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. We hope that by pushing our elections later in the semester we will have time to better engage staff and see an increase in participation. If you have any questions please let me know.

Best,
Greg

Dear Greg,

I am pleased to accept EA Resolution #3, In Gratitude of our Caring Community. This resolution beautifully pays tribute to the support and concern shown by so many members of the Cornell Community during and after the tragic accident on January 26, 2015 that took the life of staff member Angela Stedwell.

Dear Greg,

Thank you for submitting EA Resolution 6, One Year Terms for Newly Elected Members, in 2015-2016. I appreciate the EA’s efforts to consider its structure in order to better serve the needs of Cornell staff in the future. I understand that the work of the EA Elections Taskforce, which presented new options for the structure and composition of the EA, requires time for consideration and implementation.

President Skorton –

Resolution 6 was passed to align our elections and terms with our new proposed assembly structure that we are currently working to finalize and should have for approval this fall. This resolution was the work of our Elections Taskforce and shortens the normal two-year term of those elected in 2015 to one year.

Best,
Greg

Therefore, I will forward your resolution to them so that they can understand your reasoning and recommendation. Regards, David Skorton
