Embattled Cornell University is set to become the first Ivy League to offer bachelor’s degrees to jailbirds. The Cornell Prison Education Program is launching a three-year Bachelor of Professional Studies program at Cayuga Correctional Facility in August 2027. The medium-security prison for men in Moravia, NY, has housed notorious inmates, including transgender Big Apple serial killer Harvey Marcelin, an 88-year-old who spent 50 years behind bars until his release on parole in 2019.
