Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff said the suspension "will provide time for a thorough review of fraternity life at Cornell to determine whether and how it can safely continue".

Cornell University will ban parties and social events at fraternity houses until the end of the academic year, its president has said, responding to the outcry over an alleged gang rape on campus in 2024.

Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff acknowledged he never followed up on a student’s report of being gang raped at a fraternity house in 2024.
