Cornell University's faculty senate has proposed a no-confidence resolution in the administration over their handling of an alleged 2024 sexual assault case at a fraternity house. The resolution, submitted Monday evening, criticizes what professors see as insufficient action on addressing campus sexual assaults and aims to prompt systemic changes. Faculty members claim students have been reporting unsatisfactory responses from the university regarding their safety concerns for years. The proposed measure is set for consideration by the full Faculty Senate at its October 14 meeting.

Story summary
The Cornell University Faculty Senate introduced a no-confidence resolution against the university administration over their handling of an alleged 2024 sexual assault incident. The resolution was submitted to the University Faculty Committee and states that the senate has "no confidence in the ability of the central administration to effectively address the ongoing crisis of sexual assault at Cornell University." This measure is expected to be discussed during a meeting on October 14, according to Faculty Senator Paul Ortiz. Supporters argue that this action aims to force systemic change and address long-standing issues regarding campus safety, as students have reported feeling unsafe for several years due to repeated incidents of sexual assault.
