Cornell: Faculty declares no confidence in university leaders

The Cornell University faculty senate passed a formal no-confidence resolution against the school’s top leaders on Friday. The move reflects deep discontent among faculty members regarding how the institution’s administration handled a former student’s allegations that she was gang-raped at a fraternity party in 2024. This was reported by The Guardian and The Jerusalem Post.

According to reports, the resolution passed by a vote of 75-50, with ten senators either abstaining or not voting. The complainant, who argued in a civil lawsuit that the university failed to protect her, triggered the ongoing controversy. Further details regarding the administration's official response to the vote have not yet been released.
