Cornell University's Faculty Senate is now discussing a potential no-confidence vote in the institution's president, a significant escalation as the campus remains under fire following allegations of a gang rape.
The university has said it is making big changes on campus in the wake of the allegations, but criticism has not subsided. The faculty governing body's deliberations over whether to formally express a lack of confidence in the president represent a notable challenge to the administration's leadership.
The development was reported on October 14, 2026.
