Woman says she 'couldn't speak or breathe' during alleged rape by Russell Brand
Jane Doe says a January 2025 remark from Michael Kotlikoff left her feeling disbelieved as Cornell faculty weigh a rare no-confidence vote.
- On Tuesday, Jane Doe sent a letter to the Cornell Faculty Senate recounting a second-hand claim that Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff questioned her delay in reporting an alleged sexual assault, leaving her feeling "unsupported and disbelieved."
- This letter emerges as faculty members consider a no-confidence vote in university leadership following Doe's lawsuit, which accuses seven students of raping her at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024.
- According to her secondhand account, the president of her sorority told her that Kotlikoff had questioned Doe's delay in reporting the alleged assault, which the sorority leader interpreted as casting doubt on her story.
- Kotlikoff did not immediately respond Tuesday to an email inquiry about Doe's letter, while faculty members began debating the resolution at a meeting last Wednesday where he faced pointed questions about the university's response to sexual assault allegations.
- The Faculty Senate is expected to resume debate on October 28 before holding an electronic vote on the no-confidence resolution, determining whether university leadership will face formal censure.
