Cornell’s 7 case: this case is Mess.
Show notes
An alleged assault at a fraternity house in October 2024. Seven accused students. No criminal charges, until a lawsuit filed in September 2026 reopened the case.
Since then, New York's governor said she had lost faith in the local district attorney and named the state attorney general special prosecutor. Cornell agreed to an outside review led by former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates. The county moved to audit the district attorney's office. And Cornell's Faculty Senate resumes debate on a no-confidence resolution on Oct. 28.
This follow-up to our earlier Cornell 7 episode explains what is alleged, what the university says it did, what has not been decided, and what can happen next. None of the accused has been criminally charged, and the allegations have not been tested in a criminal trial.
