Cornell University Faculty to Begin Debating No-Confidence Resolution
Faculty sponsors say about 150 members back the measure, which would rebuke leaders over campus sexual assault policies and fraternity oversight.
- On Wednesday, the Cornell University Faculty Senate began deliberating a no-confidence resolution condemning the administration's response to sexual violence on campus, one month after allegations of a gang rape at a fraternity shook the Ivy League school.
- Faculty senator Iris Packman described the Jane Doe case as the "tip of the iceberg," stating that "it's a long-term systemic problem" and the administration has failed to address ongoing sexual assault allegations beyond this single incident.
- Approximately 150 faculty members have signaled support for the resolution, which was co-sponsored by a dozen members of The Faculty Senate; the measure requires a majority vote to pass.
- Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff announced Tuesday that the university suspended all fraternity social events and added staff to the Office of Civil Rights to support survivors during a review of campus sexual violence policies.
- Voting on the resolution is scheduled to begin online after an Oct. 28 meeting and will last for five days, according to organizers, with the outcome determining whether the faculty formally rejects the administration's leadership.
