One of the realities of living in an ongoing democratic experiment is that democracy takes time, which sometimes runs into the need for expediency. Case in point: if you’ve gone to the applications page and not seen the application, it’s because we haven’t finalized it yet. We’re very very close though. It’s going to be there tomorrow. The deadline will either be September 19 or October 3rd for Hill Applicants (that’s what we call Cornell folk, as opposed to applicants who are not at Cornell yet). That’s not a lot of time, but the early deadline ensures that Cornell folks don’t sign leases before we offer them places in the House. Hopefully we’ll do better next year in terms of having the applications ready earlier, which makes me wonder whether there’s such a thing as fast democracy.
