康奈尔大学暂停兄弟会派对一学年：2024年涉嫌轮奸诉讼发酵校长致歉、学生批「太少太迟」
伊萨卡——据《卫报》10 月 17 日报道，康奈尔大学本周宣布，在本学年剩余时间里暂停兄弟会会所内的派对与社交聚会。此前一个月，一名化名「简·多伊」（Jane Doe）的前学生在 9 月 14 日提起民事诉讼，指控 Chi Phi 兄弟会 7 名成员于 2024 年 10 月在该会会所的一场派对上对她实施性侵。诉状称，她当时醉酒、并被迫摄入氯胺酮，在数小时内遭多人强奸；诉状还描述了一个 Snapchat 群聊，涉案男性在其中以粗俗言辞谈论她。她同时起诉康奈尔大学等被告，指校方未能保护学生、对兄弟会活动监管不力。被点名的 7 人均否认有不当行为，无一人被刑事起诉。康奈尔表示，该校在 2024 年事发后已将 Chi Phi 分会逐出校园，并经第九条（Title IX）调查作出开除与停学等处分。
诉讼引发校园持续抗议。10 月 5 日，数千名学生与社区成员在何广场（Ho Plaza）举行「为幸存者讨公道」集会；10 月 7 日，学生在托妮·莫里森餐厅静坐 7 小时声援原告；伊萨卡市议会也通过了学生活动许可临时暂停令，主要影响希腊生活（兄弟会／姐妹会）组织。10 月 6 日，康奈尔聘请前代理司法部长萨莉 ·耶茨（Sally Yates）对校方政策作独立审查。
10 月 13 日，校长迈克尔·I·科特利科夫（Michael I. Kotlikoff）在致校园社区的声明中宣布：「康奈尔兄弟会理事会（IFC）会所内的所有派对与社交活动，在 2026–2027 学年剩余时间里全部暂停。这些措施将为全面审查康奈尔的兄弟会生活留出时间，以决定它能否、以及如何安全地继续下去。」他表示对违规「零容忍」，任何私自办派对的兄弟会将被立即紧急停会。科特利科夫写道：「我对简·多伊在 2024 年所受的伤害深感抱歉，并对这起性暴力事件发生在康奈尔社区内感到震惊。」「很明显，我们校园里的女性仍在质疑自己是否安全。」该校兄弟会理事会涵盖 20 多个在册兄弟会。
配套措施还包括：与纽约州警察局合作，引入受过创伤知情训练的调查人员处理校园性侵指控；为民权办公室增配人员、协助举报者走完校内程序；扩大旁观者干预培训；并请校外全国性专家研究性暴力的成因与预防。
学生对校方举措并不买账。据《卫报》报道，学生认为校方更在意找兄弟会当替罪羊，而非致力于制度改革，质疑此举「是否太少、太迟」。原告律师托马斯·朱弗拉（Thomas Giuffra）表示，诉讼旨在改善康奈尔应对侵害指控的方式，但校方的新措施来得太晚、已无法保护他的当事人；他说原告事后已离开康奈尔，并因起诉而受到威胁。
Cornell Suspends Fraternity Parties for the School Year After 2024 Alleged Gang-Rape Lawsuit; President Apologizes as Students Call Move "Too Little, Too Late"
Ithaca — Cornell University announced this week that it is suspending parties and social gatherings at fraternity houses for the remainder of the academic year, The Guardian reported on October 17. Last month, a former student, referred to in court documents by the pseudonym "Jane Doe," filed a civil lawsuit on September 14 accusing seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity of sexually assaulting her at a party at their fraternity house in October 2024. The complaint alleges she was heavily intoxicated and pressured into consuming ketamine before being raped by multiple men over several hours, and describes a Snapchat group chat in which the men discussed her in crude terms. She also sued Cornell and other defendants, alleging the university failed to protect her and inadequately oversaw fraternity activities. All seven men named have denied wrongdoing, and none has been criminally charged. Cornell says it barred the Chi Phi chapter from campus after the alleged 2024 incident and that a Title IX investigation resulted in expulsions and suspensions.
The lawsuit has fuelled sustained campus protest. On October 5, thousands of students and community members attended a "Justice for Survivors" rally on Ho Plaza; on October 7, students held a seven-hour sit-in at the Toni Morrison Dining Hall in solidarity with Doe, and the Ithaca Common Council also approved a temporary moratorium on student event permits, which mainly affects Greek Life organizations. On October 6, Cornell hired former acting attorney general Sally Yates to conduct an independent review of its policies.
On October 13, President Michael I. Kotlikoff announced in a statement: "All parties and social events in Interfraternity Council (IFC) houses at Cornell will be suspended for the remainder of the 2026-2027 academic year. These measures will provide time for a thorough review of fraternity life at Cornell to determine whether and how it can safely continue." He warned of "zero tolerance" for violations, with any fraternity holding an in-house party facing an immediate emergency suspension. "I am deeply sorry for the harm Jane Doe suffered in 2024, and appalled that this act of sexual violence occurred within our Cornell community," Kotlikoff wrote. "It is clear that women on our campus continue to question whether they are safe." Cornell's Interfraternity Council represents more than 20 active fraternities.
The accompanying measures include working with the New York State Police to let trauma-informed investigators handle sexual assault allegations on campus, adding staff to the university's Office of Civil Rights to help students who report assault navigate procedures, expanded bystander training, and bringing in outside national experts on sexual violence prevention.
Students have reacted sceptically. According to The Guardian, students say the school is more interested in scapegoating fraternities than in committing to institutional change, asking whether the response is "too little, too late." Doe's lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, said the suit aimed to improve how Cornell responds to abuse claims, but that the new steps come too late to protect his client; he said she left the university afterwards and has faced threats since suing.
