Associated Resolutions

Resolution Abstract Status
SA R67 (2025-2026): Transferring Funds to the Multicultural Greek Fraternal Council This resolution transfers $60,000 to the Multicultural Greek Fraternal Council (MGFC), contingent upon the passage of the Resolution 65. Adopted by the Assembly
SA R70 (2025-2026): The Last Straw: Single-Use Plastic Phaseout Phasing out single-use plastics through a five-year transition to reusable or BPI-certified compostable alternatives. Doing so would align campus practices with Cornell’s commitments to sustainability, environmental stewardship, and community well-being. Adopted by the Assembly
SA R73 (2025-2026): Calling for Cornell to Improve its Land Acknowledgement and Recognize the Benefits Obtained through the Morrill Act of 1862 This resolution calls on Cornell University to update its land acknowledgement to recognize the dispossession of Indigenous lands in the western United States through which Cornell raised almost six million dollars in endowment money under the Morrill Act. Furthermore, it calls on university leadership to begin taking further, future-oriented action aimed at compensating for the funds it accrued under the Morrill Act of 1862. Adopted by the Assembly
SA R77 (2025-2026): Improving Communication from Housing & Residential Life to Students About Building-Wide Maintenance Issues Highlighting the lack of status updates regarding building-wide maintenance issues that affect student life in residence halls. The solution would consist of biweekly communication via email as well as a consistent online webpage from Housing & Residential Life that provides residents with an estimated time of completion and status updates.

SA R78 (2025-2026): Recommending an Adequate Provision of Course Information to Students Prior to Course Enrollment This resolution is a recommendation to faculty to provide an adequate outline of what a student can expect to learn and what work they can expect to complete in any given course. In Discussion
SA R79 (2025-2026): Consolidating Student Access to University Resources A recommendation to Cornell IT to adopt a student-facing software that consolidates university resources into a single, searchable source. The software is intended to combat information barriers and increase student accessibility to critical university resources, including mental health services, financial aid, and employment opportunities.
