纽约州肯纳卡--康奈尔大学的主要行政大楼被涂鸦,一扇玻璃门在一夜之间被打破,学生团体计划周一就该大学对涉嫌2024年兄弟会宿舍轮奸案的处理方式举行抗议活动,该事件在校园内外引发了一场愤怒风暴。行政大厅的一扇玻璃门被撞破,新闻媒体照片显示,他们旁边的墙壁上贴着红色的标语,谴责父权制和常春藤盟校对性侵犯的处理。

ITHACA, New York — Cornell’s main administration building was splashed with graffiti and a glass door was broken overnight as student groups planned a protest Monday over the university’s handling of the alleged 2024 fraternity-house gang rape that has ignited a firestorm of anger on campus and beyond Holes were knocked into one of the administration hall’s glass doors, and the walls beside them were marked with red-painted messages condemning patriarchy and the Ivy League school’s handling of sexual assaults, news media photos showed.

康奈尔大学发言人凯尔·金博尔(Kyle Kimball)在一份声明中表示,该大学正在进行调查,“破坏财产并不是解决康奈尔大学“挫败感和强烈情绪”的办法”。一条寻求有关该事件进一步细节的信息已发送给金博尔;校园警察将问题转交给他的办公室。

Cornell spokesperson Kyle Kimball said in a statement that the university was investigating and that “damaging property is not the answer” to Cornellians’ “frustration and strong emotions.”A message seeking further details on the incident was sent to Kimball; campus police referred questions to his office.

与此同时,一批学生组织计划在下午晚些时候举行“为幸存者伸张正义”示威活动,以推动大学处理性侵犯投诉的流程的改变,并实施更多与2024年10月在Chi Phi兄弟会举行的派对相关的惩罚。

Meanwhile, a roster of student organizations planned a late-afternoon “Justice for Survivors” demonstration to push for changes in the university’s process for handling sexual assault complaints and for more punishments connected to the one that followed a party at the Chi Phi fraternity in October 2024.

一名当时的大二学生声称,她在被迫饮酒和吸毒后遭到多名男子的性侵犯。

A then-sophomore alleges that she was sexually assaulted there by multiple men after being pressured into drinking and taking drugs.

法庭文件中称这名女子为无名氏,她最近起诉了该大学、七名前学生、兄弟会和其他人。她的诉讼称,由于兄弟会成员袭击她,她完全丧失了行为能力,一名男子向其他人发送了一条邀请他们参与的信息。

The woman, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, recently sued the university, seven former students, the fraternity and others. Her lawsuit said that she became fully incapacitated as fraternity members assaulted her, and that one man sent others a message inviting them to participate.

两名前学生的律师否认他们参与了性侵犯。美联社试图联系其他男子或他们的代表,但没有成功。法庭记录显示,一些被指控的学生在接受康奈尔大学调查人员采访时称,这种性行为是双方自愿的。

Lawyers for two of the former students denied they participated in a sexual assault. Attempts by The Associated Press to reach the other men or their representatives have been unsuccessful. Court records show that some of the accused students, when interviewed by Cornell investigators, described the sexual activity as consensual.

这起诉讼引起了全国对康奈尔大学、其警察部队和当地地区检察官的关注,因为她在2024年11月告诉校园警察,她“可以百分百确信地说我被强奸了”。

The suit has drawn national attention to what Cornell, its police force and the local district attorney did after she told the campus police in November 2024 she “can say with 100% confidence I was raped.”

尚未提出刑事指控。康奈尔大学的智斐分会被关闭,这所常春藤盟校表示,它开除了一些学生,并暂停了其他学生的学业。在上周的一份声明中,政府对“本案后果极小的虚假叙述”感到愤怒。然而,学生们要求加强问责制和透明度,纽约州州长凯西·霍赫尔(Kathy Hochul)表示,无名氏“被康奈尔警方和当地地区检察官马修·范·豪顿(Matthew Van Houten)等个人和机构辜负了。”

No criminal charges have been filed. The Chi Phi chapter at Cornell was shut down, and the Ivy League university has said it expelled some students and suspended others. In a statement last week, the administration bristled about the “false narrative that there were minimal consequences in this case.”Students, however, have demanded more accountability and transparency and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has said Jane Doe was “failed by people and institutions” including the Cornell police and local District Attorney Matthew Van Houten.

霍赫尔上周任命州总检察长接管范豪顿几天前重新启动的刑事调查,州长呼吁对康奈尔大学对此事的处理方式进行独立审查。

Hochul appointed the state attorney general last week to take over a criminal investigation that Van Houten had reopened days earlier, and the governor called for an independent review of Cornell’s handling of the matter.

经过本周的事态发展,康奈尔大学校长迈克尔·科特利科夫周六发布了一段道歉视频,称无名氏的叙述“提出了有关性侵犯、非人化以及政党文化、酒精和吸毒等方面的令人心碎和令人不安的问题”。

After the week’s developments, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff released an apologetic video Saturday, saying that Jane Doe’s account “raises heartbreaking and troubling issues about sexual assault, dehumanization and aspects of party culture, alcohol and drug use.”

科特利科夫重申他支持对大学的行动进行独立审查,并发誓要提高透明度,并致力于“找到我们社区应得的答案”。

Kotlikoff reaffirmed his support for an independent review of the university’s actions and vowed more transparency and a commitment to “finding the answers our community deserves.”
