Cornell Faculty Senate passes no-confidence vote over Jane Doe case, but board of trustees backs president

The Cornell University Faculty Senate recently voted no-confidence in the administration and President Michael Kotlikoff amid a scandal involving allegations of gang rape at a campus fraternity. This symbolic move, supported by 55% of the faculty, reflects growing discontent over the university's handling of the Jane Doe case. Meanwhile, the board of trustees has publicly backed President Kotlikoff, highlighting a rift between faculty and university leadership. This situation underscores broader concerns about campus safety and the administration's accountability in handling sexual assault allegations.
