Cornell students hold sit-in over school's response to alleged gang rape

Students at Cornell University are staging a seven-hour sit-in protest over concerns that campus leadership mishandled an investigation into an alleged gang rape in 2024.

As of around 3 p.m. Wednesday, roughly 80 students gathered inside a campus dining hall for the “Zero Day” protest, vowing not to spend any money at the institution, and bearing posters demanding “Justice for Jane Doe,” the anonymous woman who has accused seven Chi Phi fraternity members of raping her in October 2024.
