Cornell’s Faculty Senate on Friday Nov. 6 approved a vote of no confidence in university administrators, dealing a symbolic blow to embattled President Michael Kotlikoff, who has received mounting criticism over his handling of campus sexual assault . "This vote is a reckoning for our University," Faculty Senators who brought forward the no confidence vote said in a statement. "It is a call for real, systemic change; not a slow-moving taskforce, weakly enforced ban on fraternity parties, or expensive PR damage control, but meaningful, evidence-based steps to reduce the incidence of sexual assault on campus and provide significant support to and justice for survivors." According to a faculty union spokesperson, the no confidence vote passed in the Faculty Senate with 75 votes for the resolution and 50 against it. It marks the first time the university's faculty Senate has passed such a no confidence vote in its 56-year history.
