    I would like to report the Student Assembly's first four resolutions of the year to you. I would like to reiterate some of the sentiments that have already been expressed to the Office of the President considering the dialogue that develops from presentation of resolutions by the Student Assembly. We hope that this is an opportunity to open up discussion about the most pressing and relevant issues for the student body. Without this consistent and reliable stream of communication, we as an assembly are unsure of what information is received by the Office of the President and what type of support and opinion exists. I would like to strongly urge your Office and cabinet to keep up with the practice of responding to all resolutions in some manner, despite the layers of administrative procedures that are sometimes associated with it.



    Resolution 1 is "Cornell Student Assembly: Current Standing Rules” The Student Assembly updates their Standing Rules at the beginning of each semester. There is also an amended appendix on the Dashboard. You may notice that there are some significant edits to the Standing Rules: this is because we added or removed language to reflect our current practices.
    I am looking forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Kind regards,
    Juliana
