Reading time: about 4 minutesThe University Assembly held its last of three public feedback sessions on Wednesday as part of the Code and Procedures Review Committee to gather community input on the Student Code of Conduct and its enforcement procedures. During the session, University affiliates raised concerns about how the Code is structured and how its accompanying procedures are implemented in practice. The approximately 35-minute meeting brought together around 18 participants — including faculty members, Student Assembly representatives and administrators — as part of a review process launched in Fall 2025 to evaluate the clarity, fairness and structural integrity of Cornell’s Student Code of Conduct. Prof. Jonathan Butcher, engineering, echoed concerns about inconsistencies between how students, faculty and staff are treated under University policies. The review process is expected to continue over the coming months, with recommendations to be shared with University’s leadership.
