Cornell Bans Fraternity Parties Following Sexual Assault Allegations
Cornell University has announced a complete ban on all parties at fraternity houses for the remainder of the academic year. The decision comes amid intense public backlash and criticism regarding how the institution handled allegations of a gang sexual assault that occurred in 2024. The survivor, identified in legal filings as Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit last month alleging she was drugged and assaulted by multiple men at a campus fraternity event. The university's leadership is now facing faculty scrutiny and a potential vote of no confidence as the campus community grapples with safety concerns.
