Cornell's main administration building was vandalized overnight, with graffiti and a broken glass door, as student groups prepared to protest the university's handling of a 2024 fraternity-house gang rape case. Red-painted messages on the building's walls condemned patriarchy and the school's approach to sexual assaults. Cornell spokesperson Kyle Kimball stated that the university was investigating the incident and that "damaging property is not the answer" to the campus' "frustration and strong emotions".
Campus police directed questions to Kimball's office. A group of student organizations planned a "Justice for Survivors" demonstration later in the day to demand changes in the university's process for handling sexual assault complaints and stiffer penalties for the perpetrators.
