The GPSA (Graduate and Professional Student Assembly) just voted YES on divestment in a 16-1 vote! Now, three of Cornell’s elected assemblies – the GPSA, the Student Assembly, and the Faculty Senate – have voiced their support for divesting the school’s endowment from fossil fuels, and strengthening our commitment to sustainability on campus and beyond. Like and Share to show the administration that they can’t ignore our voices anymore!
A big shoutout to the resolution sponsors: Tim Sorg, Christine Ya, Nicole Baran, Franziska Doerflinger, Gregory Fedorchak, Jay Mahat, and Lucia Munguia and our friend Jeff Bergfalk, who’s put a lot of effort into passing this resolution!
