The case follows a civil lawsuit by the accuser alleging drugging and assault at a fraternity party. Meanwhile, Netflix released a documentary on the case amid growing calls from faculty for Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff's resignation over the university's handling of sexual assault allegations.
