The 2024 case was reopened by the DA even as the former student sued the school and seven Chi Phi fraternity members. Two Cornell University students were expelled after seven were accused of drugging and gangraping a former student.
The news of the two Cornell University students being expelled was reported by CBS News. However, their names have not been made public yet. At the same time, the university noted that the Xi chapter of Chi Phi fraternity remained barred from the campus.
The university gave a reason for this in a statement issued about the 2024 case of alleged gangrape. “Federal privacy law prohibits Cornell from disclosing specific information regarding individual students and we therefore are unable to make a public statement on any other disciplinary response.
Violations of university policies could lead to sanctions up to and including suspension or expulsion.,” they said. Meanwhile, the Cornell statement said “The Cornell Office of Civil Rights and the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards investigated and adjudicated the allegations consistent with university policies.”
