Dear Jordan,

Thank you for conveying Resolution 59: Increasing Sustainability and Comfort in Residential Dormitories. Vice President KyuJung Whang has reviewed this resolution with his colleagues, and the Department of Utilities and Energy Management, with the assistance of the Energy Conservation Controls Team and in partnership with Student and Campus Life Facilities Management, will implement the following improvement measures by August 1, 2016, in residential spaces where it is technologically feasible.

Dear Jordan,

Thank you for conveying Resolution 58. I appreciate the Student Assembly’s willingness to fund SAD lamps for student use, as well as the willingness of Cornell Minds Matter to take on the responsibility of the upkeep.

This is a thoughtful use of the Student Assembly Infrastructure Fund, and I ask that you work closely with the necessary library and resource center staff on your plans to install these lamps. Please also consult with Gannett Health Services staff on what placement is considered safe.

Yours sincerely,

Hunter Rawlings

Dear Juliana:

I am in receipt of SA Resolution #48, “Ban the Box.” SA Resolution #48 recommends removing the box that asks about felony convictions from the job applications and further recommends that the university inquire about criminal histories during a background check after a conditional offer of employment is extended.

Dear Juliana:

Thank you for conveying Resolution 47: International Students and Financial Aid. I appreciate knowing the Student Assembly’s perspective on this university policy matter.

Dear Juliana:

Thank you for sharing Resolution 40: Usage of the Student Assembly Surplus with me. I appreciate the careful thought and consideration that went into dividing the SA surplus. I also appreciate that the SA chose to continue supporting the Cornell student body with these allocations. Please be sure to work directly with the appropriate offices for implementing the various programs and initiatives referenced in the resolution.

Yours sincerely,

Hunter Rawlings
