Sending love and solidarity to all our colleagues at Brown.

Gun control is an education issue. How can we teach and expect our students to learn with the specter of mass shootings hanging over classroom?

We're horrified at news from Brown about the 2 students killed & 9 injured. We feel a particular kinship with the Brown community--& concern for its students--due to the encouragement we've received from Stand Strong Brown.

We really hope their community gets a huge outpouring of helpful support

Here's a video showing 2 Cornell Courage members up in Ithaca earlier this week to hand-deliver our letters to offices of the President and Board. Despite the cold (..and you know that kind of cold...) it was important to show we are serious. See the letters on our web site at cornellcourage.org

If you're wondering, "why haven't we seen Cornell students upset about the agreement?", this might explain.

Relates to how the administration's been treating student protestors in recent months.

Might this impact student's willingness to publicly complain?

We're going to submit more signatures in Jan., when we'll have followed up with the Pres/Board to request a meeting. So please sign on!

+Help us reach more alumni to show Cornell a sizable, committed alumni movement that's demanding they get things back on track.

We also included a letter from the steering committee with specific demands that Cornell must take to limit the damage & protect Cornell's values.
