Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff called the alleged 2024 gang rape of a student at a fraternity house "deeply disturbing" and promised reforms, as the case sparked debate over New York's sexual-assault laws and the university's handling. Reports detail that Cornell expelled two men, suspended two, and gave three others lesser punishments, while a criminal investigation continues and the accuser's lawyer suggests more than seven men may have been involved.

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
