Ruling that it could find no rational basis in the record, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York in Albany today unanimously upheld Tompkins County Supreme Court Justice Robert C. Mulvey's June 9, 2004, decision ordering the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission to grant the approval sought by Cornell University for a replacement parking lot proposed as part of its West Campus Residential Initiative. This ruling is the latest of three successive judicial rulings in Cornell's favor. "The West Campus Residential Initiative is an exciting part of Cornell's academic program for the future.
