Cornell Brings In Sally Yates to Review Misconduct Cases

Cornell trustees said October 6, 2026 that Sally Yates, former Deputy Attorney General and the Justice Department's former No. 2, will lead an independent review of how Cornell handles sexual misconduct complaints. It will cover investigations, discipline, campus police response and fraternity oversight, including a former student's 2024 assault allegation. Whether the full findings are released will shape its impact.
