Since the August RA strike, the University has met many of their initial demands, but RAs continue to advocate for representation in decision making processes and for more compensation.
West Campus student staff aired out a set of grievances, asking for hazard pay and testing for live-in family members in a letter to the administration Friday — two days after RAs went on strike.
After nearly a day, Cornell RAs will suspend their strike 2 p.m. Thursday. Many RAs went on strike because they felt underpaid, unprotected from COVID-19 risks and unheard by the administration. Cornell has agreed to a “larger process of communication and dialogue” with the RAs.

Since January of this year, faculty strikes in Paris have altered 18 Cornell students’ study abroad experiences, taking place through the Emory-Duke-Cornell (EDUCO) program at the University of Paris.
EDUCO hosts a Paris Abroad program for students attending either of the three universities in its name. Cornell students studying abroad in Paris through EDUCO signed up this semester for one of its four partner universities in the French capital: University of Paris 1: Panthéon-Sorbonne, Paris 4: La Sorbonne, Paris 7: Denis-Diderot and Institute d’Etudes Politiques (Sciences-Po).
