Thrones are empty for a reason
On the eve of No Kings Day, we update you on the latest developments in Cornell’s campus authoritarianism. More to the point, we highlight action steps to join the resistance (if you’re one of those people who can’t see yourself becoming the subject of a king, on campus or otherwise). Sneak peek: Sign the student petition referendum for a democratic code of conduct, sign the No Loyalty Oaths petition for US universities, and show up for No Kings Day tomorrow!
Newsletter #12: Good Tidings of Decarbonization
Two of Cornell’s governing bodies weighed in on Cornell’s State of Sustainability this month, and their conclusions could not have been more divergent.

We bring good tidings: the students are right, and a new white paper on Cornell’s Heating Decarbonization pathways underscores the strength of their case.
