Yes, Cornell students did butcher a bear in a dormitory kitchen. Cornell University has banned the butchering of wild animals in its campus community living spaces after two students stirred up controversy last fall when they hunted a black bear and brought the carcass back to their dorm kitchen for processing. An investigation found that the students hunted the bear legally, and the university did not discipline them, according to the report. College students also are notoriously short on cash, and so we shouldn't be surprised at students with the requisite skills and experience to supplement their diets with wild game. Now, Cornell students will be obliged to do likewise.
