> A former Cornell student says President Michael Kotlikoff questioned why she waited weeks to report an alleged gang rape. Cornell disputes her account, saying his question was directed at bystanders present at the time. Faculty are due to vote on a no-confidence motion in his leadership on October 28. Seven former fraternity members named in her lawsuit deny wrongdoing, and no one has been criminally charged.
