> Cornell University has agreed to an independent investigation of its handling of a 2024 rape case. The complainant, identified as Jane Doe, alleges she was drugged and gang raped by seven men at a Cornell fraternity house. Prosecutors initially declined to bring charges, citing insufficient evidence and inconsistencies in her statements. The case resurfaced after she sued Cornell and the fraternity.
