教职员工参议会计划在2024年就一项罕见的不信任决议进行投票，该决议对管理人员处理兄弟会成员性侵犯指控的方式进行投票。
The faculty senate plans to vote on a rare resolution of no confidence over administrators’ handling of allegations of sexual assault by fraternity members in 2024.
康奈尔大学的领导层本已因学校处理校园性侵犯指控而陷入困境，周一晚间，该校教职委员会通知计划就一项罕见的对学校管理人员不信任决议进行投票，这再次受到打击。
The leaders of Cornell University, already embattled over the school’s handling of sexual assault allegations on campus, received another blow late Monday when the school’s faculty senate gave notice of plans to vote on a rare resolution of no confidence in the school’s administrators.
尽管这项措施在很大程度上是象征性的，但它在教职员工中的明显支持承诺将增加对大学校长迈克尔·科特利科夫和其他领导人的压力，因为他们因康奈尔大学处理2024年校园性侵犯报告而面临谴责。
Although largely symbolic, the measure and its apparent support among faculty members promised to increase pressure on the university’s president, Michael Kotlikoff, and other leaders as they face condemnation over Cornell’s handling of a reported sexual assault on campus in 2024.
截至周一晚间，该决议草案宣读了“教职员工参议会对中央政府有效解决康奈尔大学持续性侵犯危机的能力没有信心”。一位大学发言人没有立即回复记者的置评请求。
“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,” a draft of the resolution read as of Monday night. A university spokeswoman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
这一措施出台之际，康奈尔大学正在努力应对一名前学生提起的诉讼，这名学生被确认为Jane Doe，他在2024年10月的一次家庭聚会上指控Chi Phi兄弟会的七名成员进行性侵犯。
This measure comes as Cornell has grappled with its response to a lawsuit filed by a former student, identified as Jane Doe, who accused seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity of sexual assault at a house party in October 2024.
政府学教授、学院参议院成员理查德？本塞尔（Richard Bensel）承认，这样一项决议如果获得通过，不会导致任何行政人员被免职。但他补充说，它仍然是强大的，因为它会给那些负责大学的人带来不赞成的刺痛。
Richard Bensel, a professor of government and member of the faculty senate, acknowledged that such a resolution, if passed, would not cause any administrator to be removed from office. But he added that it was potent, still, for the sting of disapproval it would deliver to those in charge of the university.
学院参议会的另一位成员、音乐副教授阿丽亚娜·金（Ariana Kim）表示，这项措施将是对康奈尔大学领导力的否定，实际上是在说，“我们不相信你适合管理这个机构。”康奈尔大学校园发生骚乱之前，无名氏指控她从2024年10月19日开始在几个小时内遭到毒品和强奸。
Another member of the faculty senate, an associate music professor named Ariana Kim, said the measure would serve as a repudiation of Cornell’s leadership, effectively saying, “We don’t believe you’re fit to run this institution.”The turmoil on Cornell’s campus followed Jane Doe’s allegations that she was plied with drugs and raped over several hours beginning on Oct. 19, 2024.
汤普金斯县地方检察官审查了该女子2024年提出的投诉，并拒绝起诉。所有被告均否认有不当行为，也没有人被指控犯罪。
The Tompkins County district attorney reviewed a complaint filed by the woman in 2024 and declined to prosecute. All of the accused men have denied wrongdoing, and none have been charged with a crime.
上周，州长凯西·霍赫尔（Kathy Hochul）任命州总检察长利蒂西亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）为特别检察官，授权她对无名氏的指控进行刑事调查。
Last week, Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed the state attorney general, Letitia James, as special prosecutor, empowering her to conduct her own criminal investigation into Jane Doe’s allegations.
周一，数千名学生与一些教职员工一起聚集在康奈尔大学校园中心抗议，并游行到一栋主要行政大楼。
And on Monday, thousands of students, joined by some faculty members, gathered in protest in the center of Cornell’s campus and marched to a main administrative building.
许多参加抗议活动的康奈尔大学社区成员将他们的挫败感归咎于大学校长科特利科夫先生。
Many members of the Cornell community who attended the protest directed their frustration at the university president, Mr. Kotlikoff.
科特利科夫在周六的视频信息中称这是“康奈尔大学历史上的决定性时刻”，并表示他支持独立调查。
In a video message on Saturday, Mr. Kotlikoff called this a “defining moment in Cornell’s history” and said he supported an independent investigation.
