Prosecutors have reopened an investigation into allegations of a 2024 gang rape at a Cornell University fraternity.

This development comes after student journalists at Cornell have been actively reporting on the allegations, with some expressing frustration with the university's initial response. The reopening of the probe highlights ongoing concerns about sexual assault on college campuses and the processes for addressing such claims.
