Cornell Rape Allegations Prompt Investigation and Faculty Vote of No Confidence
A woman identified as Jane Doe has accused several Cornell University students of raping her at a fraternity party in October 2024. She alleges that Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff questioned why she delayed reporting the assault, which made her feel unsupported and disbelieved. The allegations have led to campus protests, renewed scrutiny of the university's disciplinary system, and the reopening of a criminal investigation. Faculty members are considering a vote of no confidence in the university's leadership over its handling of sexual assault cases.
