Cornell University's Faculty Senate approved a resolution expressing no confidence in the university's administration, CBS News reported in a report published November 6, 2026. According to the same account, the resolution applies to Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff and other administrators.
The CBS News headline describes the action as a vote of no confidence, and the summary describes the Senate as having approved a resolution to that effect. The summary presents the decision as the Senate's formal action on a resolution, the form in which the faculty body acted.
The summary names Kotlikoff as Cornell's president and says the resolution includes other administrators, but it does not identify those officials by name. Under the summary's wording, the resolution covers the administration as a group, with the president named specifically.
The CBS News summary does not report the number of senators who voted for the resolution, the reasons given for it, or any response from Kotlikoff, other administrators, or the university. It also does not say what, if anything, the resolution requires of the administration.
Readers who want the full context of the vote can consult the CBS News report on the Faculty Senate vote.
This account rests on that single CBS News item, including its headline and summary, and on no other reporting.
