Resolution	Abstract	Status
SA R33 (2020-2021): Winter/Summer Term Financial Aid	This resolution recommends that Cornell grant-based aid is expanded to include both summer and winter session enrollment. Currently, grant-based financial aid is only available for fall/spring terms. In the summer/winter terms, students only have aid in the form of work or loans. This resolution would benefit low income students, especially in light of COVID-19, who may have had to drop courses in light of personal hardships, and students who may be behind on credits necessary to graduate on time. We are requesting this adjustment to the financial aid policy be permanently implemented.	Acknowledged by the President
SA R34 (2020-2021): A Manifesto Calling Upon Cornell to Actionably Support the Asian American Community	Calling upon Cornell to actionably support the Asian American community at Cornell by delivering on the recommendations from the Mental Health Review Final Report, reaffirming funding and academic promises to the Asian American Studies Program (AASP) and ethnic studies at Cornell, reviewing the role of Greek Life and fraternities on campus, reviewing Title IX and the Bias Reporting process, and reconsider the disarmament of the CUPD.	Acknowledged by the President
