Associated Resolutions

Resolution Abstract Status
GPSA R2 (2019-2020): Condemning the Dismissal of Julia Feliz from the Cornell Alliance for Science's Global Leadership Fellowship On October 15th, Julia Feliz was dismissed from the Cornell Alliance for Science Program for “utiliz[ing] the classroom environment to discuss [their] dissatisfaction with the program”. Many details of the case are still unknown; however, given the published information, we feel that the Alliance for Science’s administrative team mishandled the situation. It is extremely concerning that the stated reason for Feliz’s dismissal is their activism. In Discussion
GPSA R3 (2019-2020): Demanding mandatory arbitration and class action bans be removed from CASHNet and other community agreements Cornell’s CASHNet payment system mandates arbitration to resolve disputes and bans class actions, practices condemned by our own Law and ILR faculty. These terms should not appear in any agreement Cornell presents its community. Acknowledged by the President
