康奈尔大学教职工参议院通过不信任决议：55.6%赞成，涉性侵案处理争议
纽约州伊萨卡消息，康奈尔大学教职工参议院11月6日（星期五）通过一项不信任决议，对校方中央管理层及校长迈克尔·科特利科夫处理校园性侵危机的方式表示不信任。
决议以75票赞成、50票反对获得通过，另有5人弃权、5人未投票；在135名参议员中，赞成票占55.6%、反对票占37%，超过了通过所需的51%简单多数。这是该校教职工参议院56年历史上首次通过不信任投票。
决议写道，教职工参议院"对中央管理层有效应对康奈尔大学持续存在的性侵危机不抱信心"。决议由劳动史教授保罗·奥尔蒂斯发起，获得18名教职工参议员与165名教职工联署；奥尔蒂斯说，他是应数百名学生的要求起草该决议的。投票于10月29日至11月6日进行，其间教职工就是否应发出这一强烈信号辩论了数周。
这项决议本身并不罢免科特利科夫或任何管理人员—教职工参议院无权解职校长，只有校董会拥有这一权力；决议也未要求科特利科夫辞职。校董会主席安妮·斯莫林在声明中重申，校董会仍然相信科特利科夫及其管理层是"深思熟虑、全面应对校园性侵这一严重问题的合适领导者"。
争议源于一名化名"简·多伊"的前学生今年9月提起的诉讼：她指控校方在她2024年兄弟会派对上遭性侵后未能保护她，也未充分惩处涉事学生。诉讼引发全国关注后，康奈尔暂停兄弟会派对一学年，并委托前代理司法部长萨莉·耶茨对校方政策与应对展开独立审查。科特利科夫自2025年3月起担任校长；他在投票开始前一天表示，学校已采取措施，包括为民权办公室增员、扩大性侵预防教育、增聘受害者权益专员。
Cornell Faculty Senate Passes No-Confidence Resolution: 55.6% in Favor, Over Handling of Sexual Assault Crisis
ITHACA, N.Y. — Cornell University's Faculty Senate approved a resolution of no confidence on Friday, November 6, in the central administration and President Michael Kotlikoff over the school's handling of alleged sexual assault on campus.
The resolution passed 75 to 50, with five senators abstaining and five not voting; 55.6 percent voted in favor and 37 percent against, clearing the 51 percent simple majority required. It was the first time the Faculty Senate has passed such a vote in its 56-year history.
The resolution states that the Faculty Senate has "no confidence in the ability of the central administration to effectively address the ongoing crisis of sexual assault at Cornell University." It was introduced by Paul Ortiz, a professor of labor history, and drew the support of 18 faculty senators and 165 faculty members; Ortiz said he drafted it in response to hundreds of students who asked faculty to take a stand. Senators cast their votes between October 29 and November 6, after weeks of debate.
The resolution does not itself remove Kotlikoff or any other administrator — the Faculty Senate has no authority to dismiss the president; only the Board of Trustees does — and it did not call for his resignation. Board Chair Anne Smalling said in a statement that the trustees remain confident that Kotlikoff and his administration are "the right leaders to thoughtfully and comprehensively address the serious problem of sexual assault on our campus."
The dispute grew out of a lawsuit filed in September by a former student, identified only as Jane Doe, alleging that Cornell failed to protect her and adequately punish students after she was sexually assaulted during a fraternity house party in 2024. After the suit drew national attention, Cornell suspended fraternity parties for a year and commissioned an independent review by former acting Attorney General Sally Yates of the university's policies and response. Kotlikoff has been president since March 2025; the day before voting began, he said the university had added staff to its civil rights office, expanded sexual assault prevention education and hired staff focused on victim advocacy.
