What the coverage shows

Both outlets center Cornell president Michael Kotlikoff’s public response to the alleged fraternity-house rape, and both quote his description of it as “deeply disturbing.” The Associated Press adds that he said the case would weigh on the university for years and pledged greater transparency amid mounting outrage, while The Independent’s extract only carries the short headline-style formulation and does not add those details.
