The University Assembly proposed a host of changes to the Campus Code of Conduct on Tuesday night that included both lengthening the period that an organization can be suspended and ending the use of indefinite suspensions for campus organizations. This change would not affect Greek organizations because they are not University-registered, said Gabe Kaufman ’18, chair of the U.A. The new Code would also discontinue the use of indefinite suspension of University-registered organizations in an effort to prevent organizations and members from being left in a “state of limbo for years and years,” Battaglia said. No-contact orders, under the proposed changes, would be binding for all parties involved. After a black Cornell student said he was assaulted and called the N-word in collegetown on Sept. 15, many student groups have released formal statements denouncing hate crimes or hate speech.
