🚨 CORNELL FACULTY VOTE NO CONFIDENCE Cornell University’s faculty senate approved a resolution on Friday declaring no confidence in the school’s top leaders. The vote was 75-50, with five abstentions and five not voting, according to an email sent to members of the faculty senate on Friday afternoon. The resolution cited the administration’s ability to handle what it has called a sexual assault crisis. A former student sued the university over claims it did not protect her from an alleged 2024 gang rape. Source: The Guardian, The Straits Times #Cornell
