Alumni are threatening to pull funding, celebrities are lashing out and people are boycotting institutions associated with Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., after an alleged gang rape ignited the internet. The case came into the spotlight after the victim, known in court documents as Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit on Sept. 16, alleging the private Ivy League university protected the seven men, now dubbed "the Cornell 7." She alleges they drugged and assaulted her over several hours at a frat house in October 2024.
