Cornell protests grow as faculty prepares rare no-confidence vote

Cornell's Faculty Senate is preparing a rare vote of no confidence in the university's

leadership as anger grows over its handling of a 2024 alleged gang rape

The largely symbolic resolution would put new pressure on university leaders who are

already facing calls for change over how the school handled these sexual assault allegations

The vote is expected October 14. It comes after hundreds of students, faculty and community members protested on campus late Monday

Cornell's main administration building was also found covered in graffiti and damaged

Protesters accused the university's president and trustees of putting Cornell's reputation ahead of student safety

Some are now calling for President Michael Kotlikoff to resign and for the university

to ban fraternities
