UA R10 (2014-2015): Acknowledged by the President

Dear Jim,

Thank you for sharing with me the University Assembly’s Resolution 9, which amends the Assembly Bylaws to assign responsibility to the Codes and Judicial Committee for review of proposed motions related to the creation, maintenance and availability of a Community Bill of Rights. While my formal acceptance of the resolution is not required, I join the Assembly in recognizing the importance of campus-wide access to clear, consistent articulation of community members’ rights and responsibilities that are established by university policies.

SA R56 (2014-2015): Acknowledged by the President

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for sharing Resolution 56: Hands-Only CPR Training for Freshmen. I agree that this is an important life skill, and am pleased that you are in conversation with the Faculty Advisory Committee on Athletics and Physical Education.

I also understand that you are working on pilot training in the fall with the Physical Education department. This will be an important step in understanding the capacity of both the administration and Cornell EMS to manage such an educational mission, which of course only will be administered by certified instructors.
