Cornell Faculty Senate debates no-confidence resolution over administration's handling of sexual assault allegations
Cornell University's Faculty Senate held a closed-door meeting on October 15, 2026, to debate a no-confidence resolution against President Michael Kotlikoff's administration over its handling of a woman's report that she was gang raped at a Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. The resolution was introduced by labor history professor Paul Ortiz, who accused the administration of treating rape as a PR problem and fostering a culture of fear. Debate was expected to continue October 28, followed by electronic voting, with faculty members describing the mood as heavily against Kotlikoff.
