Presidential Task Force on Campus Climate
Final reports were released by subcommittees June 8, 2018.
Since its founding, Cornell has aspired to be a diverse and inclusive university. Cornell’s founding principles continue to inspire and guide us, and when the experience of the community fails to reflect these goals, we must redouble our efforts to create the kind of environment we seek.
In September 2017, President Martha E. Pollack announced the formation of the Presidential Task Force on Campus Climate, composed of faculty, staff and students on the Ithaca campus, and charged with making specific recommendations about how Cornell can implement meaningful institutional change that leads to a campus climate that is more diverse and inclusive, and that expresses greater respect and understanding. The Task Force is also charged with recommending approaches that enable the university to respond effectively to incidents of bigotry and intolerance.
