Cornell University's Faculty Senate began voting Wednesday on a no-confidence resolution against President Michael Kotlikoff after he admitted he never read the campus police report into the alleged gang rape of a student by seven Chi Phi fraternity brothers in 2024. The vote is symbolic — the senate holds no power to force action — but faculty co-sponsors say students told them they feel unsafe and demand the university finally confront its "perennial problem" of sexual assault.

One accused brother, Scott Kretzschmar, was punished only with an essay on how to prevent drug abuse in Greek life.

The resolution asks the senate to declare it has 'no confidence in the ability of the central administration to effectively address the ongoing crisis of sexual assault at Cornell.'
