On Monday, over 1,000 protesters gathered on Cornell University’s campus in Ithaca, New York, calling for the resignation of President Michael Kotlikoff and demanding action regarding allegations of gang rape at a fraternity. Protesters carried signs such as “We are all Jane Doe” and chanted slogans like “F–k Kotlikoff! Justice for Jane Doe.” They demanded that Cornell’s fraternities be removed from campus, accused brothers have their diplomas revoked or expelled, and called for an external investigation of the university’s handling of sexual assault cases.

Story summary
On October 5, 1,000 Cornell University students in Ithaca, New York, staged a protest demanding stronger actions against sexual violence on campus following allegations of gang rape at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024.

The alleged victim, known as Jane Doe, filed a lawsuit naming seven Chi Phi members and others involved, accusing them of drugging and sexually assaulting her while incapacitated. Demonstrators also pushed for stricter sexual assault policies and the expulsion of fraternities from campus.
