Cornell University
Momodou Taal, a member of UE Local 300-Cornell Graduate Students United, was suspended by Cornell University without due process in retaliation for peaceful protest activities on campus. As a graduate worker, being suspended means that he loses his job, and as an international student, he is facing the threat of deportation.Local 300-CGSU and Cornell have an active Memorandum of Agreement which obligates the university to bargain over the effects of this suspension. However, Cornell is refusing to meet with the union.
