  "summary": "Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff has admitted that he was unaware of the outcomes of a gang rape allegation against students at the Chi Phi fraternity house in 2024, leading up to a no-confidence debate against his administration. In an interview with The New York Times, Kotlikoff revealed that he did not follow up on the case, despite acknowledging the \"deeply disturbing\" allegations involving drug use and sexual violence. The incident has drawn significant attention and prompted the establishment of a presidential task force to investigate the university's handling of sexual assault cases.",
