Dear Interim President Rawlings,

It is my pleasure to convey to you University Assembly Resolution #3: "Endorsing ''The Ithaca Plan: A Public Health and Saftey Approach to Drugs and Drug Policy.'"

The resolution is sponsored by the chair of our Campus Welfare Committee, Ulysses Smith, and Employee Representative Linda Copman. It was approved by a 13-0-1 vote of the Assembly at our November 29, 2016 meeting. By passing this resolution, the University Assembly has officially endorsed the Ithaca Plan.

University Assembly Members,

I hope you are doing well.

This email is to notify you that we are now holding an email vote for UA Resolution #5: "In Support of Making Cornell A Sanctuary Campus," sponsored by Ranking Member Rina Winarto. This is an unusual method for holding a vote, but one allowed by Robert's Rules and one to which the Assembly agreed at our last meeting given the strict urgency of the matter.

Here are the voting instructions and information:

Dear Jordan,

I acknowledge receipt of Student Assembly Resolution 18: Setting the Special Projects Funding Guidelines. Thank you for informing me of these additions to the Standing Rules.
