, but his unique style of play, where the goalkeepers and defenders are encouraged to play short passes instead of long clearances upfield, is ver y difficult to implement in England, where clearing the ball has been the norm for years Guardiola already seems likely to jettison one of the world’s best goalies, Joe Hart, just because Hart does not fit this system The Hart situation exemplifies the possible growing pains for Guardiola at City Southampton’s Claude Puel is another new manager likely to succeed The Frenchman relocated to the south coast after a productive spell at the French club, Nice Southampton is a demanding job, with the board pushing for inclusion of young players and progress in the league While the Frenchman’s record at Nice suggests he has a shot at success, a tie and a loss so far suggests there may be an adjustment period Claude Puel filled the

position left open by Ronald Koeman, who departed for Everton There, he will face many challenges The Everton squad is talented but has been underperforming as a team; I give Koeman a fifty-fifty chance for a successful season

Just three managers left now, as we get to the smaller clubs and the managers who are more likely to fail Sunderland’s David Moyes, formerly of Everton, Manchester United and Real Sociedad, has a reputation as a steady hand That’s exactly what Sunderland needs after several years of flirting with relegation, and Moyes’ sole goal is to avoid another relegation battle Watford had a decent season last year, but decided to fire Quique Sanchez Flores, and

The Beautiful Game

the new man in charge is Walter Mazzarri The Italian boss faces adversity from the ridiculously high expectations of the owners, the Pozzo family Also, Premier League managers typically struggle to manage largely foreign squads that lack experience in England, like Watford’s

The least likely to succeed is Hull’s Mike Phelan, who has taken over in an extremely difficult situation Hull City, despite the club’s strengths like striker Hernandez, are tipped for relegation Fans are discontent with the club’s ownership, who have put into place an unpopular membership scheme and tried to rename the club “Hull City Tigers ” The team also has only 13 fit senior players; five players are out injured for long periods and they have not signed a single player this summer, so their bench is mostly their youth team The manager, Steve Bruce, left a month ago because of poor relations with the unpopular owners, and assistant manager Phelan was promoted Phelan has impressed by pulling off two wins in two games, but this is a flash in the pan; Hull should return to relegation form soon, as all this adversity will take its toll on the Tigers

Each fall, soccer leagues around the world begin their seasons amid a wave of storylines, new signings, and fan expectations Here in The Beautiful Game, I focus on the English Premier League, but I also work in coverage of other major leagues in Europe Come back ever y other Tuesday for another column of The Beautiful Game !

Walking into the Olympic stadium with the rest of Team USA was like nothing the then 23year-old had ever experienced

New Coach Hopes to Repeat Success

By JACK KANTOR Sun Staff Writer

A new chapter of Cornell men ’ s soccer is beginning as head coach John Smith takes the helm of the program Smith is coming off a National Championship season at Stanford, where he was associate head coach

The 2015 season was Smith’s fourth with Stanford, and second as associate head coach Smith helped lead the Cardinal to its first NCAA title in the program ’ s histor y after years of struggling “ We just went ahead in tr ying to change the culture, to instill a culture that was conducive to success, ” Smith said Smith perennially brought in strong recruiting classes and managed to put up a record of 50-2011 during his time with the program

tion to three consecutive Heartland Conference Championships

Incarnate Word was Smith’s first and only experience as a head coach before coming to Cornell

“That was a great opportunity, ” Smith said “You feel the different pressure because it is certainly different when you ’ re a head coach The buck stops with you, good and bad ” Smith’s coaching career began at CSU Bakersfield as an assistant coach During his time there, he helped bring the program a California Collegiate Athletic Association title

The city of Bakersfield is commonly given a bad label, according to Smith However, he feels that the challenge of building a program there helped him as a coach and more importantly as a recruiter

“Last year, winning the National Championship and to be involved in that type of turnaround in the last four years was special,” Smith said Prior to his tenure at Stanford, Smith was also a decorated coach in Division II, where he was the head coach of Incarnate Word and won 62 games in six seasons Smith won three consecutive Coach of the Year awards in addi-

“You have go into San Diego or Los Angeles and ask them to go to Bakersfield and we did,” he continued “I learned how to sell and really build up a program ” Smith’s recruitment experience at Bakersfield transferred over to Stanford, where he was in charge of recruiting the championship lineup

At age 16, Smith began his

soccer career as a member of the Wigan Athletic Football Club’s first team Afterwards, he was with Oldham Athletic Football Club for one year where the team advanced to the semifinals of the league cup

“I left school when I was fifteen and a half to join Wigan Athletic,” Smith said “The great thing about that is that you ’ re living and breathing the sport ”

By 1993, Smith decided to move to the United States to play soccer at Rollins College During his collegiate career, the Englishman was a two-time AllAmerican and broke the program ’ s record for points with 142

With great success at the college level, Smith was drafted by the Columbus Crew with the 13th overall pick in the 1997 Major League Soccer draft Smith never reached the top league of the MLS, and played a couple years in the A-league representing three different teams From 1997 to 1998, Smith led the Nashville Metros in points

Now, Smith will start a new chapter in Ithaca leading the Red in this upcoming soccer season With a men ’ s soccer team which did not see much success last season, Smith finds himself in a similar situation to when he came to Stanford

Step by Step: Anderson ’71 Stars on National Stage

By ADAM BRONFIN Sun Sports Editor

On the hottest day of the year, in the center of the track and field universe, Jon Anderson ’71 had just about lost hope

He was approaching the final lap of the US Olympic trials for the 10,000 meter Held in Eugene, Oregon, Anderson’s hometown, the time trials would determine who would make up the United States’ Olympic delegation in Munich

Anderson, in fourth, saw his chances at being an Olympian slipping away The topthree finishers would qualify outright to the 1972 games, while fourth earned a place as the alternate runner

“I’m in fourth and I’m thinking ‘This is worthless This is the worst spot to be in,’” Anderson said

He knew, as a reserve, it would be incredibly unlikely that he'd get to represent his country at the games Fourth place would mean sitting on the couch, hoping that one of the qualifiers would get a stress fracture Fourth place would mean being so close to earning the vaunted status of Olympian, but not actually attaining the honor

“I just started running as hard as I could,” he said

And so, revered as if he wore Oregon green, Anderson was cheered on by the thousands of spectators in the stadium As he made his way around the track, the noise followed him, almost pushing him forward towards the finish line and towards Munich

“All of a sudden, with about 200 meters to go, I can remember feeling that the noise got even louder,” Anderson said “It was like I got swept in ” Anderson made up eight seconds on the final lap sprinting to pass an

sealing his spot to the upcoming Munich Olympics

“In hindsight, I could not have done that anywhere else,” Anderson said, of winning in front of the hometown crowd

Growing Up in the Track Capital

Before Michael flew and LeBron amazed, before Tiger roared and Serena dominated, there was Jon Anderson and a pair of hastily assembled Nike shoes

Since Anderson laced up those classic white sneakers with the now-ubiquitous swoosh, Nike has sold hundreds of millions of shoes and has become a cultural and style icon Born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, the unofficial capital of track and field and the birthplace of Nike, Anderson an Olympian in 1972 and the winner of the 1973 Boston Marathon was the first athlete ever to win a sporting event in a pair of Nikes

Anderson grew up in a skiing family With the help of his dad the former mayor of Eugene and a few other parents, Anderson and his brother started a competitive ski team in high school Anderson got his start in track and field while training for the ski season during the offseason

“The spring of my junior year I started dry land training which included jogging,” Anderson said “And jogging became running and I tried out for cross country and that was it ”

The Andersons were family friends with Bill Bowerman, one of the co-founders of Nike Anderson received shoes from Bowerman over the years, but, more importantly, he received advice Bowerman was, after all, the longtime coach of the Oregon track and field team and is largely considered responsible for shifting the

cross country skiing season, I was a senior in high school,” Anderson recalled “My dad said you got to go up and talk to Bill if you ’ re going to go out for track ”

Anderson made the trip out to Bowerman’s house and, sitting at the dining room table, Bowerman offered him a green sheet of paper, a training program that would guide Anderson through his running career

“His basic idea was that this may sound obvious now, but it wasn ’ t back then when you train, you train hard one day and then rest your body the next so that it can recover to a higher level of fitness, but the overall straight line is upwards,” Anderson said Bowerman also taught him to establish reachable targets and work tirelessly towards them Talking about his life, Anderson returns to this concept of “the reachable carrot ” often It’s always been about setting attainable goals and coming up with plans to achieve these objectives

From his days training as a skier in high school to running track in college to competing at the highest international level, he has consistently motivated himself incrementally forward, taking it “ one step after another ”

‘What Else Am I Going to Do?

I’m Going to Run.’

Anderson enrolled in Cornell in the fall of 1968 and immediately joined the track and field team According to Anderson, the squad had fallen on “ some hard times” in the years prior to his joining the program He credits long-time coach of the program Jack Warner for reinvigorating the team and bringing it back to prominence Warner began his 25-year career with the Red around the same time that Anderson entered Cornell as a freshman

“Jack Warner knew how to build a team, ” Anderson said “Even though a lot of people think that track is individual, there is a team aspect to it We had a team attitude and in my four years, you could see it develop ”

After struggling to adjust to all the challenges that come with being a freshman in college, Anderson really got involved with the team sophomore year, spending time with the guys both in and out of practice

After a successful junior season that included a third place finish in the NCAA in the six-mile, Anderson went to a training camp held by the US Olympic committee back home in Eugene Spending time with other runners, many of whom were several years out of college, Anderson realized that running could be something to pursue after graduation

Late in his senior year, Anderson’s season was truncated when he suffered a broken foot at the Ivy championships, ending his collegiate running career After graduating, Anderson drew a low number in the

Vietnam War draft and moved to California

“I became a conscientious objector working in a kitchen in San Francisco for two years, ” Anderson said “What else am I going to do? I’m going to run ”

Life was simple in San Francisco Each morning, Anderson would wake up at 5:30 a m and run five miles to work at a kitchen in a small cafe in a hospital After a day of work, he'd run home albeit this time at a slower pace, taking a more direct route A quick nap later, Anderson would go out again and train It was “ eat, sleep, run, work ”

Working in the kitchen allowed Anderson to concentrate on his running and to set goals for himself, always making sure the goals were within reach

He credits the simplicity of the San Francisco days for the success he would find later in his career

“There was some kind of toughness that developed out of that and some focus as well,” Anderson said “I didn’t have any distractions ”

On the World’s Biggest Stage

After months of working in the kitchen, Anderson was granted some leave time from his job in order to compete in the Olympic Trials back in Eugene He had originally planned to only compete in the marathon, but a conversation with a fellow runner named Bill Clarke helped change Anderson’s mind

“The gist of the conversation from Bill and my thoughts was kind of ‘why not run the 10K?’” Anderson recalled

The initial trials and the finals for the 10,000 meter were held early in the 10-day meet, and then Anderson planned on having about a week to rest for the marathon, the event he was most focused on

Despite his status as a “hometown boy,” Anderson admits that many of the local track fans were surprised he even made the finals for the 10,000 meter yet there he was, on a sweltering 95-degree day in Eugene, ready to race some of the most talented runners in the nation

After the gun, the heat caused the pack to string out pretty quickly Anderson had laid back, allowing some of the other runners to burn out After keeping a slow pace for much of the race, he worked his way back into the fray, moving into fourth place with about a lap to go

His remarkable comeback, passing Jack Bacheler on the final sprint, earned him a spot on the 1972 Olympic team With his ticket to Munich booked, Anderson opted not to run the marathon in the trials While he didn’t find the same magic at
