Dear Matthew,

Thank you for conveying the University Assembly’s Resolution 6, “Requesting Specific Information on Labor Practices at Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar.” I appreciate your interest in closely examining this topic of great importance to the university administration as well as members of your constituencies.

President Garrett, Acting President Kotlikoff, Provost for Medical Affairs Glimcher, Dean Sheikh, and Director Baki,

It is my duty to convey to you U.A. Resolution 6 "Requesting Specific Information on Labor Practices at Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar."

This resolution was sponsored by our Vice Chair Alexander Thomson and Undergraduate Matthew Indimine on behalf of the Assembly's Campus Welfare Committee and the Cornell Organization for Labor Action (Carunya Achar, Michael Ferrer, Allison Considine, Xavier Eddy, Deepa Saharia.)

Dear Gabe,

Thank you for submitting UA Resolution 4 – the recommendation from the Textbook Price Working Group (TPWG). I appreciate the efforts of the TPWG to find ways to reduce the financial burden of graduate and undergraduate students at Cornell.

I support the TPWG’s recommendation that the Cornell Store adopt a cost-recovery financial model for the sale of academic materials. As noted, the current revenue-generating model will be maintained for non-academic materials sold at the store.

Dear President Rawlings,

It is my pleasure to convey to you U.A. Resolution 4 REVISED "Textbook Price Working Group Recommendation."

This resolution was sponsored by the Chair of our Textbook Price Working Group (TPWG), Undergraduate Gabriel Kaufman. It was passed by the full Assembly at our meeting of April 26, 2016.
