Cornell University's Faculty Senate has passed a resolution of no confidence in the administration's handling of sexual assault cases, following a former student's lawsuit alleging gang rape at a fraternity party in 2024. The resolution, which passed with 56% of the votes, is largely symbolic but sends a strong message to President Michael Kotlikoff and the administration. The vote reflects deep discontent on campus and criticism of the administration's response to the allegations. The Board of Trustees has expressed support for President Kotlikoff, stating that he and his administration are the right leaders to address the issue. New York Attorney General Letitia James has appointed former federal prosecutor Jacqueline Kelly to lead the criminal investigation into the gang rape allegations.
