Thank you for sharing SA Resolution 19: Transfer Option and First Year Spring Admits Newsletter.

Dear Juliana,

Thank you for sharing SA Resolution 20: Campus Records to Promote LGBTQ+ Inclusivity. I appreciate the Student Assembly’s interest in creating a safer and more inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ students by allowing the use of a preferred name other than their legal name and indication of preferred gender identity on campus records. I strongly support the concept of these proposed changes and have directed the relevant offices to do their best to implement these changes as logistically possible.

Thank you for submitting SA Resolution 16, “Addressing Labor Issues in Qatar.” I continue to appreciate the ongoing commitment of many in our campus community to this global issue. It is important that we work toward a common understanding of how Cornell can effect meaningful change through its presence in Qatar.

Dear Matthew,

Thank you for notifying me of UA Resolution 1 – “Bylaws Change Establishing a Student Health Fee Advisory Committee Liaison.”

I commend the assembly’s ongoing work with the administration, colleagues at Gannett Health Services, and Craig McAllister in the Office of Risk Management to address community concerns related to Cornell’s Student Health Plan.

Dear Matthew,

Thank you for submitting UA Resolution 2 – “Charter Change Aligning the University Assembly’s Role in a Judicial Administrator Search Process with Practice.”

I appreciate your efforts to resolve the discrepancy between the UA charter and the Campus Code regarding how many UA members are to be appointed to a Judicial Administrator search committee. I support your resolution – as submitted – to update the UA's charter to better reflect the current Judicial Administrator search process.
