UA R8 (2014-2015): Accepted by the President

Dear Jim,

Thank you for sharing with me the University Assembly’s Resolution 8 (Revised), which updates the Assembly Bylaws to match the revised Charter of the Campus Planning Committee. The resulting alignment satisfies the requirement that both the Assembly and the responsible administrative unit approve changes to the charge of an associated committee of the Assembly. I am pleased to learn that the Assembly participated in the CPC’s six-month process of reviewing and updating its Charter.

Regards,

David

UA R12 (2014-2015): Accepted by the President

Dear Jim,

Thank you for submitting the University Assembly’s Resolution 12 (Revised), Charge to the Cornell Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee.

GPSA R9 (2014-2015): Deferred by the President

Dear Richard:

I appreciate the GPSA’s resolution in support of Assistant Dean Joseph Scaffido. Cornell University strives to promote the peaceful, honest, and responsible exchange of ideas while rejecting, in the strongest terms, any incitement to violence. The heavily edited video released by Project Veritas was a flagrant and malicious attempt to misrepresent these Cornell values.

EA R4 (2014-2015): Implemented

Dear Greg,

Thank you for all that you and your colleagues do in support of the hard working staff at Cornell. I have considered E.A Resolution #4, which proposes a change to the election schedule. Currently Section 3.5.2 Filling Regular Vacancies by Elections and states that elections must be completed and results tabulated no later than the last day of March. Your rationale for to change the election schedule in order to increase the time available to promote EA elections is practical and I support this effort.

President Skorton –

Attached is EA Resolution 4 – Elections Calendar Charter Change. The resolution slightly modifies our elections calendar to better serve the needs of the staff community.
