Light punishments for Cornell fraternity members spark outrage
Original: Of the seven # fraternity members accused of raping Jane Doe at a # CornellUniversity # fraternity house, two were expel
Seven Cornell University fraternity members accused of drugging and raping an incapacitated woman, referred to as Jane Doe, at a fraternity house received widely differing sanctions: two were expelled, two suspended, and three given lesser punishments. Commenters are calling the disciplinary outcomes unacceptable given the severity of the allegations and questioning how universities handle sexual assault cases.
Why now: The disparity between the severe allegations and the comparatively light punishments is fueling anger and debate over campus sexual assault accountability.
