— 12h
Cornell’s Faculty Senate voted 75-50 to express no confidence in senior administrators’ handling of the university’s sexual-assault crisis, following a lawsuit alleging a former student was drugged and gang-raped at a fraternity house in 2024. The symbolic vote has no power to force leadership changes, and the allegations are under investigation; the men named in the lawsuit deny wrongdoing.
