Cornell responds to Jane Doe’s letter saying she felt ‘unsupported’ by university president
Cornell says the student’s account of Kotlikoff’s remarks is incorrect as faculty members consider a no-confidence resolution over his leadership.
- Jane Doe sent a letter to Cornell's Faculty Senate earlier this month, stating she felt "unsupported and disbelieved" by Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff after reporting her alleged 2024 sexual assault.
- The letter emerged as faculty members weigh a no-confidence vote in Kotlikoff's administration, following a civil lawsuit Doe filed last month against the university and the Chi Phi fraternity.
- Doe's letter recounts a "second-hand account" of a conversation where Kotlikoff allegedly asked why the assault wasn't reported sooner, which she interpreted as doubting her story's veracity.
- Cornell officials disputed the letter's characterization, stating the remark was directed at bystanders who ignored an anonymous tip line, not at Doe, according to a documented first-hand account.
- Dean Chris Schaffer confirmed he received the letter on October 14 and forwarded it to an investigatory team led by former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.
