Cornell Faculty to Vote on No Confidence in Administration Oct. 28
Cornell University faculty are preparing for a potential vote of no confidence in the administration’s handling of sexual assault allegations, with debate resuming and voting scheduled for October 28. The move follows reports that a woman accusing students of rape felt "disbelieved" by university leadership after reporting an alleged October 2024 assault. An independent investigation led by former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is currently reviewing the university's response, disciplinary practices, and oversight of Greek life. Faculty members argue the administration has failed to address what they describe as a crisis on campus.
