Members of the Cornell University Faculty Senate have introduced a resolution for a vote of no confidence against the university administration for its handling of the 2024 alleged gang rape on campus, as calls for reform and accountability reverberate with hundreds of protesters gathering on campus.

The resolution was submitted to the university faculty committee Monday evening, according to Paul Ortiz, a professor of labor history at Cornell who is also a member of the Faculty Senate. The group will review the resolution and it will be put on the full Faculty Senate agenda for when the Senate meets on October 14, Ortiz said.

A vote of no confidence, meant to convey a group has lost faith in a leader or administration, would be a sign of serious dissatisfaction and put pressure on university leadership to take action. “The faculty have been approached by hundreds of students, alumni, staff who are demanding that we do something,” Ortiz told CNN.
