Cornell officials pressed by faculty as outrage mounts over alleged gang rape

Professors and staff at Cornell University grilled administration officials Tuesday as outrage builds over the alleged gang rape of a former student at a fraternity house in 2024, with questions raised about how the school and law enforcement responded. University officials confirmed two students named in a civil lawsuit filed last month by the woman are still enrolled and attending classes, according to a recording of a virtual webinar obtained by CNN. Some faculty members said they are struggling to teach classes the accused students are in and raised questions about how to accommodate them and other students. They also pressed for answers about transparency and a perceived lack of communication over the case, and how to address cultural issues with Greek life on campus.
