Exclusive video offers insight into Cornell University Faculty Senate meeting

Exclusive video offers insight into Wednesday's high-stakes meeting at Cornell University.

This comes nearly two years after a student reported being gang-raped at a fraternity house. Earlier this month, the university announced former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates will lead what they call a "comprehensive independent review" of its handling of sexual misconduct claims, including the 2024 case.

At Wednesday's meeting, faculty debated whether they have confidence in the university's leadership to address sexual assaults.

Part of the video shows a speaker questioning the university president about the outside investigation.

"President Kotlikoff, can you name all of the different kinds of assaults, both sexual and otherwise, on men, women and children that the outside investigators will be examining, and how far will they go back in time in their investigations?" one speaker asks.

"What academic speech has been restricted?" Kotlikoff asks the speaker.

Another meeting will take place on Oct. 28. After that, faculty members will have about one week to submit their vote on the no-confidence resolution.

All seven men who have been accused in that 2024 case have denied the allegations.
