It came to the fore with allegations of mass sexual assault! 'Banned until the end of the year'

According to ABC News, Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff announced measures to increase campus security at the university, where protests were held following allegations of mass sexual assault.

'IT WILL NOT BE DONE UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR'

Following allegations of a mass sexual assault in a student house belonging to the university in 2024, Kotlikoff announced that parties and social events held in student houses within the university will not be held until the end of the year.

The announcement comes at a time when faculty members are considering a vote of no confidence in the university administration, which has been criticized for its handling of mass sexual assault allegations.

Hundreds of students and academics gathered on the central campus to react to the university administration's approach to the gang rape allegations and demanded the resignation of Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In the documents of the case filed in September, it was stated that in 2024, a 20-year-old female student, identified as "Jane Doe" because she did not want her identity to be disclosed for security reasons, was forcibly given ketamine in a student house belonging to Cornell University, and the girl, who lost consciousness, was raped by 7 male students.

At that time, Cornell University administration reported its investigation into the incident to the District Attorney's Office, but the Prosecutor's Office did not file a lawsuit regarding the issue due to insufficient evidence.

In her statement on October 2, New York Governor Kathy Hochul stated that Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten, who oversees the region where the incident took place, "lost faith in his ability to conduct a fair audit" and appointed New York Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor to deal with this issue.
