Cornell suspends frat parties after alleged gang rape

Cornell University has suspended all fraternity parties and social events for the remainder of the academic year. This decision follows an alleged gang rape incident at a campus fraternity, Chi Phi, which was detailed in a lawsuit filed last month. The lawsuit claims the accuser was pressured to take ketamine and subsequently assaulted and raped by seven fraternity members. The university's action comes amid accusations that it has not adequately addressed the incident or punished those involved. The suspension impacts fraternities at the New York-based Ivy League institution.
