Winston Lee ’27, a named defendant in a federal civil lawsuit alleging an October 2024 sexual assault at the Chi Phi fraternity house, remains listed as an active student in Cornell’s official directory. Multiple student reports and online rosters indicate he is physically attending classes this semester using the name “Jay Lee.” Day Hall claims its internal investigation concluded with expulsions and suspensions, but administrators refuse to clarify Lee’s individual status, hiding behind federal student-privacy laws. The university’s silence has sparked intense frustration and safety concerns among students who are left entirely in the dark. Lee has denied wrongdoing and previously told investigators the encounter was consensual. Meanwhile, the Tompkins County District Attorney has officially reopened the criminal investigation to present the case to a grand jury.
