A federal court ruling in a high-profile sexual assault case at Cornell University has reignited scrutiny over the Trump administration’s handling of campus sexual violence policies. The decision follows a broader decline in resolved campus sexual assault cases since the implementation of stricter federal guidelines under the administration. Critics argue the changes have made it harder for survivors to seek justice, while supporters say the rules better protect due-process rights for accused students. The case underscores ongoing debates over how universities and federal agencies address allegations of sexual misconduct.
