Alleged Cornell Gang Rape
School Expelled 2, Suspended 2, Banned Alum
… Gave Reflection Papers to Others
Published
The punishments that Cornell University gave to the 7 Chi Phi frat brothers accused of gang rape ranged from immediate expulsion … to writing a self-reflection essay.
A three-member Title IX panel conducted closed proceedings with the accused over Zoom for nearly two weeks before punishments were doled out … the New York Times reported.
The harshest punishments were reserved for Matthew Ingalls and Jonathan Newell — who were both expelled.
The panel felt that Ingalls had manipulated Jane Doe for the entertainment of others.
As for Diego Sarabia — who had already graduated — he was barred from campus.
Winston Lee and Gillio Lopes were suspended for 2 years and 3 semesters, respectively.
Both were given a no-contact order with Jane Doe and ordered to complete a sexual harassment educational course and write a reflection paper.
Lee will also serve several semesters of disciplinary probation once his suspension is over … and Lopes was given 2 years of probation.
The lightest punishments went to Scott Kretzschmar and Scott Norris — who in addition to a no-contact order, had to complete educational courses on sexual harassment, social media use, and bystander intervention … and write a reflection essay.
We reported earlier … Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff praised the school’s sexual assault task force for bringing “substantial changes in education, prevention, and support.”
