GPSA R9 (2014-2015): Deferred by the President
Dear Richard:
I appreciate the GPSA’s resolution in support of Assistant Dean Joseph Scaffido. Cornell University strives to promote the peaceful, honest, and responsible exchange of ideas while rejecting, in the strongest terms, any incitement to violence. The heavily edited video released by Project Veritas was a flagrant and malicious attempt to misrepresent these Cornell values.

Dear Richard:
EA R4 (2014-2015): Implemented
Dear Greg,
Thank you for all that you and your colleagues do in support of the hard working staff at Cornell. I have considered E.A Resolution #4, which proposes a change to the election schedule. Currently Section 3.5.2 Filling Regular Vacancies by Elections and states that elections must be completed and results tabulated no later than the last day of March. Your rationale for to change the election schedule in order to increase the time available to promote EA elections is practical and I support this effort.

I am pleased to accept EA Resolution #3, In Gratitude of our Caring Community.

Dear Greg,
Thank you for submitting EA Resolution 6, One Year Terms for Newly Elected Members, in 2015-2016. I appreciate the EA’s efforts to consider its structure in order to better serve the needs of Cornell staff in the future.

President Skorton –
Resolution 6 was passed to align our elections and terms with our new proposed assembly structure that we are currently working to finalize and should have for approval this fall. This resolution was the work of our Elections Taskforce and shortens the normal two-year term of those elected in 2015 to one year.
Best,
Greg
