Cornell Professor David Lichter doesn't seem to be a big fan of marriage:
“Marriage is a smoke screen to deflect public attention of governmental obligations such as providing jobs and fair wages"
Here's something interesting statistics.
only six percent of married couples with children in the United States live below the government’s poverty line, compared with 36 percent of female-headed families, he said. There is also an impact linked to race. Both white and black unwed mothers were about 30 percent less likely to marry than women of other races, the study found. Unwed Hispanic women, however, were 56 percent less likely to marry than those who were single and childless. Unwed white mothers were more likely than their childless counterparts to marry or partner with men of another race, whereas minority single mothers were less likely to form interracial unions.
Since,Cornell doesn't pay a tax on their endowment would Mr.Lichter be for giving some of it to the poor in Ithaca? What's stopping them? Via
