Associated Resolutions

Resolution Abstract Status
UA R1 (2025-2026): Resolution Regarding Proposed Student Code of Conduct Reform This resolution addresses proposed changes to the student code of conduct, and communicates the sense of the University Assembly that revisions to the Code should provide greater protections for students in the use of temporary or emergency suspensions, greater independence of the process from central administration, and retain a clear and convincing standard of proof. The resolution is addressed to the President and the Code and Procedures Review Committee (CPRC), whose final recommendations will be submitted during a period of public comment. In Discussion
UA R2 (2025-2026): Campus Codes Committee’s Involvement in the Student Code of Conduct Review and Revision Process This resolution addresses the administration’s failure to recognize the Campus Codes Committee’s oversight role in the process of reviewing and revising the Student Code of Conduct. In Discussion
UA R3 (2025-2026): Institution of Core Values as a Positive Governance Document The purpose of the resolution is to formally institutionalize the Core Values of Cornell, developed collectively by the Faculty, Student, Administration, and Staff as a community Compact. This will then serve to clarify expectations of community interaction at Cornell and enable agency for those wishing to become members of the community. In Discussion
UA R4 (2025-2026): University Assembly Authority to Appoint Members to Governance Committees The University Assembly has the authority and responsibility through its governing charter to appoint members of Assembly bodies to committees convened for the creation, implementation, or review of University policies.
