Cornell student who reported a gang rape says in a letter she doesn't feel 'believed' by the university

Jane Doe, a former Cornell University student, has spoken out about her alleged gang rape by seven men from the Chi Phi fraternity in October 2024. In a letter to the university's faculty, obtained by The New York Times, she claims that university president Michael Kotlikoff did not support or believe her when she first reported the incident.

Doe filed a lawsuit against Cornell University and the seven students in mid-September, accusing the university of negligence in handling her case. The seven alleged perpetrators have denied the allegations and none have been charged with a crime.
