Students Turn on Cornell's President over the School's Handling of Gang Rape Allegations
About 1,000 people joined the campus march as organizers pressed for expulsions, mandatory sanctions and an external review of Cornell's sexual assault response.
- On Monday, about 1,000 students and faculty marched to Day Hall at Cornell University, demanding accountability for the institution's handling of sexual assault allegations and calling for President Michael Kotlikoff's resignation.
- The demonstration followed a civil lawsuit filed last month alleging Jane Doe was drugged and assaulted by seven Chi Phi fraternity members during a 2024 house party at the fraternity house.
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul designated State Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor last Thursday, citing a loss of faith in the initial investigation by local prosecutors and ensuring the matter would be handled "without conflict or bias."
- President Michael Kotlikoff called the situation a "defining moment in Cornell's history" in a video statement released Saturday, pledging transparency and reaffirming support for an independent review of the university's response.
- Faculty members signaled plans for a "no-confidence" vote on campus administrators, with the faculty senate resolution stating it lacks confidence in the central administration's ability to effectively address the ongoing sexual assault crisis.
