La policía de Cornell abre investigación por presunto encubrimiento tras acusación de violación

El 7 de octubre la policía de la Universidad Cornell anunció que estaba investigando un presunto encubrimiento por parte de miembros de la fraternidad Chi Phi después de que una estudiante informara que se reunieron para coordinar su respuesta a una supuesta violación facilitada por drogas en una fiesta, según el New York Post. La acusación proviene de una demanda civil presentada por una ex-estudiante, identificada como Jane Doe, que alega haber sido drogada y violada en 2024; la demanda llevó al fiscal del condado de Tompkins, Matthew Van Houten, a reabrir la investigación penal, según CBS News y The Guardian.

Posteriormente, la gobernadora Kathy Hochul nombró a la fiscal general del estado, Letitia James, como fiscal especial, informó la BBC. En el campus se produjeron protestas, incluido un sit-in de siete horas y daños al edificio Day Hall, y el senado de la facultad presentó una resolución de no-confianza, informó NBC News.
