The Student Assembly considered 14 resolutions, many of which criticized internal policy. Throughout the meeting, representatives expressed their grievances with the Assembly’s internal operations, including a lack of Assembly Executive Cabinet meetings — the last of which occurred in October. According to the Student Assembly Bylaws, Executive Vice President Christian Flournoy ’27 is tasked with meeting with committee chairs each month. Chaudhuri expressed frustration over poor communication within the Assembly and a lack of participation, pointing to the small number of resolutions introduced by Assembly members. Resolution 39: “Rebranding the Student Assembly to the Cornell Student Senate,” presented by Chaudhuri, argued that the Student Assembly’s abbreviation to S.A. has negative connotations.
