Cornell students accuse the US university of scapegoating fraternities with a party ban after an alleged gang-rape lawsuit

'Is this too little, too late?' students are asking after Cornell suspended fraternity parties for the rest of the academic year. President Michael Kotlikoff announced the ban on 13 October, saying a review would decide whether fraternity life 'can safely continue'. Critics say the move dodges the university's own culpability. Jane Doe alleges seven Chi Phi members assaulted her in October 2024; all deny it and none are charged.
Trump branded special prosecutor Letitia James 'totally corrupt' as she vowed a 'fair' probe.
More than 11,000 online accounts made almost 25,000 posts claiming to name Jane Doe.
