Thomas Bruce, vice president for university communications, issued the following statement Sept. 6: "As a member of The Leadership Alliance, Cornell University has sought information about students at historically black colleges in the affected area. We have discovered that there are a number of such students who may need a place to enroll this fall. Cornell is reaching out directly to those students. More information will be forthcoming in the days ahead."
