Cornell University is facing a lawsuit filed last month by a young woman. The lawsuit alleges that the university failed to protect her from being raped by seven men at a fraternity house near the campus two years ago. The fraternity was also sued.
The lawsuit has led to criticism of District Attorney Matthew Van Houten, who decided there was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges against the seven men.
