After months of advocacy, Anabel’s Grocery will reopen in the first week of March, almost a year after it closed in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Since the publishing of the Young America’s Foundation post that targeted three Student Assembly members of color, the three have been bombarded with an overwhelming influx of violent messages.
The Student Assembly passed a resolution calling for Cornell Police disarmament during its last meeting of the semester on Thursday.
In just a little more than 24 hours, four Student Assembly members — all of whom voted “no” on the contentious disarmament resolution — have been either removed from committees or the assembly as a whole.
Thursday’s Student Assembly meeting focused on code of conduct resolutions, as a revote on a resolution to disarm CUPD never materialized.
The petitions are for all but one of the members who voted “no” on a resolution to urge the University to disarm the Cornell University Police Department, and were filed mostly by S.A. members who voted in favor of the resolution.
A three-hour Student Assembly meeting over campus police disarmament turned into a week and a half of online harassment.
While the protest occurred at the CUPD headquarters, the other target of organizers was clear: Recalling the 15 Student Assembly voting members who voted against the resolution.
Interruptions, hostility and heightened tensions set the tone for Thursday’s Student Assembly meeting — which ultimately saw a resolution to disarm the Cornell University Police Department fail by razor-thin margins.
“The overwhelming majority of students who are going to be deeply impacted by these changes are probably completely unaware that these changes are being pushed through,” said Marisa O’Gara, a third-year law student and Judicial Codes Counselor.
