While Ithaca is hours away from the Big Apple, the taint of Wall Street hits too close to campus. At least, that's according to Cornell student Tony Manfried, who composed an opinion piece in the school paper demanding that Goldman Sachs never recruit there again in Vampire Squid-lite fashion:

It vets and interrogates, tests and examines, and eventually it leaves campus with a wish list of eager undergrads. A few months later, those same undergrads are paying for a few rounds of drinks at a celebratory Long Island iced tea night. And come summer, these undergrads have transformed into full-fledged Goldmanites — squeezing every drip of profit out of the rag that is America with conscious abandon — under the tragically correct assumption that the rest of us are, above all else, jealous of them.
This must end. A corporation with Goldman’s track record of bubble-building and profiteering has no place on this campus.
Soon-to-be grads who are cynical and money hungry enough to want to work for the bank can seek it out themselves, but this campus should not be the setting of such a union.

In other Goldman Sachs news, the firm announced its latest batch of partners, who should know that making partner is not forever. [Via Daily Intel]
