Cornell University has announced a sweeping overhaul of its Greek life policies following repeated concerns over student safety, banning all fraternity parties on campus and expanding its investigative team to focus on sexual assault cases. The decision comes amid ongoing scrutiny of fraternity-related incidents, including allegations of misconduct and inadequate responses to reports of harassment. The university will now require additional oversight for fraternity activities, while also strengthening support for survivors through dedicated investigators. Students and administrators are divided over the measures, with some praising the move as necessary for accountability, while others argue it unfairly targets fraternities without addressing broader campus culture.
