GPSA R11 (2016-2017): Accepted by the President

Dear Nate,

Thank you for forwarding Resolution 11: Adopting Standing Rules. The smooth functioning of the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly (GPSA) is critical to maintaining GPSA’s important role as one of Cornell’s shared governance bodies.

I appreciate the efforts of the GPSA leadership to develop and approve a set of Standing Rules pertinent to the GPSA. These Rules, now codified, should help promote effective and consistent operation of the Assembly.

Sincerely,

Hunter Rawlings
