Ithaca council passes moratorium on new Cornell event permits
Ithaca's Common Council voted 9-1 for a moratorium on new event permits for Cornell University, after a lawsuit by a former student who alleges she was drugged and gang-raped in 2024.
The Ithaca Common Council has passed a moratorium on new event permits for Cornell University. Fox News reports the vote was 9-1.
The mayor proposed the moratorium, CBS News reports. It follows a civil lawsuit filed last month by a former Cornell student. She alleges she was drugged and gang-raped in 2024.
Fox News says the council acted over Cornell's handling of the woman's allegations, which it describes as rape allegations against fraternity members. The woman is identified as Jane Doe.
The allegations are claims made in a civil suit. The reports do not say whether they have been tested in court.
