Cornell Hires Former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates for Independent Review of Rape Allegation Handling
Cornell University's Board of Trustees has appointed former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to lead an independent review of the school's handling of sexual misconduct allegations, including its investigation and disciplinary procedures and campus police response. The move follows criticism over Cornell's response to a former student's claim that she was assaulted by multiple Chi Phi fraternity members in October 2024.
