Cornell graduate students have voted 2 to 1 against forming a union. I noted last week that the Cornell administration had made the unusual decision not to oppose a union election (as administrators at Penn, Brown, and Yale have done), and speculated that the administration's refusal to play the role of corporate enforcer might yield some interesting election results. And so it has. Without the galvanizing assistance of a hostile and unyielding administration, the union movement at Cornell fizzled and died by popular mandate.
