College Fix has more on this:

The Ithacan reports that 54 percent of the student body responded to an email poll asking for their views on Rochon, who has allegedly not responded sufficiently to racial incidents on campus: a black alumna being called a “savage” at a panel discussion (after she said she had a “savage hunger” for her career), and a planned frat party with a “Perps and Crooks” theme.

While 72 percent of responding students voted “no confidence” in Rochon and 27 percent voted they have confidence in him, only 39 percent of students who received the poll – 2,695 out of 6,907 – have expressed a desire for Rochon’s resignation.
