A Statement on Signing

I am serving on Cornell’s Committee on Campus Expressive Activity. We have been charged with “making recommendations for the formulation of a Cornell policy that both protects free expression and the right to protest, while establishing content-neutral limits that ensure the ability of the university community to pursue its mission.” Our mission includes formulating a replacement for Cornell’s controversial Interim Expressive Activity Policy, making recommendations about how the university should respond to violations of the policy, and educating faculty, staff, and students about the policy and the values at stake.
