Dear Sarah,
Thank you for sharing Resolution 72: Enhancing Hearing Impairment Service at the Cornell Commencement Ceremony. I understand that you have been in touch with administrators to discuss these recommendations, and that they are willing to work with you to develop a survey. Please be sure that the Accessibility Accommodation Committee works closely on this endeavor with Connie Mabry, Katherine Fahey, and Jennifer Davis.
I appreciate the Student Assembly’s attempt to improve information about the accessibility options for commencement weekend.

Dear Sarah,
Thank you for sharing the Student Assembly’s recommendation that Cornell adopt the Big Red Bear as the university’s official mascot. As I said in my response last year, I am supportive of this recommendation, will share it with President-elect Garrett and the University Counsel’s Office, who can assist with getting this on the agenda for the Board of Trustees to review and vote.

Dear Sarah,
Thank you for sharing Resolution 59: SA Bylaw Changes. While I have no issues with the establishment of these committees, I hope that they plan to operate in conjunction with the campus departments with which they correspond. I approve this resolution.
I encourage the Academic Affairs Committee to connect with the Provost as well as the Dean of the Faculty and Dean of Students. I also would encourage the City and Local Affairs Committee to connect with the Office of Community Relations.

Dear Sarah,
Thank you for sharing Resolution 65, Developing and Funding a Student Run Grocery Store. I am impressed with the commitment of the Student Assembly to help address a need that appears quite real for some subset of the Cornell student body. That said, I am sending the proposal back for reconsideration until all the issues you outlined in the resolution are addressed to the satisfaction of everyone outlined in the resolution.
