Summary

Hundreds of Cornell University students protested the university's handling of allegations that seven Chi Phi fraternity members gang raped a student identified as Jane Doe in October 2024. Protesters called for the resignation of President Michael Kotlikoff, expulsion of accused students, and an independent review of the university's response. Reports state that vandalism occurred at the administration building, including red spray paint and a broken glass door. Cornell University Police Department officers observed the vandalism. However, Cornell spokesperson Kyle Kimball denied that the vandalism took place. The alleged victim filed a civil lawsuit against the fraternity members, the fraternity, the university, and others. The local district attorney declined to bring criminal charges, but New York Governor Kathy Hochul appointed the state's attorney general as a special prosecutor to reopen the investigation. Cornell appointed former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to lead an independent review of the university's sexual misconduct policies. Faculty members are preparing a no-confidence vote against the administration.
