Title IX expert explains reporting process amid Cornell rape investigation
Rachel Laubis, a Title IX adviser, joins "The Daily Report" to explain the sexual assault reporting process and what Cornell University's responsibilities were in the Jane Doe case.
A Title IX adviser, Rachel Laubis, has discussed the sexual assault reporting process and Cornell University's responsibilities in a recent case. The case involves a former Cornell student who alleges she was gang raped at the Chi Phi house after being coerced into consuming drugs.
The New York State Governor, Kathy Hochul, has vowed to close a loophole in the state's rape law related to voluntary intoxication. According to POLITICO, under current law, it is difficult to prove sexual assault if a victim has voluntarily consumed alcohol or drugs.
Governor Hochul has appointed New York Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor in the case, and Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff has agreed to an independent review.
