Ithaca College Students Cast Vote of "No Confidence" Against College President 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
And at Ithaca College in upstate New York, students voted overwhelmingly
to cast a vote of no confidence against college president Tom Rochon,
who has faced increasing calls to resign amid protests against racism on
campus. The protesters accuse Rochon of responding inadequately to
racist incidents, including one where an African American alum was
repeatedly called a "savage" by two white male fellow alumni.
