The scandal engulfing Cornell University over a woman’s allegations that she was gang-raped at a fraternity house has caused some prospective students to shun the Ivy League school, college advisers warned.
A former student identified as Jane Doe sued Cornell and seven male fraternity members, alleging that she was drugged and sexually assaulted for hours in October 2024 at the Chi Phi fraternity house in Ithaca, New York. No arrests have been made in connection to the case, and the local district attorney has said he is reopening the case in light of the civil suit.
