Whereas, the Campus Pulse committee is tasked in the Student Assembly Bylaws with creating student programming to combat discrimination on-campus,
Whereas, the LGBTQIA+ Representative and the Women’s Issues Representative have reserved seats on the committee,
Whereas, the Students with Disabilities Representative does not have a reserved seat on the committee,
Whereas, Article X: Amendments of the Student Assembly Bylaws reads:

Amendments may be presented to the assembly by voting members and by community petition with at least 100 Cornell undergraduate student signatures.”
