The Cornell University Faculty Senate on Friday passed a no-confidence vote against the university administration and President Michael Kotlikoff, according to The Hill's report. The measure passed 55 percent to 37 percent, with 7 percent abstaining. The outlet described the vote as a "symbolic vote" that marks the latest stage in the backlash to how the university handled the matter.

The vote follows allegations of gang rape at a campus fraternity. The Hill's report refers to the matter as the Jane Doe case and says the allegations have drawn national attention.

The Hill also reported that the Board of Trustees backs the president, even as the faculty body voted against him.

A separate report from ABC News said Cornell University was expected to release the results of a no-confidence vote regarding its handling of sexual violence. The outlet tied the vote to what it described as the "alleged gang rape of a student."

The two reports differ on the status of the vote. ABC News's summary described the results as expected for release, while The Hill reported that the Faculty Senate had already passed the measure. The summaries do not explain the difference between the two accounts.

Neither The Hill's report nor ABC News's summary, as provided, includes a statement from Cornell University on the vote.
