Dear Sarah,

Thank you for sharing Resolutions 15 and 18, informing me of special project funding provided by the Student Assembly. It appears that the Student Assembly considered each of these projects carefully, and that the EzRoots performance was well worth the additional expenses. Events such as that are very important to the student body – thank you for supporting it. I hope that the Ivy Leadership Summit is equally successful.

Regards,

David

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for sharing Resolution 14, Repealing Odd/Even in the 4th Ward, with me. Parking is a constant struggle both on and off campus, and I am pleased to see Cornell students work to find a solution while collaborating with city officials. I appreciate hearing this recommendation and look forward to seeing it unfold.

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for informing me of the appeals filed by the Men’s Club Hockey, Women’s Alpine Ski, and Men’s Alpine Ski Teams. I appreciate the serious consideration taken in assigning groups to tier funding levels.

Regards,

David

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for sharing Resolution 9, Regarding the Proposed Final Exam Schedule: Fall 2014, with me. I appreciate the discussion summary you provided, as well as the Student Assembly’s consideration for the well-being of Cornell students. I understand that University Registrar Cassie Dembosky has made a final decision regarding the exam schedule after consulting with many groups, and that information is posted on the Registrar website. I trust that the SA will continue to work with the University Registrar’s office on these important matters.

Regards,

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for forwarding Resolution 5, Updating United Student Body. I appreciate the updated language and approve this resolution.

I think that the changes made to the document are wise ones and will indeed help avoid confusion. Thank you for sharing them with me, and for your thorough examination of the Student Assembly documents.

Regards,

David
