00:02Cornell's Faculty Senate is preparing a rare vote of no confidence in the university's
00:07leadership as anger grows over its handling of a 2024 alleged gang rape.
00:14The largely symbolic resolution would put new pressure on university leaders who are
00:19already facing calls for change over how the school handled these sexual assault allegations.
00:24The vote is expected October 14. It comes after hundreds of students,
00:29faculty and community members protested on campus late Monday. Cornell's main administration building
00:35was also found covered in graffiti and damaged. Protesters accused the university's president
00:41and trustees of putting Cornell's reputation ahead of student safety. Some are now calling
00:46for President Michael Kotlikoff to resign and for the university to ban fraternities.
