Criminal case against seven Cornell students heads to grand jury
The criminal case involving seven Cornell students has been reopened and is moving toward grand-jury review. The allegations stem from a 2024 Chi Phi fraternity party, and the renewed investigation changes the case from a previously closed inquiry into an active prosecution question.
• Seven Cornell students accused
• Tompkins County DA Matthew Van Houten handling the case
• Evidence headed to a grand jury
Cornell also agreed to an independent investigation of how it handled the allegations after Gov. Kathy Hochul spoke with the university’s president. The fallout has already reached one accused student’s job at Wells Fargo.
