'Too little, too late': Cornell students say the US university's fraternity party ban is scapegoating over alleged gang rape

Cornell's board of trustees appeared united this week, with no move to bring a no-confidence vote against president Michael Kotlikoff. Students gathered in protest outside the board meeting on Friday as homecoming weekend got under way.

Jane Doe's lawsuit names seven Chi Phi members, all of whom deny wrongdoing and have not faced criminal charges.

Within a day, an online bounty of $5,000 was offered for Jane Doe's name and photos.

A graduate called 'B' was suspended from his job after a viral TikTok wrongly listed him, though he graduated before the party.
