Cornell Suspends Fraternity Parties Amid Sexual Assault Investigation

headtopics · united states of america · north america

Cornell University announced a comprehensive suspension of parties and social events at all Interfraternity Council houses for the remainder of the academic year and will allow New York State Police to investigate sexual assault allegations independently. The university also introduced a zero‑tolerance policy for violations and added a case manager to its Office of Civil Rights to support survivors. The measures follow mounting criticism of the university's handling of a 2024 incident involving a female student believed to have been sexually assaulted at a fraternity house.
