Dear Jordan,

Thank you for conveying Resolution 52: Quarter System Review Committee Report. I have spoken with Vice President Ryan Lombardi and understand that soon he will ask the Office of Fraternities, Sororities, and Independent Living to launch a comprehensive review of the Greek system, and he will also ask that they include the report of the Quarter System Review Committee in this process.

I appreciate all the work the committee has done on this.

Yours sincerely,

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

Dear Richard, Thank you for sharing GPSA Resolution 4: Endorsement of the Best Practices for Faculty Advisers Document. I commend the GPSA for taking this initiative and thinking critically about the nature of mentoring relationships between advisers and graduate students. The Best Practices document has already been widely distributed through the Dean of Faculty’s office and is stimulating useful conversations across campus.
