Cornell’s Community Day: There Was No Restoration - The Cornell Daily Sun
The month of November began with a ping: an email to the entire student body, faculty and staff declaring a “Community Restorative Day”. For many of my peers and me, the restorative day was in fact, not that restorative at all. The University’s failure to implement the two core aspects of the community restorative day resulted in the day’s purpose to be overlooked. So, if the community restorative day was neither particularly restorative or community-building, what has the University accomplished through that initiative? And here’s our email: [email protected].

Inside the Boardroom - The Cornell Daily Sun
There is also one Life-Trustee which is reserved for the eldest lineal descendant of Ezra Cornell, and is currently held by Ezra Cornell ’70. Under this model, I have noticed a complementary and symbiotic relationship between the board and administration; the board is truly supportive. As the Student-Elected Trustee, I must thoughtfully synthesize and represent the complex and fluid student perspective to the board and administration. The Cornell Daily Sun is interested in publishing a broad and diverse set of content from the Cornell and greater Ithaca community. And here’s our email: [email protected].

India rescuers make painstaking progress towards 41 trapped in tunnel
SILKYARA TUNNEL , India, Nov 28, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Indian rescue teams crept forward Tuesday in a painstaking dig by hand through rock and rubble towards 41 workers who have been trapped in a collapsed road tunnel for 17 days. Rescuers have brought in a superheated plasma cutter to slice through submerged metal rods that have repeatedly impeded progress. Tunnel expert Chris Cooper, who is advising the rescue teams, said Monday he was optimistic that they would break through. The 41 construction workers have been trapped since November 12 in a tunnel being constructed between the remote towns of Silkyara and Dandalgaon in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand. Though trapped, the workers have plenty of space in the tunnel, with the area inside 8.5 metres (28 feet) high and stretching about two kilometres in length.
