Cornell President Michael I. Kotlikoff, who presides over Tompkins County’s largest employer, a world-renowned research center, warned university alumni in May about the impact of a Trump Administration freeze on funding research at Cornell. “The impact of this funding freeze is immediate and devastating,” he wrote alumni. But Cornell has no role in planning the Town Hall, and individual participation is independent of university ties.
