  "account": "Approximately 150 faculty members are said to be in support of a no-confidence resolution being debated by the Cornell University faculty senate. The resolution, if adopted, could represent the clearest repudiation of the school's leadership since a \"gang rape\" allegation at a campus fraternity shook the Ivy League institution one month ago. Iris Packman, a faculty senator, told ABC News that the resolution \"condemns the school’s response to sexual violence on campus\" and emphasizes that the Jane Doe case is just the tip of the iceberg. The resolution, co-sponsored by a dozen faculty senators, does not call for specific actions like resignations or policy changes but offers a broad condemnation of the school's handling of the crisis. Cornell's president and provost will address the faculty senate before the debate begins, with voting scheduled to take place online after a meeting on October 28. The resolution prohibits photography or video recording, with only Cornell ID holders permitted entry.",
