Summary

Hundreds of students and faculty gathered at Cornell University on October 6, 2026, for a "Justice for Survivors" rally demanding the resignation of President Michael Kotlikoff and systemic changes to the university's handling of sexual assault cases. The protest was organized by over 20 student organizations in response to a civil lawsuit filed by a former student known as "Jane Doe" against seven current and former Chi Phi fraternity members, alleging they drugged and raped her in October 2024. Jane Doe reported the incident to Cornell police in November 2024. The Faculty Senate prepared a no-confidence vote against the administration. During the protests, Cornell's main administration building was vandalized with graffiti and a glass door was broken. Cornell spokesperson Kyle Kimball stated the university was investigating the property damage. The accused fraternity members have denied wrongdoing, and Cornell University has denied mishandling the case. The New York Attorney General's office is conducting an active criminal investigation, and the university appointed former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to lead an independent review of its sexual misconduct policies.
