Cornell University students shared emotional testimony about sexual assault at a town hall Thursday, as a civil lawsuit alleging that a woman was gang-raped on campus thrust the Ivy League school into the national spotlight.
Around 100 students, family members and faculty filled an auditorium on the Ithaca campus for the public forum. Speakers criticized the university’s leadership, called for changes in its handling of complaints, voiced anger over fraternity culture, and recounted their own painful experiences with sexual violence.
