Story summary

In October 2024, Cornell University faced severe criticism when a lawsuit alleged that seven fraternity members gang-raped a female student at the Chi Phi fraternity house. The incident sparked outrage among students, parents, faculty, and alumni during a public hearing held on campus. Around 100 people attended, including some who shared their own sexual assault experiences. A junior named Jane Wang came forward to say she had also reported an assault but was dissatisfied with the university’s Title IX process. The school defended its actions, stating it conducted a thorough investigation and imposed disciplinary measures on those involved. However, critics argue that the handling of the case lacked transparency and support for survivors.
