Dear Cat,
Thank you for conveying to me Student Assembly Resolution #7: Support for Native American and Indigenous Students at Cornell’s Demands, and Student Assembly Resolution #8: Cayuga Land Acknowledgement.
As you know, Cornell sits on the traditional homelands of the Cayuga (Gayogohó:no') Nation, whose lands were expropriated

Thank you for conveying Student Assembly Resolution 9: Demanding Cornell Dissolve All Relations with the Ithaca Police Department. As with Resolutions 7 and 8, President Pollack will not be able to respond within the usual 30-day timeframe due to the various commitments on her time.

HEI HEI DEPEW: I want to thank you all for taking the time today to join us for a panel discussion on wellbeing. The EA recently wrapped up the priorities poll. And the top priority for the Employee Assembly, as determined by staff feedback, is employee health and wellbeing.
Staff are concerned about their physical wellbeing, their safety, and physical health. And staff also are concerned about their mental wellbeing. Staff are feeling under duress from increased workloads, understaffed departments, COVID related anxiety and stress.
