“The culture of rape, sexual assault, and pedophilia is protected in elite institutions across the United States — including Cornell University in this instance.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opened her Ithaca town hall by addressing the Chi Phi lawsuit, which alleges seven current and former Cornell students sexually assaulted and gang-raped a former student at the fraternity house in 2024. The allegations remain the subject of ongoing civil litigation. #Cornell #CornellUniversity #AOC #Ithaca #ChiPhi
