Cornell University's faculty has declared no confidence in the institution's leadership, Deutsche Welle reported on November 7, 2026. The vote follows intense criticism of how the university has handled sexual crimes on campus. Deutsche Welle reported that the criticism grew after a former student filed a lawsuit in which she said she was drugged and raped at a fraternity house in October 2024. The report did not give the vote count or any response from the university's leadership.
