Thank you for submitting UA Resolution 6, “Cornell Commitment to Web Accessibility.” I appreciate the thorough research, collaborative efforts and thoughtful recommendations that went into drafting this resolution and the UA’s dedication to making sure that the university is doing everything it can to foster and maintain an inclusive environment for all members of our community through our websites and the content they convey.
UA R8 (2016-2017): Conveyed to the President
Dear President Pollack,
It is my pleasure to convey to you University Assembly Resolution #8 of the 2016-2017 Session.
This resolution serves as an expression of our gratitude for Hunter Rawlings and Michael Kotlikoff during the transition after the untimely passing of President Garrett last year. Given that both of them undertook the responsibilities of the President, we found it fitting to thank them for their leadership and service to the community in that capacity.
