Cornell Faculty Senate preps for no confidence vote on president after Jane Doe’s allegations: What to know

The Cornell University Faculty Senate will meet Wednesday to conclude debates and begin voting on a no-confidence resolution against President Michael Kotlikoff. This action follows widespread frustration and national uproar regarding the administration's handling of sexual assault allegations. Specifically, the controversy stems from a reported 2024 gang rape at a campus fraternity that resulted in no criminal charges. Over 75 members of the body are participating in this second meeting to decide the resolution's fate.
