Dear President Skorton,

I would like to convey to you GPSA Resolution 9: Resolution in Support of Assistant Dean of Students for Student Activities Joseph Scaffido and in Condemnation of Efforts to Terminate his Employment. This resolution makes it clear that the GPSA stands behind Assistant Dean Scaffido, and condemns the shoddy journalism which has led to the current cloud of controversy. It is also critical of those politicians who have used this incident to attempt to defund Cornell. As part of the resolved clauses in this resolution, it asks that it be sent to New York State Assembly members Chris Friend and Brian Kolb, and New York State Republican Party Chair Edward Cox, who have all used this incident for political gain. I would ask assistance in making sure this reaches them as well.

Respectfully submitted, Richard Walroth
