GUEST ROOM | What Does OSCCS Stand For? Not Students, Not Community

·

Despite our good-faith compliance with OSCCS’s procedures, an office that promises due process, student justice and democratic governance kept us in the dark. After 52 days of silence, merely one day after the announcement of our fall recruitment schedule, we were struck with a temporary suspension. There was no room for negotiation, discourse or the opportunity to defend ourselves. We write this guest column not to absolve our responsibility to improve our organization, but rather to convey a broader concern: the undemocratic nature of OSCCS harms the very student body that it claims to serve.

He leaves Cornell with a message: "In these challenging times for journalism and politics, the Sun is needed more than ever for the Cornell community and beyond. But it also has an immeasurable and maybe unexpected impact on each of us who worked there. I wish the Sun and all those connected with it many more years of success."
