Cornell Faculty Senate votes no confidence over campus sexual assault crisis
Briefing by News4U · First published
Cornell University's Faculty Senate on Friday declared no confidence in the administration's ability to handle a campus sexual assault crisis, DW reported. The resolution passed 75-50, according to an email to Faculty Senate members. Criticism rose after a former student said she was drugged and raped at a fraternity house in October 2024 and sued the university and former Chi Phi members, who deny the claims. Board Chair Anne Smalling said the vote reflects deep anger across campus while affirming support for President Michael Kotlikoff, who has 30 days to respond in writing. [1]
