When the student assembly voted to require faculty to alert students to upsetting educational materials, administrators pushed back.

A resolution urging instructors to provide warnings on the syllabus about “traumatic content” that might be discussed in class, including sexual assault, self-harm, and transphobic violence was unanimously approved by Cornell’s undergraduate student assembly late last month. Less than a week after it was submitted to the administration for approval, the university president vetoed it.
