New York Governor Kathy Hochul is demanding an investigation into how Cornell University responded to a gang rape, calling the school's handling of the assault "appalling." The Ithaca mayor has joined Hochul in criticizing the university's approach, with the governor specifically raising questions about whether Cornell's procedures adequately protected the student or held perpetrators accountable. The case has drawn scrutiny beyond campus as state officials weigh whether the institution's internal response met legal and ethical standards.
