  Dear President Pollack,

   

  It is my pleasure to convey to you Student Assembly Resolution 61: Demanding Cornell Fight for Fair Terms for the Remote Services its Community is Required to Use. 

   

  Because of the coronavirus pandemic, students and instructors are required to use tools like Zoom and CASHNet. Despite privacy and security risks, both services mandate that users waive their right to sue in court or as part of a class action. Cornell must contact third-party vendors and fight to ensure their terms do not strip these essential legal rights. If Cornell cannot negotiate the removal of unfair terms from a service, it must commit to provide legal support for anyone harmed by use of that service.

   

  Please let me know if you have any questions.

   

  Best,

  Joe Anderson
