Cornellians were actively engaged in discussions and demonstrations during the past week over the proposed campus residential housing policy. President Hunter Rawlings and Vice President for Student and Academic Services Susan Murphy held a series of meetings with involved students and faculty throughout the week. Controversy has centered around a recommendation that freshmen be phased out of living in campus program houses over the next five to seven years.

A coalition of student groups organized another rally in front of Day Hall, above, on April 25. Approximately 400 students marched and gathered in front of the building to hear speakers, including activist Al Sharpton who was invited by the Cornell chapter of the NAACP, address issues relating to the program houses, racism, diversity and student choice.
