Cornell administration, campus police, and the local District Attorney are pointing fingers over who mishandled critical evidence in the ongoing Chi Phi rape case. University leadership maintains its disciplinary hearings remain entirely separate from criminal inquiries, which are handled by Cornell Police. CUPD claimed they handed over all investigatory material to local prosecutors. Tompkins County DA Matthew Van Houten directly contradicted that claim, stating on the record that his office never received the records and was never provided the material by Cornell. As all three parties scramble to pass the buck, students are once again left watching officials trade blame instead of delivering real transparency and accountability.
