He also vowed more transparency from Cornell, despite saying that there were  real legal and privacy limits on what we can say  about the case.

New York's voluntary intoxication loophole

The backstory:

Kotlikoff said Cornell University would support efforts to change New York's sexual assault laws, which have similarly drawn scrutiny in this case.

Part of the controversy in this case surrounds New York state law regarding sexual assault and consent.

In Jane Doe's lawsuit, the former student says she was pressured into snorting ketamine and drinking alcohol, and therefore couldn't consent to sex. The Tompkins County District Attorney initially declined to bring criminal charges in the case, saying that Jane Doe was voluntarily intoxicated, and therefore, under the law, could consent.

The investigation has since been reopened, and the district attorney stated the case will be presented to a grand jury.

Independent investigation

What's next:

Kotlikoff said that Cornell's Board of Trustees will announce more details about an outside law firm's independent review into the case.
