Sally Yates to Lead Independent Review of Cornell's Response to Sexual Assault Allegations

Sally Yates will lead an independent review of Cornell's handling of sexual misconduct allegations, including a case involving Jane Doe, who alleges she was drugged and gang raped in 2024.
The review will evaluate Cornell's policies on prevention, investigation, and response to sexual misconduct, as well as the role of campus police.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is also investigating the allegations, which have reignited discussions about the state's consent laws.
