Press Record & Corrections

  • Ithaca Voice, “Gallery: What’s under construction at Cornell University in spring 2025?” (May 19, 2025)
    The article was previously had the statement, “readers informed me the lawsuit was dismissed by the judge a couple of weeks ago.” (https://ithacavoice.org/2025/05/gallery-whats-under-construction-at-cornell-university-in-spring-2025/) That was inaccurate. As of July 30, 2026, the lawsuit remained active in the appellate court. The article also described controversy only in relation to “the enclosed field,” even though the Meinig Fieldhouse project includes both an indoor synthetic turf field and an outdoor synthetic turf field. The petitioners — ZWI — were not contacted for clarification before publication or before the update was added. Despite five written correction requests, no correction was issued and no response was received.
    Update: The correction was finally made on July 30, 2026.
  • Ithaca Voice, “Gallery: See what’s under construction at Cornell this summer” (July 7, 2026)
    The article stating that the lawsuit “was dismissed by the courts in May 2025.” (https://ithacavoice.org/2026/07/gallery-see-whats-under-construction-at-cornell-this-summer-2/) That is materially incomplete. A trial-level court dismissed the Article 78 petition in May 2025, but Zero Waste Ithaca appealed that decision. The article should not leave readers with the impression that the litigation ended in May 2025.
    Update: The correction was finally made on July 30, 2026.
