跟进：康奈尔教职工不信任投票同日 校董事会表态全力支持校长科特利科夫
康奈尔大学教职工参议院 11 月 6 日以 75 票对 50 票通过对校方管理层的不信任决议后，校董事会同日表态，全力支持校长迈克尔·科特利科夫与现任管理层。
此次投票源于一名女学生起诉称其 2024 年在兄弟会派对上遭到性侵，以及外界对校方处理方式的质疑。决议由教职工参议院在 10 月 29 日至 11 月 6 日间投票产生，另有 5 人弃权、5 人未投票。这是康奈尔大学教职工参议院 56 年历史上首次通过不信任投票。决议未要求科特利科夫辞职，投票本身也只具象征意义，不要求管理层下台；只有董事会有权罢免校长。
董事会主席安妮·梅尼格·斯莫林在声明中说，教职工的投票“反映了整个校园的深切愤怒”，同时表示“董事会仍然相信，科特利科夫校长及其管理层是认真、全面解决校园性侵这一严重问题的正确领导者”。决议共同提案人、教职工参议员艾丽斯·帕克曼说：“我们与这样的领导层划清了界限。”科特利科夫已承认校方应对存在不足，并宣布了新的安全措施，包括禁止兄弟会派对，以及与纽约州警察达成协议，由州警调查性侵投诉。
Follow-Up: Cornell Board Backs President Kotlikoff on Same Day as Faculty No-Confidence Vote
Hours after Cornell University's Faculty Senate voted 75-50 on Friday, November 6, to declare no confidence in the university administration, the university's Board of Trustees said the same day that it fully supports President Michael Kotlikoff and his administration.
The vote followed a former student's lawsuit alleging she was sexually assaulted at a fraternity party in 2024 and criticism of how the university handled the case. Faculty senators cast their votes between October 29 and November 6; five abstained and five did not vote. It was the first no-confidence vote in the Faculty Senate's 56-year history. The resolution did not call for Kotlikoff's resignation, and the vote is largely symbolic: only the Board of Trustees has the power to remove him.
Board Chair Anne Smalling said in a statement that the faculty vote "reflects the deep anger across our campus," while adding that "the Board of Trustees remains confident that President Kotlikoff and his administration are the right leaders to thoughtfully and comprehensively address the serious problem of sexual assault on our campus." Resolution co-sponsor and faculty senator Iris Packman said: "We distanced ourselves from this leadership." Kotlikoff has acknowledged shortcomings in the university's response and announced new safety measures, including a ban on fraternity parties and an agreement with New York State Police to investigate sexual assault complaints.
