  • Summary / Notes:
    Dear GPSA members of the ESA, CSR committee and Owen ‘Gus’ Dunn-Hindle, Faculty Teaching, Advising and Mentoring Award Committee Chair:
     
    Thank you for transmitting GPSA Resolution 8: ESG recommendations on discussion of divestment from companies engaged in weapons manufacturing, and the student referendum results and summary.
     
    Following transmission of the referendum results, I replied to the Student Assembly President on May 30, 2024. In that reply, I addressed the request to divest from the ten companies you also list in Resolution 8. Rather than repeating that response here, please see the link above. In addition, GPSA Resolution 8 asks that I respond to questions from the Ad Hoc Committee on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, and Governance (ESG).That response was sent to Owen ‘Gus’ Dunn-Hindle on June 4, 2024.
     
    Thank you for your commitment to shared governance, and to Cornell’s graduate and professional school student community. Best wishes on your future endeavors.
     
    Sincerely,
     
    Martha E. Pollack
