Dear President Pollack,

It is my pleasure to convey Resolution 3: Demanding mandatory arbitration and class action bans be removed from CASHNet and other community agreements.

The abstract states, "Cornell’s CASHNet payment system mandates arbitration to resolve disputes and [also] bans class actions,[which are] practices condemned by our own Law and ILR faculty. These terms should not appear in any agreement Cornell presents its community."

Dear President Pollack,

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know should you have any questions  or concerns.

All of my best,

Dear Adam,

Thank you for sending EA Resolution 2: Consolidation of Committees to Vice President Opperman and me. I commend the EA for the careful and thoughtful way in which the members arrived at the decision to permanently consolidate standing committees. I’m pleased that the one-year trial of the modified committee structure gave you an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of the change. I am glad to learn that this change was effective, and endorse this resolution.

Sincerely,

Martha Pollack

Dear President Pollack,

 

It is my pleasure to convey to you Student Assembly Resolution 9: Establishing a Representative Voting Member for the Dyson School on the SA.

Good Evening President Pollack,

 

I am happy to report to you the passage of Employee Assembly Resolution 2 which permanently reduces and consolidates the standing committees of the Employee Assembly. This resolution follows a trial period established by Employee Assembly Resolution 2 during the 2018-2019 Academic Year. The Employee Assembly has found that the consolidated structure improves participation and allows the committees to focus their efforts in a more productive manner.
