rutiny of a New York law that makes it difficult to prosecute sexual assaults involving people who voluntarily consume alcohol or drugs, even if they became too intoxicated to consent.

Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten cited the law in defending his initial decision not to pursue charges, saying the woman's original statement to police described voluntary drug use and sexual activity.

Critics have long sought to close what they call the  voluntary intoxication loophole,  which distinguishes between people incapacitated by drugs administered without their consent and those who voluntarily became intoxicated. Hochul has pledged to push for changes to the law.

Kotlikoff also called for a  serious look at the role of fraternities and sororities in campus life.  He acknowledged that while Greek life on campus can provide students with friendship, mentorship and a sense of belonging, sororities and fraternities must also foster a culture of individual responsibility and accountability.

 Being part of a group can never diminish individual responsibility for our own actions, for how we treat others or for speaking up when someone may be at risk,  he said.

He said Cornell will engage students, alumni and other members of the community to examine how to preserve  what is valuable about Greek life  while strengthening accountability, transparency and a culture of safety and responsibility.

Hochul, asked at a news conference Friday whether she believed Kotlikoff should resign over the university's handling of the case, declined to take a position, saying she did not yet have enough information.
