Content overview: “Cornell University Suspends All Fraternity Parties Amid Sexual Assault Investigation”. Cornell University has indefinitely suspended all fraternity parties and social events following allegations of a gang sexual assault at an off-campus fraternity house, according to the university. The decision comes after a female student, identified in a federal lawsuit as Jane Doe, reported being drugged and raped by multiple men at a party in October. The lawsuit alleges that the university failed to properly investigate the incident and protect students from known risks.
Cornell president Martha Pollack announced the ban on all fraternity social activities, citing the need to address a 'systemic culture' of sexual violence. The move affects more than 30 recognized fraternities and has drawn both support and criticism from students and alumni. The university has also launched an independent review of its Greek life policies. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
