Students want climate action
Newsletter #25 brings you student views on the climate crisis and Cornell’s role in it. As a freshly passed Student Assembly resolution asks Cornell to cut ties with fossil fuels, new student research projects shed light on the knowledge and sentiment behind collective appeals on this topic from across campus, and on peers’ personal journeys through climate breakdown. Students are asking for more from Cornell. Will the administration listen?
Newsletter #13: Who belongs on the climate front lines?
Lots of us are scared right now. Will we be punished for speaking truth to power, protesting, pushing back against injustice? Read this call to action from a professor, a student, and an administrator, united on the need for action. People often overestimate the risks of speaking up—that’s one of the ways we get misled into compliance and inaction. The truth is that collectively, we can distribute risk and apply positive pressure that transforms institutions.
