Cornell University bans frat parties, vows to address 'disturbing' campus culture

Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff has banned all fraternity parties for the remainder of the year. This decision follows a Jane Doe lawsuit alleging that a student was gang raped by seven men at the Chi Phi house in 2024. In a formal letter, the president apologized for the incident and vowed to take meaningful action to address the disturbing campus culture, aiming to resolve the issues highlighted by the sex abuse allegations and the subsequent legal action.
