  "summary": "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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nGovernor 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.",
