Ithaca College President Gets ‘No Confidence’ Vote from Student Government

The Ithaca College (IC) student government unanimously voted no-confidence in President Tom Rochon Monday night following weeks of contention over allegations of racism and discrimination at the school.

The resolution, passed by all 11 members of the Student Government Association (SGA), calls for an online student body vote later in the month, with results to be announced by the end of November. It recommends the Ithaca College Faculty to vote on the same issue.

“Each person who spoke to the crowd talked about being sick of talking about these issues [regarding being students of color on campus] and demanded specific action from the administration.”

“There have been a ton of issues on campus this year that have gone, not entirely unaddressed, but unaddressed in the way students like and are comfortable with,” SGA President Dom Recckio told the Ithaca Voice.
