Cornell president calls gang rape allegations 'deeply disturbing'

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Cornell president Michael Kotlikoff breaking his silence and describing the allegations as “deeply disturbing,” with several adding that he says the university must do better or pursue reforms. AP, The Independent, The Hill, and France 24 also frame the statement as a response to mounting outrage and controversy over Cornell’s handling of the case. The only clearly different emphasis comes from NPR, which runs a separate piece on how the case is affecting sexual assault survivors, while The Hill and The Independent also uniquely highlight a lawyer saying more people may have been involved.
