Exclusive: Cornell rape allegations fuel House Democratic women's Title IX push

A serious rape allegation at Cornell University has ignited renewed efforts by House Democratic women to bolster federal protections against sexual violence on campuses. This move comes amid a criminal investigation into a gang rape involving seven fraternity members. The Democratic Women's Caucus is urging bipartisan action to reinforce Title IX protections, concerned that recent changes to civil rights laws might leave students more vulnerable. This push underscores the urgent need for stronger safeguards to ensure campus safety and support for victims.
