Diane “Betsy” Cornwell had been accused of emotional abuse and sexual misconduct.
Diane “Betsy” Cornwell, the longtime Austin theater teacher at the center of state and federal lawsuits filed by former students, reportedly died this month of natural causes. The instructor’s death coincided with the start of classes for the Austin Independent School District, one year after she left the classroom amid allegations of misconduct.
Cornwell had led the Bowie theater department—known as the “Starlight Theater Company”—since the school opened in 1988. In 2022, the school district announced that a new fine arts building on the campus would be named after Cornwell, whose name was “synonymous with the program,” according to a supportive resolution from the campus advisory council. The theater program was renowned across the state, and students were even invited to perform internationally more than once during Cornwell’s tenure.
