About Cornell University
Cornell University is a private research university that describes itself as providing undergraduate, graduate and professional education. It was chartered in 1865 under a New York State law and holds federal land-grant status in New York State, which its materials tie to public engagement. Its colleges and schools span more than 100 fields of study, including Cornell Law School, and the university runs eCornell, an online professional development arm.
Legal services are handled by an in-house Office of General Counsel, which represents the university on all legal matters and is led by a vice president and general counsel. The office oversees units in Ithaca and New York City, including a Weill Cornell Medicine Office in NYC that advises on health law, research operations, data privacy, technology licensing, employment and compliance. The office also selects and oversees outside counsel retained by the university and offers educational workshops to the campus community.
