Students Protest Cornell’s Response To Alleged Assault

ITHACA, New York (AP) — Cornell students and others are thronging a campus plaza to protest the university’s response to allegations of sexual assault at a fraternity house. Students arrived at the demonstration wearing purple ribbons on sweaters, shirts and jackets and holdings signs with such messages as “support survivors, expel rapists.” The Ivy League school has been trying to quell a firestorm — on campus and beyond — over its handling of the alleged 2024 gang rape. The school’s main administration building was splashed with graffiti and damaged overnight.
