Trustee Meditation Protest
As the Cornell Board of Trustees and Cornell leadership departed their morning meetings on March 22, 2024, they filed past seven activists sitting in concentrated meditation.
We represented Cornell’s diverse constituency: student, staff, researcher, faculty, alumna, and community members.
Together, we composed the final agenda point for the Trustees’ meeting that morning:
“CLIMATE.”

The meditation begins with a bell.
Forty-five minutes later, the trustees and Cornell leadership begin to proceed down the hallway as meditation continues.
Activists maintain meditation as trustees file behind them, and one activist greets them with literature.
