Jane Doe, who filed a civil suit against seven former members of the Chi Phi fraternity for drug‑assisted sexual assault in October 2024, sent a letter to Cornell’s faculty senate detailing a second‑hand account of President Michael Kotlikoff’s reaction to her complaint. Doe said the sorority president relayed that Kotlikoff had questioned why she waited to report the incident, implying doubt in her story. Cornell denied this characterization, stating Kotlikoff’s question in a January 2025 meeting was aimed at bystanders who had not reported the allegations. The letter arrives amid growing faculty scrutiny and a potential no‑confidence vote in the administration, as the university hires former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates to conduct an independent review of its handling of the allegations.
