Dear Ulysses,

Thank you for sending to me the proposed revisions to the Employee Assembly Charter and Bylaws as presented in EA R10. In an effort to be timely and to allow your spring elections to take place with the inclusion of the revised seat allocations, I accept most of what you propose and ask that you clarify and confirm other aspects as follows:

Defining Objections to Actions (Article IV, Section 5)

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
