Cornell brings in ex-Justice official Sally Yates to review school’s handling of sex assault claims
Sally Yates will examine Cornell’s sexual misconduct response, including investigations, student support and discipline, after protests over allegations involving a fraternity house.
- On Tuesday, Cornell trustees announced that former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates will lead an independent review of the university's sexual misconduct policies and procedures.
- This review follows widespread outrage regarding Cornell's response to allegations from Jane Doe, who reported being assaulted by multiple Chi Phi fraternity brothers in November 2024.
- Last month, Doe sued the university, the fraternity, and seven former students, drawing national attention to Cornell's disciplinary procedures, campus police response, and fraternity oversight.
- New York's attorney general is conducting a criminal investigation into the matter, while the state's governor previously demanded an independent review of Cornell's handling.
