Summary

Hundreds of Cornell University students and faculty protested the university's handling of allegations that seven Chi Phi fraternity members gang raped a student identified as Jane Doe in October 2024. During protests beginning October 5-6, 2026, vandals spray-painted messages on Cornell's main administration building and broke a glass door. Cornell University Police Department officers observed the vandalism. The university is investigating the incident. Protesters demanded the resignation of President Michael Kotlikoff, expulsion of accused students, an independent review of the university's sexual misconduct policies, and changes to disciplinary procedures. Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit against the fraternity members, the Chi Phi chapter, the university, an Ithaca bar, and others. The local district attorney initially declined to bring criminal charges, but New York Governor Kathy Hochul appointed the state's attorney general as special prosecutor to reopen the criminal investigation. Cornell appointed former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to lead an independent review. Faculty members prepared for a no-confidence vote against the administration.
