  "summary": "Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff has vowed to conduct an external review of the university following an alleged gang rape incident involving a student in 2024. The incident, detailed in a lawsuit filed last month, has sparked widespread outrage and criticism against the Ivy League institution and New York prosecutors for failing to charge the accused perpetrators. President Kotlikoff, in a video statement on the university's website, welcomed an independent review by an outside law firm to examine all aspects of the university's handling of the matter. The plaintiff, who identified herself as Jane Doe, claimed she was drugged with ketamine, assaulted, and raped by seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity, a male social club at Cornell. The president acknowledged that the incident has been one of the most challenging weeks in the university's history, expressing empathy for the community's anger, sadness, and struggle. He emphasized that the alleged crime has left a deep impact on the community, which will weigh heavily on them for years to come.",
