Senate Speaker Jonathan Ochshorn, Emeritus, Architecture
I do not believe that the Senate should pass resolutions condemning people. I see much that I don’t like about Malina’s message and I would be willing to support a resolution denouncing the message. Even for that, though, I would like more information than a Cornell Daily Sun article. It is not a paragon of investigative journalism and I do not think we should be casting aspersion solely on the Sun’s say so.
