纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔宣布，鉴于一起校园强奸指控引发的争议，今后康奈尔大学的所有性犯罪投诉将不再由校内警察处理，而是直接由纽约州警方接手调查 1。这一决定源于学生“简·多”对康奈尔大学的诉讼，她指控校方未能保护其免受侵害或惩罚涉事者（被称为“康奈尔七人”） 1。该背景事件发生于2024年 1。
作为应对措施的一部分，州长已任命纽约总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯担任特别检察官，负责监督重启对该案的刑事调查，以评估是否需要提起正式指控 1。与此同时，康奈尔大学管理层正面临来自教职工参议院的巨大压力，后者决定对包括校长迈克尔·科特利科夫在内的行政当局发起不信任投票 1。这项不信任投票将于周五开放，持续至11月6日，虽然结果仅具象征意义，但可能进一步加剧领导层的更替压力 1。
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced an agreement with Cornell University transferring the investigation of all sexual offense complaints from campus police to the New York State Police. 1 This measure ensures that state law enforcement, rather than university authorities, will handle such cases immediately. 1 Additionally, Governor Hochul appointed New York Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor to oversee the reopening of a criminal investigation and determine whether charges should be brought. 1
The decision follows a controversial 2024 case involving allegations of gang rape by a student identified only as "Jane Doe," who sued Cornell for failing to protect her or punish the accused group known as the "Cornell Seven." 1 Amid growing backlash, the Cornell Faculty Senate decided to initiate a motion of no confidence against the university's administration, including President Michael Kotlikoff. 1 Although symbolic, the vote may intensify pressure for leadership changes; it opens on Friday and remains active until November 6. 1
