Resolution	Abstract	Status
GPSA R6 (2019-2020): Support of the Divestment from Fossil Fuels	Given the global climate emergency and our desire for Cornell to remain a leader in promoting a sustainable future, we request that Cornell divest from all investments in coal, oil, and natural gas in an orderly fashion.	Acknowledged by the President
GPSA R7 (2019-2020): Condemnation of the dangerously late closure of Ithaca campus on 7 February 2020	On 6 and 7 February an anticipated winter storm hit Ithaca. Despite dangerous conditions before the start of classes and the suspension of all bus service soon after classes began, classes on Ithaca campus were held until 10:02 AM and campus remained open until 12:02 PM, at which time students, instructors and staff who had or were already required to travel to campus were advised to not travel. This late closure needlessly endangered the community and was especially callous toward those with mobility barriers.	Rejected by the Assembly
