s police in November 2024 she  can say with 100% confidence I was raped. 

No criminal charges have been filed. The Chi Phi chapter at Cornell was shut down, and the Ivy League university has said it expelled some students and suspended others. In a statement last week, the administration bristled at what it called the  false narrative that there were minimal consequences in this case. 

Students, however, have demanded more accountability and transparency, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has said Jane Doe was  failed by people and institutions  including the Cornell police and local District Attorney Matthew Van Houten.

Hochul appointed the state attorney general last week to take over a criminal investigation that Van Houten had reopened days earlier, and the governor called for an independent review of Cornell's handling of the matter.

After the week's developments, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff released an apologetic video Saturday, saying that Jane Doe's account  raises heartbreaking and troubling issues about sexual assault, dehumanization and aspects of party culture, alcohol and drug use. 

Kotlikoff reaffirmed his support for an independent review of the university's actions and vowed more transparency and a commitment to  finding the answers our community deserves.
