The Cornell Centrist is an on-campus political publication at Cornell University. The publication was founded in September 2005, and published its first issue in April 2006. It is run by undergraduate students at the university.
The Cornell Student Activities Office has the following description for the organization: "The purpose of The Cornell Centrist is to publish multiple newspaper-style journals that contain centrist, center-right, and center-left political positions. The Cornell Centrist was originally conceived with the primary goal of advancing an intellectual, sophisticated political dialogue on campus."
In its first issue, the publication announced its intention to promote ideal policy over ideology. As a result, the publication does not claim to promote centrist policy proposals for the sake of being moderate, but rather strives to put forth the best solutions for the issues currently facing the United States. The end result, as the first issue illustrates, is relatively moderate political solutions -- hence the title, The Centrist.
The Cornell Centrist is funded by Cornell University's Student Activities Office. It has a staff of fifteen undergraduate Cornell students.
