Whereas, the Cornell community mourns the tragic on-campus events that have detrimentally impacted the mental, emotional, and physical health of the student population.
Whereas, on November 8th, a Cornell Crime Alert was distributed to the Cornell community describing an incident of a Cornell undergraduate student who was sexually assaulted and coerced into consuming ketamine and other drugs, on October 25th, 2024, in the 100 block of Edgemoor Lane in the City of Ithaca.
Whereas, on November 10th, a woman was airlifted to an out-of-state hospital after falling into Fall Creek Gorge.
Whereas, on November 10th ,a Cornell undergraduate student was found dead in Fall Creek Gorge.
Whereas, we acknowledge the past practice of community restorative days in previous years in response to tragic events.
Be it therefore resolved, that a community restorative day be granted to all matriculated Cornell students by Cornell University in the incident of a student death on or off of any institution labeled as a campus of Cornell University.
Be it finally resolved, that a community restorative day be granted to all matriculated Cornell students by Cornell University in the incident that a sexual assault is reported through a Cornell Crime Alert.
