R. 3: Concerning CJC and the Code

To the University Assembly Membership and CJC Members.

To be presented at the University Assembly meeting on November 29, 2006.

On November 20th of this year the Cornell Community received a message from President Skorton concerning the ‘Krause Report’. Included in the message was the following request,

“Now, I propose to engage the community in a thorough and timely discussion about what is best for Cornell University with respect to the Campus Code of Conduct. Given its valued role and its informed knowledge of the strengths and shortcomings of the campus code, I hereby ask the University Assembly to gather community input and submit views and recommendations, concerning the April 2006 report, to my office by April 1, 2007. To further facilitate the process, I am establishing a working group to collaborate with the University Assembly and to assist me in my review of anticipated revisions of the code.”

Therefore, be it moved that the UA delegate the gathering of said community input, using such methods as it deems appropriate, to its Codes and Judicial Committee (CJC). The CJC is encouraged to add additional non-voting ad hoc members representative of the various constituencies as necessary for the sole purpose of dealing with the gathered views and helping with the generation of a report. The members of the President’s Working Group should also be added as a non-voting ad hoc members to assure that the Administration�s views and recommendations are represented. The final report with summary data and recommendations should be submitted to the UA no later than March 7, 2007. The CJC shall, at its next meeting on Wednesday, December 6, 2006, develop and approve a process to develop the report, including a schedule of meetings and fora.
