Cornell University announced Tuesday that it is suspending all parties and social events at fraternity houses through the end of the academic year. Coverage links the move to a lawsuit by a woman identified as Jane Doe, who alleges a 2024 gang rape at the Chi Phi house. One outlet reports the school will also add trained sexual assault investigators to its police staff, and another says it has faced an uproar over its handling of the allegations. A separate report says an attorney for one accused man, Diego Sarabia, asked a judge to limit public comments, arguing media statements could prejudice potential jurors.
