Graduate and Professional Student Assembly - Resolution 7 (2019-2020)

Condemnation of the dangerously late closure of Ithaca campus on 7 February 2020

• Term:
  2019-2020
• Assembly:
  Graduate and Professional Student Assembly
• Status: Rejected by the Assembly
• Abstract: On 6 and 7 February an anticipated winter storm hit Ithaca. Despite dangerous conditions before the start of classes and the suspension of all bus service soon after classes began, classes on Ithaca campus were held until 10:02 AM and campus remained open until 12:02 PM, at which time students, instructors and staff who had or were already required to travel to campus were advised to not travel. This late closure needlessly endangered the community and was especially callous toward those with mobility barriers.
