New York Gov. Hochul pushes for investigation into Cornell's handling of a 2024 gang rape allegation
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has called for an investigation into Cornell University's handling of a 2024 gang rape allegation. A woman claims she was sexually assaulted by seven students at the Chi Phi fraternity house after being given alcohol and drugs. Her lawsuit has drawn national attention. Hochul said Tuesday she supports the decision by Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten to reopen the investigation, but has questions about Cornell's response and prevention systems. The university says it conducted its own investigation and issued sanctions. The Chi Phi chapter was closed in 2024 and remains barred from campus.
