米歇尔·科特尔：本周，我们将讨论中期选举，如今距离投票日只剩一个月。但首先，我觉得我们需要谈谈康奈尔大学强奸案调查。这件事本周引起了全国关注，起因是一名前学生起诉该大学以及Chi Phi兄弟会的七名成员。在诉状中，这名女子以“简·多伊”的身份出现。她称，兄弟会成员于2024年10月给她下药并强奸了她。根据相关法律文件，在初步调查后，该大学只开除了两名被控学生，地方检察官也拒绝提起诉讼。
Michelle Cottle: This week, we are going to talk about the midterms, which are now just a month out. But first, I feel like we need to discuss the Cornell rape investigation, which captured national attention this week, after a former student filed a lawsuit against the university and seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity. The woman, who is identified as Jane Doe in the filings, says that frat members drugged and raped her in October of 2024. According to the legal filings, after the initial investigation, the university expelled only two of the accused students, and the local district attorney declined to prosecute.
接下来，请允许我介绍两位才华横益的同事——专栏作家贾梅尔·布伊和戴维·弗伦奇，与我一起讨论这些以及更多话题。两位，很高兴再次见到你们。贾梅尔·布伊：我也很高兴见到大家。戴维·弗伦奇：你好，米歇尔。
So for all this and more, I am joined by my brilliant colleagues, columnists Jamelle Bouie and David French. Guys, good to see you, as always. Jamelle Bouie: Good to see you all as well. David French: Hi, Michelle.
科特尔：在我们深入探讨这起可怕案件的细节以及其中涉及的法律问题之前，我一直在想，为什么这个故事会如此触动人心。我的意思是，显然，这些指控极其可怕——简直令人发指——而且事情发生在一所精英机构，家长们总是想方设法让自己的孩子进入这样的学校。但我也在想，或许还有一个原因是，如今#MeToo运动在网络上引发轰动已近十年，而有些时候，我们感觉取得的进展微乎其微。那么，贾梅尔，这起案件最触动你的是什么？它与我们当下所处的文化时代有何关联？
Cottle: Before we get into the details of this horrible case and the legal issues that are at play, I was thinking about why this story struck such a nerve. I mean, obviously, the allegations are terrible — just horrific — and it took place at an elite institution, one that parents are always fighting to get their kids into. But I’m wondering if maybe there’s also something to the fact that we are now almost a decade past the #MeToo viral movement, and some days, it feels as though vanishingly little progress was made. So Jamelle, what struck you about this case and how it fits into our cultural moment?
