New York state prosecutors have reopened an investigation into an alleged rape incident involving a Cornell University student, Jane Doe, who claims she was drugged and assaulted by seven men from the Chi Phi fraternity in October 2024. The lawsuit filed by Doe alleges that Cornell failed to protect her and did not adequately punish the men involved. The university has stated it supports presenting the case to a grand jury while denying claims of inadequate punishment. The incident reportedly involved alcohol and the drug ketamine, with Doe asserting she was unable to consent due to intoxication. The university's Title IX investigation led to some disciplinary actions, including expulsions and suspensions. The case has drawn attention to the challenges victims face when reporting sexual assaults on campus.
