Graduate and Professional Student Assembly - Resolution 17 (2019-2020)

Demanding Cornell compensate students for fees paid for unfinished Physical Education courses

• Term:
  2019-2020
• Assembly:
  Graduate and Professional Student Assembly
• Status: Rejected by the Assembly
• Abstract: Because of the coronavirus pandemic, students were unable to continue receiving instruction for physical education courses that, by their nature, are required to be taught in person. Despite this abrupt end to instruction, Cornell’s policy is that students will not be partially reimbursed or otherwise compensated for the fees they paid on top of their standard tuition to participate in those physical education courses. This policy is unfair since students are not being provided with the services for which they paid. Cornell must commit to reimbursing or otherwise compensating students for the fees associated with unfinished physical education courses.
